RV12 Foreflight W+B Setup

Well Known Member
Im trying to setup my W+B in Foreflight for my RV12 legacy. The final setup requires Forward CG Limits and Aft CG Limits.
"Final CG limit is defined at the maximum takeoff weight"
"Each forward - aft CG limit points should have unique weight"
I have checked the POH and am struggling on how to calculate this number in feet and lbs.
Can anyone who has entered this info explain the process?
Thanks in advance.

When I make my -4 W&B in foreflight, I found it helpful to think of it as creating a “box”. First you put the forward CG limit and empty weight, then forward CG limit at max weight, then aft CG at max weight, then aft CG at empty weight. If you go out of this order, you get a weird shaped box..
 
This is what I did
Forward CG Limits
80.49 Your Empty Weight lb
80.49 1320lb

Aft CG Limits
85.39 Your Empty Weight lb
85.39 1320lb

my settings very close to yours, I attached screen shots for my settings on the iPhone
