It looks nice and fancy.

Now for the constructive criticism. Of those reading this, I suspect maybe a percent understand it in the current format. I think a simple removal of greek letters and replacing them with the a one word term would be far easier to read. It is only simple algebra, but the laymen like myself can't read it because it's basically written in a language I don't know.

Something like (and this is not correct): [yaw] = [weight] * [velocity] * [air density] / [pitch] * [thrust] with the columns marked appropriately to match. IMO that would be far more beneficial then the current format.

Otherwise, it looks pretty...
