Question for those of you lucky enough to have one of these in your possession
I need to find out the Center Of Gravity of the turbine with FOD screen installed, if you have a X45 that is not installed that you can check it would be appreciated.
Basically a simple way to determine would be to take a ruler (straight edge) and stand on its edge, then take the turbine and try to get it to balance laterally, the measurement from that point to the end of the exhaust cone is what I am looking for.

Now you may ask why do I want this....
I am making a fixture to be used for setting up my CG of my plane and I don't have the turbine yet, so this will be used to simulate the turbine installed.
