Workshop & field tip: Always check your Center of Gravity (CG) and control surface neutrality before launching in breezy conditions.
AEROCRAFT FLIGHT LAB 3D
Feel the flight. Explore the physics.
Take a representative model into a 3D flying field. Change the wind, find a thermal and follow every metre of the flight.
Flight physics
Explore lift, drag and how a model behaves in the air.
Dynamic weather
Adjust wind, thermals and conditions during flight.
Multiple aircraft
Choose F1A, F1H, an RC glider or an electric model.

Tools
Interactive tools for aeromodellers
Lightweight educational calculators and visualisations for the workshop and the field. No login, no tracking, everything runs in your browser. Start with center of gravity and wing loading.
Most important
Center of Gravity Visualizer
Enter components, masses and positions to get the CG in mm and as % MAC, with a clear visual.
- CG in mm and as % MAC
- Recommended balance range
- Export your result as PNG
For beginners
Model Behaviour Diagnostic
Pick symptoms (dives, stalls, spirals…) and get a list of likely causes and a checklist.
- Pick symptoms from a clear list
- Get likely causes ranked by probability
- Step-by-step pre-flight checklist
Educational estimates, ready for the workshop.
Everything
Wing Loading Calculator
Compute wing loading in g/dm² (and oz/ft²) with a plain-language interpretation.
→RC
RC Electric Flight Time
Estimate realistic flight time including a safety reserve and pack energy in Wh.
→Beginners
Model Balance Bench
A workshop aid that shows whether the model tends to nose-drop, tail-drop or sits close to neutral balance.
→Knowledge and gear
