I’ve made several technical improvements to the designs to facilitate throwing. 24lb paper is actually 90gsm. The maximum allowable paper weight is 100gsm. So, I’m giving up 10% unless I find a source for what is mainly a European standard for paper. These folks are helping me track down a possible source. Samples should arrive next week.

Improbable, but perhaps the perfect solution

My launch vehicle has a couple of weeks off, so more testing in a fortnight. Hopefully, the combination of heavier paper and improved design will put this project on the fast track. Meanwhile, the whole deadline is getting pushed back; tv, blimp hangar, and throwing arm all have to line up correctly. That’s impossible for the 26th.
