This is my first UFO kit and first paper rocket. It was built from low grade computer paper 20 lb as a learning experience, I have a nice glossy one printed on good 60 lb card stock but wanted to practice first. It came out at 0.8 grams but needs a launch lug and the plans call for fine music wire "antenna"...are these just for looks? Or does the UFO flip over and land on these after boost? As I had my gram scale out I weighed the Quest UFO as well, 7.45 grams. The glossy 60 lb card stock one should come out around 3 grams plus antenna if they are needed? The light one is surprisingly stiff but needs a coat of clear to give some moisture resistance. A big thank you goes out to Fliskits for providing these free....I had lots of fun tonight building this model!
