Another question about Bernie's spreadsheet. Did he do an article
anywhere about application of the info in the sheet.
As you said, looks like the data was developed around F1D planes. I
wonder how well it really fits heavier planes like SO. Does it
provide directionally correct info, but not really optimum? Or is it
misleading because of some basic underlying assumptions.
As is, it at least gives what seem to be fairly correct cg and static
margin info.

the 2000 version of the program which includes data for 65 cm F1D's,
55cm F1D's and a few other models. I've been using this program for
several years to design all kinds of indoor duration models.

I've never posted it because I never asked permission to do that. If
someone knows how to get in touch with Bernie to secure that
permission I'd be happy to post it publicly.
