Nick, to answer your question re baggage bay capacity, the L2 can carry 1760 lbs of baggage bay split between the main baggage and the two sponson compartments. Volume (at normal baggage density) would usually cause the aircraft to bulk out first at about 1000 lbs. For 19 passengers with lots of bags, 800lbs is about the maximum bags/cargo load normally required for North Sea flights.
Helicomparator, The IAS/CAS correction graph in the L2 Flight Manual significantly under-reports the real difference. At 140kts, the graph reports a 3 knot error. In my experience, it is nearer 8 - 10 knots.
