Hi Richard, I've put a fantastic freeware application up on my website that can convert many different units of measurement. It's runtime, so you don't need to actually install it. You can download it at the following URL... www.dankitching.com/convert.exe Dan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hi Phil, Under the pressure tab, you can convert kg/cm^2 to lb/ft^2. Since kg/cm^2 is g/m^2, multiply the result by 16, and you have oz/ft^2 I have an Excel spreadsheet that I can post as well that does a couple of other things for electric fliers and wing loading. Dan Phil Barnes

Phil, use area to get the area conversion... centimeters2 to inches or foot 2 that give you area in our system. 81.7 dm2 = 8170cm2 = 8.79ft2 Then convert the wing loading using mass. 36.7 G = 1.29 or 1.3 oz Now to convert the 1.3 from dm to foot squared use convert to convert area 100

Convert.exe is a wonderful application that I use myself fairly frequently.  That said, unles its changed recently, it doesn't do the conversion in question.   Rule of thumb, to convert gm/dm squared to oz/ft squared, just divide by 3.  You'll be close enough for most purposes. Hi Richard, I've
