I have a W&B chart from the shop and tried to enter it into sky demon but for some reason it doesn't work as I am always out of the envelope. Can anyone give me a hint what I am doing wrong or what I would have to change? Thanks and BR Constantin

I indeed oversaw a major mistake of the basic arm and even the empty weight wasn't fully correct. Thanks for pointing at the relevant fields. It seems to work now.
