Default Weight and Balance Plus CG Shift Online Worksheet

I uploaded the Spreadsheet I made to help with these computations. Hope it helps someone along the way. PM me if you have problems using it. The CG Shift portion can be a bit confusing at first.

I don't think you set up the doc for public access. I got a "does not have permission to access this spreadsheet" message.

I'd be curious to see how it compares with mine.

Works but I always think of the CG shift calculation as something you use so you don't have to re-run a whole W&B calc =manually=. if you're using a speadsheet anyway, why bother when you can just change the numbers in the main calculation just as easily?

Great point. I made the CG Shift calculation available on it more for my own purposes, and it helped me visualize the way the formula works better.
