Did you know on the HPs that you can do C of G with minimal effort using the statistics function? Real quick. Will post the instructions if anyone's interested.
OK, by popular demand
I use a 15C myself (showoff
) but the same instructions work on an 11C or any HP with the statistical function marked with the sigma (don't know how to get that here). The only difference lies in the memory stores that need to be recalled. On the 15C it is 7 and 5 - on the 11C IFIRC it will be 5 and 3 (look on the back of the computer).
R7 totals the x and y values (weight x moment arm), while R5 simply adds up x (aircraft weight).
So, taking an aircraft BEM of 3000 lbs and 117.5, you would key in 3000 <Enter> then 117.5 followed by the sigma button.
Once you have finished doing evertthing else, press RCL7, then RCL5, then the divide button. Simples!
