MotoCalc - Help with terms?
 

Hey guys,
When looking at the in-flight analysis there are two areas that I need a "dumbed" down explanation of:

Level Flight @ Cl= 0.45
Level Flight @ Clopt=0.76

If I'm right on the other item, Stall Speed @ Clmax=1.29 represents how fast the plane needs to be moving in order to take off and not drop like a brick...but I'm not for certain.


Thanx.

me too
 

i could use that too...... I usually just look at thrust, amps, temp, efficiency & wing loading as my main conserns.

I'm not exactly sure what those figures are, myself. However, they don't appear to be important, since Motocalc says my electrics will fly fine with the power systems I put in them, and they do :)

I use electricalc and my main concern is Watts per pound. For a strong climb I like 70 watts per pound.
