Hi Don and thanks 4 reply. I'm going to say this bird is about 6-8 ounces. Glad u told me "shroud line ref. I think mine r too short. First shut I ever used on this thing was an old handkerchief and pretty heavy. Launched it from "Lake Hopatcong", when it was frozen 25 years ago. Weather not looking to promising for Saturday. We'll have to see. Thanks, Glenn
