Moment will be calculated. Useful load and full fuel payload values will be calculated. reference normal INFO 8 challenge yes no 0 "Verify ""ARM"" (station) values are accurate for your aircraft. Change as needed to duplicate W & B data for your aircraft. Default values are based on the 108-2 Airplane Flight Manual." reference normal INFO 9 note no no 0 The calculator is now set up for your Stinson. reference normal INFO 10 challenge yes no 0 "Once you have verified that the correct ""ARM"" values are in the blocks, I recommend that you ""Protect"" those blocks from inadvertent changes." reference normal INFO 11 challenge yes no 0 "Click this button to protect ""ARM"" values." reference normal INFO 12 note no no 0 You will notice the Arm blocks are now blue, meaning they cannot be modified. reference normal INFO 13 note no no 0 "If you realize after Protecting the Calculator that you made a mistake, hit this button to ""Unprotect"" and make changes." reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 0 challenge yes no 0 "There is a spot for each seat in the aircraft. Enter the weight of each person into the appropriate white block. If a seat is empty, enter 0 or just hit ""delete""." reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 1 challenge yes no 0 "Station Wagon models with the rear seats removed for cargo loading should use the ""Cabin Cargo"" block for loads placed there. Otherwise, leave it blank." reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 2 challenge yes no 0 Enter the weight of baggage compartment items into the corresponding white block. reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 3 challenge yes no 0 Enter the total fuel load in gallons. reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 4 note no no 0 That's it!! The calculator will compute weights, moments, CG point and MAC percentages. It will also plot the CG point on the envelope graph. (you can hit the button to center up the graph on your monitor) reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 5 note no no 0 If a CG, weight or MAC limit is exceeded it will alert you with RED TEXT adjacent the exceeded value. reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 6 note no no 0 If you have questions or comments, E-mail me at mplstim@bellsouth.net reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 7 note no no 0 Good luck and happy landings!! reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 8 note no no 0 Tim Briggs reference normal USING THE CALCULATOR 9 note no no 0 P.S.
