How much does your Estes Fat Boy weigh without the engine? I am waiting for the paint to dry on mine but it seems to be a little over the 3.0 ounce weight that is listed by Estes.

Best regards,
Brian

3.8 oz. w/ 24mm motor tube upgrade. Eats C11's all day long. Demo flights w/ B6-2 and adapter acceptably stable.
 
Thank you for the info. Did you have to add any nose weight for the rocket to be stable with 24mm engines?

Best regards,
Brian

A little. :blush: I sliced off the base of the cone, tied about 3 inch kevlar to a 1/2 inch piece of plastic sprue, embedded that in epoxy in the tip if the nose. The cone weighs 1.6 oz.
