Hello Tim and Skydemon Team,
‌How does Skydemon know or calculate the level arm of the fuel tanks?  I see the fuel weight is added from the required fuel but I cannot find where it obtains the lever arm information from.  I am adding a TB10 so quite simple port and starboard wing tanks.

Are you using the "simple" model on "standard"? The simple model doesn't do balance, only weight.

The lever arm is part of your aircraft setup. For each loading point or fuel tank you'll need to specify it.

Hello Tim, I am using the 'standard' model.  I can add fuel as a loading point but then fuel weight will be added twice - once from the fuel required calculation that the tool does and once when I manually 'add' the required weight to the manually added fuel load point??
