Masterlure Rocket Questions

Hey guys recently picked up a beat up masterlure rocket, pretty rough condition but perfect for using as a building reference and the price was right.

I know that they had a lot of adhesion issues and paint problems.

From the paint missing on the belly its doesnt look like it has any belly weighting at all.

So my questions are:

Is there any weight in them?

and what kind of wood did they use?

I want to build some close replicas once I get the shed set back up.

Here some pics of it.

Thanks guys!

I would guess cedar, but don't know. That is what Pond and Creek Chub used.
What does it weigh, how long, and how wide?

Looks like cedar or maybe pine, probably no weight. Like George said how about some measurements of it
