Default Caution

Be carefull: The M'plex calc sheet only gives a rough approximation and the Excel spreadsheet recommended by Matt is good but each of the references only addresses classical linkage issues, NOT "flying" stabs. You have to be real careful here ...
The stabilator pivot point has to be established at some point relative to the MAC (mean aerodynamic chord) of the stab and then the loads determined relative to *that* moment.
