Hey there,
I wonder how to set up SD in order to get a reliable weight and balance calculation. Anyone who may help me?
What do I have to enter?
Empty weight is 555kg and Empty weight lever arm is 406mm. Passengers 143mm, baggage and fuel 824. That is all information i could found in the manual.


Thanks in advance!

I've done a number of SkyDemon W&B profiles for a range of aircraft (including other Diamond aircraft), so I had a look at this thinking it would be relatively easy. Unfortunately, after reading all the relevant text in the AFM, I fear there is just too great a chance of making a mistake while converting the method described in the AFM into the conventional mass-and-arm format required by SkyDemon, Add to that the complexity of things like minimum seat weight and trim weights which I don't think SkyDemon even supports, and I think you're going to struggle to get this aircraft's W&B described adequately.

Hopefully someone else will come along and be able to help you - but it might have to wait for Tim's team to add some new features into SkyDemon.

Good luck, and sorry I couldn't help.
