I couldn't tell you the weight, but the bucket was app 12 x 12 x 6.  The wands
I cut off of bubble wands (app 1" diameter), and the prop was hand made.  I cut
off the end of a walnut dow rod for the center piece and whittled my own props 
from walnut stock.   It flew with the wide side to the wind and required 4
bridles to hold it in place.  It would probably be better behaved with the
narrow side to the wind and by using ping pong halves below the wands rather 
than the prop.  May have more success in lighter winds also.  Mine was crushed
in the next to last move I made, and I think that when I remake it I will try
it with the smaller sillouette to the wind and the ping pong balls.
