Great catch on the fuel and glideslope issues. You're right-- despite
parsing the fuel attributes and supplying defaults if necessary, it
has the defaults hard-coded right in the Airplane::compile block. It

elsewhere.

I had to fix fuel usage for the Goose to drop fuel usage to about 65%

To add to what Anders and Chris have said:
Mirroring an object reverses the order of vertices in faces, which

If you're mirroring in Edit mode, you should only need to do the flip
