I tried the first sheet.
Set the offset to 4 inches and got 8 something degrees angle!

That may have been a right answer for the problem you've set up.

But no way it would work on the airplane.



I checked the math on my rev a spread sheet more carefully than on the original, and included a check feature within the spreadsheet
itself. I also checked the spreadsheet graphically using a cad program. The spread sheet as currently posted will work for all
aircraft, but if you don't have a good understanding of the vector mechanics underlying it in the references I included in my previous
post, you should not use it.

If you think there is an error in my spread sheet, you are welcome to identify it, correct it, and re-post it, or you can show me the
problem graphically with a free body diagram and I'll make the correction, but your post above doesn't give me enough information.
