Brian W It will probably be on the EAA website in the members section. They keep tools associated with articles there. Charles |

The author's name on the article is Neal Willford. The spreadsheet is on the EAA website, and I''m not a member. Thanks. It sorta sounds like you can get the basic spreadsheet and much, much more for about 40 bucks. I'm really not just saying that to be a wise guy, or just to push the membership, and certainly not to get off on some tangent about copyrights. What really makes it worth the money is that much more. The reason is that the basic spreadsheet may be awesome, or not worth the paper that you print it on and, thanks to my own advanced lack of basic knowledge, I couldn't tell you if I remembered the darned thing. However, if you even need to ask and you intend to design or even evaluate a possible purchase, I predict that you will need the additional information more than the spreadsheed. Just as one simple example, the shape of the hull and/or floats is generally asserted to be a major factor in the amount of power needed to get on the step and airborn, and also in the partially conflicting issues of the water conditions which might be acceptable...
