Here she is all done, the paint was dry to touch after 24 hours, so I applied the decals. Not bad for a 72 hour build, not 72 hours of build time but 3 days from start to finish. The weight as shown without motor is 1.3 oz. The package recommended weight is 1.3 oz. Like I said earlier the balsa in this kit was real light and soft. I also kept the weight down by using dope based balsa sealer, one coat of non filler primer and one coat of gloss white. The engine mount pops out with the streamer and the flaps deploy causing the rocket to spin downward. During the downtime I am still building my vintage balsa Comet kits.
