Weight-Balance calculations out?

I have (finally!) worked out how to create the weight-balance envelope for my aircraft but the calculations are out??

When I work them out manually with max loadings I am inside the envelope, same figures in SkyDemon put
me outside!

I am getting them checked by an LAA inspector but has anyone else had problems like this?

Might have entered them incorrectly, I found the manual a bit sketchy...if anyone wants to have a look I put them
in the cloud - EuroFOX (Microlight) and EuroFOX (LSA) (same but with a different MAUW)

Regards

Chris

PS SkyDemon 3.6.0 on a PC but get the same problem on Android

Give our support a call, that's the best bet with regard to weight and balance issues. They can talk you through it. SkyDemon's weight and balance calculations are precise, and you may not anticipate how detailed they are. For example, if you're being shown weight and balance calculations for your takeoff, SkyDemon will already have "used up" the taxi/takeoff fuel you've entered for your aircraft.
