Guys,
I'm getting a little lazy as we start building season in FL and was wondering if anyone has a simple spreadsheet that they could post to calculate control component sizes. I would like to be able to input the bellcrank size (leadout hole to hole), bellcrank throw length, the bellcrank pivot length, the flap horn length, the tail horn length. What I would like to get as output is based on the input layout geometry, if the bellcrank swings say 45 degs how much does the flap deflect, how much does the elevator deflect and how much leadout movement results.
I'd like to be able to try different combinations of throws and horn lengths to get a starting setup point. Anyone done this?
Best, DennisT
