CoG and CoD ( center of drag ), has anyone got a way of determing these in 3D, if so what are they ? Thanks.

BTW with regards to drag, my interest is primarily concerned with an unpowered vertical fall. I.e. the liely consequence of a mid air motor stop at height.

With regards to CoG, I know that I can suspend the drone by a 'corner' and then suspend a plumb line such that it passes through the point of the drone's suspension and repeat that using the next or all corners but the shape of the drone means that that gives the CoG in 2D not 3D.
I have no idea concerning CoD.
