Anyone measured the CG height of a Locost?

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone has actually measured the center of gravity height and location of a Locost? If so what engine were you using?
Thanks.

The COG of most sports cars is somewhere between the centre and top of the wheel rim.

Your average locost is probably about 300mm from the ground.

Thanks David,
I was hoping for an actual real life measurement. I guess I will do it myself when its time.
Cheers.

Hi on a locost book racer with the driver onboard it is 14" above ground running a 31/2" ride height.

Perfect, thanks. Mine should be pretty close to that.
Cheers.
