Group: Forum Members Posts: 72, Visits: 261	Hi all, just subscribed to SD now Android is supported (hope the full range of features make it across). Anyway I am having real difficulty setting up the w&b envelope for our aircraft. There is already an online envelope which uses a Microsoft spreadsheet. This can be found here:- http://www.dukeriesaviation.f9.co.uk/downloads/wb/G-ROLY_WeightBalance.xls Can someone please assist me with using this graph to set up my Skydemon as I cannot get it to appear correct at all. Many thanks Liam https://www.instagram.com/liam548/
