<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The following formula was presented by noted
British modeller Gordon Whitehead in How To Make Scale Models Fly ( 1980 ??). I
have been using it over 20 years and find it dead on for
pattern:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> CG (from
LE MAC) = MAC/6 + 0.25x As/Aw M</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
As - area stab Aw - area
wing</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> M
- moment arm, ac to ac</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is easy to use the graphic method to
find the wing MAC. You can guess at the stab MAC and be close
enough.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The formula works on anything from a tailess to a
Quickie.</FONT></DIV>
