Almost nothing has changed. We keep on updating just to clear any doubts about this issues.
6.5.2. Payload Distribution
The payload can’t have any effect on the structural stability of the aircraft, and must be fixed in the cargo bay to prevent its movement during flight.
The weight distribution on payload placement should be balanced so that the horizontal localization of the stack’s gravity center, matches the geometrical center of the stack.
8.6 Penalties
Wrong size of the cargo bay-Min. 40 points up to Disqualification6.4 Cargo Bay
(added)
The cargo bay can have any shape as long as it accomplishes the design (see Attachment 1). During the technical verifications, juries will use an orthogonal volume of 160x80x80mm (see Attachment 2) made of card box that will be introduce in the evaluated cargo bay in order to simulate the cargo plates and ensure that every team respected the minimum cargo volume as stated in regulations.
