I have all the formulas. But not the parameters. And not knowledge enough to compute them. Normally you just measure real aircraft to get the parameters. Even if you can't fly real plane, there are dozens of simulations available, so even virtual pilot can know what feels right and what not.

With subs it's different. Everything is secret. There are no simulation of this detail (I mean public).
