How to use this spreadsheet ?
Enter in the yellow cells:
- The position of the CoG
- The position of the different ballast compartiment (measured at the center of the compartiment)
- The weight of the ballast slugs for each compartiment
- The empty weight of the plane
- The total ballast weight
- The flying weight
- The wing loading
- It will highlight in red when exceeding the FAI wing loading of 75gr/dm2
- More importantly, it gives the variation of the CoG.
Feel free to report mistakes, bugs if you find some. Thank you.
This is something I have been dreaming about! Just get the numbers in and you will know what you are at. Simply amazing! I got it in my smartphone now with all the details for each of my gliders. Especially great while one is playing with a new toy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pierre! Looking forward to meet with you at Rugen come October.

Salut Pierre.
ReplyDeleteA moins que mes yeux soient très fatigués, je pense que tu as oublié la colonne "flying weight"... (somme de la masse à vide et du ballast)
Sinon cette feuille est top, ça faisait un moment que je voulais en faire une, tu m'as devancé. ;-)
