Weight & Balance
There is software available for free download, which will help you to calculate CG and Weight and
Balance relative to the safety envelope. This EXEL work sheet will allow you to change weight, arm,
and envelope. It will calculate CG and even plot the graph.
You can look on the screen for a preview first. Or you may download
UCG software for free:
- UCG v1.2 - standard Velocity version, for MS-Excel v9.xx (394kB ZIP file)
- UCG v1.2 (old) - standard Velocity version, for 5.xx, 6.xx, 7.xx or Excel'97 version (907kB ZIP file)
- UCG v1.4 - Universial version, practically for any aircraft, for MS-Excel v9.xx (391kB ZIP file)
- UCG v1.4 (old) - standard Velocity version, for 5.xx, 6.xx, 7.xx or Excel'97 version (733kB ZIP file)
Thanks a lot to the builders, who make suggestions, a special thanks for Dennis Peterson
(N173V) who makes valuable sugestions to improve UCG code. It is now better code, and it is easier to
print out your calculations. It is working fine and has been tested with Office'98, Office'2000 and Win'xx.
