Moment of Inertia

Hi,

Not sure this is the right place to post this, but has anyone calculated/estimated the moment of inertia in pitch (Iyy) of the easystar.

Thanks.

Patrick

    It's not too difficult to measure. Google trifilar pendulum and have a browse.

    I guess: motor+battery 600g average distance 20cm from COG makes 0.6*0.2^2=0.024
    plus styrofoam 300g distance 40cm is 0.3*0.4^2=0.048

    makes 0.072 [km*m^2] total
    estimate +/-50%.
