RC aircraft numbers, drawn out.
Three questions every scratch build and every new ARF asks: where does the CG go, will it balance, and is the power system right. Hangar answers all three on one screen each.
WING AND CG
- Tapered, swept planform from half span, chords and tip setback, drawn to scale
- Mean aerodynamic chord, its position, aerodynamic centre and aspect ratio
- Neutral point from the tail volume, CG at the static margin you choose (5% sport, 10% trainer, 15% very stable), or flying-wing mode
- Wing loading in oz/ft² and g/dm², cube loading with a plain-English category, stall and approach speed
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
- Gear list with weight and distance from the nose, plus the bare airframe
- As-built CG against the target, the offset, and the fix: the exact battery position, or ballast and where
- Side-view drawing with every item
POWER SYSTEM
- Loaded rpm, shaft and electrical watts, current, watts per pound with a flying-style guide
- Static thrust and thrust to weight, pitch speed, flight time at your average throttle
- Battery, motor and ESC limits checked
Who it's for
Scratch builders, foamboard flyers, ARF assemblers and anyone re-powering an old airframe.

Hangar
RC plane calculator: MAC, neutral point and CG from the planform, weight and balance with battery placement, motor, prop and battery power system
Draw the wing from span, chords and sweep and get the mean chord, neutral point and a CG with your static margin, plus wing loading, cube loading and stall speed. List the gear by weight and position and see where the CG lands and exactly where to put the battery. Motor Kv, cells, prop and capacity give watts, amps, thrust, pitch speed and flight time with every limit checked.
