I've created the two W and B profile strings as shown above by extrapolating the numbers from the Savannah POH and converting the moment values (lb*m) to distance and weight in lbs to Kg as required by SD.

However, the resulting envelopes in both cases look almost square and nothing like the original which slopes to the right.

Can anyone shed any light or indeed have a correct Savannah W&B profile string they might like to share?

Note:
For the first string I used the POH graph as is ie a MAX weight of approx 1235 lbs (560kg)

For the second string I drew a horizontal line across the POH graph at 992 lbs (450kg) to comply with the UK MAUW limit.

Hi

Moment graphs always slope towards the right. As you've now converted it, it is not surprising it appears square.

It sounds like you have done it correctly.
