Well, it is pretty hard NOT to design one of the little quads we fly such that CoG and CoR are more than a few mm away from convergence. My point was that there's a LOT of discussion on the subject, and it's pretty hard not to find things like the calculator above once you start looking, no matter how little you may know.
And I agree... just using the factors it generates without understanding the math it's using usually does more harm than good... as I discovered myself firsthand.
That won't stop dozens of new pilots every day from setting forth on this very same Odyssey I myself traveled years ago. ;)
