I have started a new project and am calculating the flying stab MAC and stab pivot position. My problem is that the examples show the MAC calculated on a wing that has square edges and straight lines. My wing has a round outer leading edge and the root/ tip are not parallel. If I fudged the shape to make the example work for my wing, I will be adding or subtracting area which would change the true MAC. Another concern is do I extend the root and tip lines in the direction they are currently going since they are not parallel to each other? What about the curved root? I included a drawing of the actual stab (on top) with a MAC line and a 25% MAC line as well as a rendering of a "fudged" one with the MAC reference lines. Thanks for entertaining another flying stab question.
