This is my first Cocoa app. I've been learning to program for fun in my spare time at work. Let me know what you all think, and if you have any suggestions. It's a weight and balance application for light aircraft.

You can download it here (http://homepage.mac.com/egressing/downloads/Weight%20&%20Balance.dmg)

Thanks

Chris

What does it do? I sorta wanna know before I use it lol?
Not to be too paranoid, but I just switched lol. Prolly a little Windoze mindset kicking in.

You enter in moment arms for the pilot, passenger, fuel, baggage, etc. It saves those values in preferences and then you can enter the weight of the pilot, passenger etc. After you enter those two sets of information the program will tell you if your plane is balanced properly.

Hi Mr Beardlsey - I'd love to help out, but I'm still running 10.2.6 ... so I can't launch it. :(

Nice Application icon though. :)

I don't have any data for any aircraft with me, but it certainly looks to be a handy utility. :)

I wrote it for my dad. He is building an RV-8 and was jealous of the windows weight and balance programs. I thought I'd try my hand at some cocoa programming. If anybody needs some default numbers to test out the app. I can post some.
