I created an Excel worksheet for easily computing, charting, and printing the weight & balance for my aircraft, based on an older version that I had found on the net somewhere. The values are specific to my aircraft, but the spreadsheet should be really easy to modify for other similar model Cessna 172 aircraft.
The spreadsheet includes a simple macro to make printing the worksheet portion easy. If you get the “Macros Enabled” warning, that is why.

Kim and I went to San Francisco for a few days. It turns out Kim’s Birthday fell on Fleet Week this year, so in addition to touring a cool city we got to watch some airshows, too!

I’ll be speaking again at DEFCON this year, this time about the c. 1964 Livermore Data Systems modem that I have. So come out if you want to see it (and me) in person and watch a live demo.
I’ve got some interesting things lined up, including some demos showing the versatility of the ancient Bell 103 modulation system used by the modem.
Cheers!

Duckie and I took the Cessna into town to shoot some aerial photos of the Metropolitan Industrial location for Freeside Atlanta.
