"Glideplan seems like a very useful tool for any pilot learning to fly cross country or planning badge flights. For myself, I like it just for the ability to print a fresh sectional every day with the course and landpoints laid out for the day's task."

SeeG Simple, powerful weight and balance for your glider

- Print a balance record of your glider, or your whole fleet. Print graphs too!
- Works on single place or two seaters, with, or without nose wheels
- Plot a graph of wing tank VS tail tank water to maintain your balance point, or CG vs nose ballast to adjust it on the ramp
- Start from your current weighing to build your model. Add a preset list of moments, or your own custom ones.
- Store an unlimited number of gliders, or variations.
- Automatically extract pilot moment from "as flown" and "empty" weighings
