Who knows how much clay was included in the kit?
I started out with 1/8 oz. and added clay until I got a "glide" of about 10 to 15 feet.
In the end there was .25 oz. of clay weight in the back.
This is a tough one to test glide, it's hard to know what a good glide should be.
The old Quest HL-20 lifting body model had a small tube, string, card stock and two pennies for weight.
The total for all those parts came to .22 oz, pretty close to the weight I ended up with on my Bug.
Before sticking down the clay, coat the lower back of the inside of the shroud with glue and let dry. This prevents the clay color from "bleeding" into and discoloring the card stock.
After the clay is pressed in place, the clay got an outside coating of white glue.
