Do you have a final weight (w/o motor) on it yet?

Here's the RocSim file I made of the stock kit.

I haven't begun construction yet, but mine will be heavy as it is stretched and carrying cameras and trackers. It's also built for future 2 stage applications

Mine comes in at just a tad under 14lbs ready for the pad. Unpainted.
