Hey, so I am trying to simulate the pitching motion of a NACA-0012 wing and I went through the tutorial. I used 6-DOF rigidbodyofmotion solver. I am unable to accurately determine the moment of inertia of the wing. Due to this, my angular velocity seems to blow up after a while.
Can anyone please help me with it?

13.6 gm wing with a chord length of 0.15m, span of 0.15m and the max thickness is 0.018m.
I want it to pitch (not plunge) from 0 to 18 degrees at 0.0314 rad/s.

I have added my dynamicMeshDict file for reference.
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;

motionSolverLibs ("libsixDoFRigidBodyMotion.so");

solver sixDoFRigidBodyMotion;

sixDoFRigidBodyMotionCoeffs
{

}
