Theoretical CG and MAC calculation
 

Hello,

I know that this subject has been discussed befor on a number of ocassions, BUT.

Can any body help with the formulas for calculating CG and MAC where the FUSELAGE and TAILPLANE are brought into consideration, and not just the MAIN WING or Wings? For NORMAL and CANARD applications.

Thanks for your time and help.

Type "RC aircraft proving ground" into your web browser and that will take you to a site which will assist you.

Click on "Aircraft balance calc." and that will cover the wing and tailplane.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the leads, most interesting.

Does any body have the FORMULAS for working the CG out, taking the fuselage and tailplane into account?

Thanks for helping.
