IIRC, about 500 Lb. with 2 6" O motors installed. Mine weighs right at 100 lb. with 2 98/7680 motors installed.

Now that's an Upscale!
The Fliskits Tres 24 comes with one of those really fat shock cords to attach to the nosecone and parachute, and skinny kevlar shock cord that attaches to the engine mount. What is the best way to tie these very different cords together? See photos.
Thank you.

The sheet bend is meant to tie different diameters of line together; that's probably what I would go with.
Hi @eshenderson, I've been watching the website for some time waiting for the Deuce 29 to be restocked. Any idea when that might happen?

Pleased to announce the reintroduction of the Decaffeinator! This is our other foam cup kit and is being sold with the glider, an "extra" cup so it can be constructed in the easier to transport two section configuration and a few shrouds pre-printed on sticky paper. Happy new year to everyone!
Something a little different, not terribly difficult, and has a glider to boot. I'm in.
Side note, any prospects for restocking the Night Whisper soon?

Just waiting for nose cones for the Night Whisper. Hopefully will arrive very soon
...and ordered!
Just found out about the 29mm Deuces Wild and will definitely get one!
Related, I just started building the 18mm Deuce, but had taken the bt from the kit to send to a friend in need of one. I've since ordered more, but can anyone tell me the bt60 tube length?

Pretty sure it was 18", I'll check mine tomorrow.
No need, 18" confirmed.
Thanks guys! I actually just came back to note that the parts list on the back of the face card notes the same. I earlier found someone who noted 17.5", but that may have been a custom build.

We are proud to announce the Radial Velocity! 29mm mount, different for sure, very draggy and a good option for doing L1 in style! We have a few in stock with production ramping up now.
