Old cone weighs 77 grams. New 3D cones weighs 50 grams so far. Keep in mind there is currently no bulkhead for the new cone, it's hollow from the base to the tip, and I don't know if I'll need to add nose weight or not. I've changed the size of the fins a little on the nose (bigger) and they are a wedge shape now. I think the old cone has some small amount of nose weight, if I remember correctly that was more of an assurance than a necessity though.
