One meter tall. I considered your comment about the wire nut nozzles being heavy and have since cut them off nearly flush on the reverse side. They now weigh 0.5 ounce each including the fin. I ground a lot of plastic out of the boosters trying to reduce weight on the aft end. They were printed to accept a 13mm motor in each one. They are now completely hollow. I thought about replacing the center section with a cardboard tube but there was no significant weight savings. The issue will be how much I will have to add to get it balanced correctly.
