The C.G. Calculator |

Have you ever had difficulty in locating the correct balancing point of a new aircraft or of an aircraft that you didn't build? The form on this page can help you locate the balance point in terms of the percentage of the Mean Aerodynamic Chord. You will need to be able to supply some basic dimensions of the wing and the desired balance point. For most aircraft the C.G. is at 25-33% of the M.A.C., but this can vary for different aircraft and wing plan forms. Be careful what C.G. you choose to balance at! It can make the difference a plane that flies like a kitten and one that flies like you have a tiger by the tail!!
