CURRENT PHYSICS WIDTH (READ ONLY)–
This represents the width of your aircraft. It is calculated based upon the Physics
Dimension Scale. This value cannot be adjusted manually. It is controlled by
changes to the length of the wings.
WING LOADING (DRY) (READ ONLY)–
This vale represents the wing loading of your aircraft. This value cannot be adjusted
manually. In SAE units, this is usually measured in oz/ft 2 .
AIRFRAME-
The airframe options modify the various aspects of the components that make up the
model. The airframe consists of the fuselage, the wing(s), and the vertical and
horizontal tails.
The airframe folder is preceded with a [+] (plus). The [+] (plus) indicates that
another expansion level is available to you. To access the complete list of airframe
items for a respective model, simply click the [+] (plus) or double-click the airframe
name.
CG ADJUSTMENT-
RealFlight’s RealPhysics engine automatically calculates the Center of Gravity (CG)
location based upon all of the components on the respective aircraft. If, however, the
CG of your aircraft is different, use the X, Y or Z-axis values to manually adjust the
overall CG.
To adjust the X, Y or Z value, click on the value column next to CG Adjustment.
The X value adjusts the CG left/right on the airframe, the Y value moves it fore/aft,
and the Z value moves the CG up/down on the airframe. The larger the number in
the X value, the further to the right the CG moves. A positive number in the Y
