Default CG Calculator

With permission to post by Greg Covey and in order to make some sort of contribution to the community I've started a project that will allow you to easily calculate the cg among other things for your model. This is an initial release and as soon as I get some mathmatical help from my programming and mathmatics professors there will be an update!



You can download the program from [link=http://www.bright.net/~wooddave/cgcalc.zip]http://www.bright.net/~wooddave/cgcalc.zip[/link]


I'm open to any suggestions, comments, or critique you may have. I hope you enjoy it.

Keep us updated. I would love to have a program like this. Will it be free? Please say yes because I need a CG calculator.

Even though I'm a poor college student and i'd like to charge for the final product I know how much it sucks to spend money related to the hobby, but not for the hobby. Like a flight sim. So yea this will be 100% free, but you can always donate.

Download it - don't just look at the screenshot

It does millimeters, centimeters, and inches.

Wow thats a pretty nice one! It's definitely got mine beat, at least for now =P

I'm only a month into the project, still in the low beta stage, so there will be major advancements to come!
