WAY too heavy. Get a Pratt capsule, or whoever is currently selling the old Apogee capsule (Custom?) with an extension tube. Even the old Estes Scrambler cone would be lighter than what you're describing. I just ran down to the dungeon. One of my old grungy egglofters with dual capsule and 36" chute weighs 50 grams minus motor and eggs. With 2 eggs and a D10 it would be around 140g.
What does your model weigh?
