Question CRP-5 Wind Side Calculations Help Please

Hi All,

I keep having accuracy issues when calculating headings, G/S's etc on the wind side of my CRP-5. (PPL level)
When I say accuracy issues, my dead reckoning is fine and is usually bang on. The issues I am having are when I am completing exercises in workbooks, (PPL Confuser, Trevor Thom NAV etc). Most of my calculations are approx 3 deg out, and its driving me insane.
I use a fine tip pen, and am as accurate as is humanly possible when 'lining up and marking', but only roughly 1 in 4 answers are within tolerable limits.

Has anyone else experienced the same issues, could I have an 'iffy' computer??

Cheers guys.
