If you ballance your plane on the CG that the wizard gives you. I promise you will crash. You have to add / subtract/ move weight to make the wizards ( wrong cg) match the right CG that you know from your measurements / manual. Then your plane is ballanced. With that being said. Look at it like this... I put your plane on my wizard. It says the CG is 1" inch in front of your mains. I take it off give you your plane and tell you that the cg is one inch in front of mains...you then go home ballance it like that and next thing your mad at me because that wasn't the correct cg. But that's what the wizard said???
Your really sound confused.....The Centre of Gravity (C&G) will be were the Wizard tool tell you it's.....what you need to do is adjust the Weight and Balance of the plane until its where it should be as per aircraft instruction, by shifting equipment (S) or adding weight either on the nose if it need to move forward or the tail if you need to move it back.

Hope that help.....
