Default RE: Complex shape flying wing/delta CG calculator

Dan,
I went back and checked all my #'s again and see where some of my measurements were calculated from the front of the motor mount and some were from the true datum position on the cord line. Making these corrections in the Excel spreadsheet brought the CG location much closer to what you came up with. Thanks for taking a look.

Your maiden flight Looked like you had good pitch control and a little sensitive on the roll axis. I had to watch the landing a few times. My expression probably matched the sounds coming from your camera man's mouth.
