The Corsair is ready for her maiden, AUW is 53 grams. I will add more detail after it has flown. I have two seperate sources that say the wing area and weight are a good match to the motor, battery, and prop, but the thrust just seems weak to me.

No wonder I think it is under powered, in this configuration the HiLine Micro-4 motor only gives 15g of thrust. If I find it doesn't want to fly I can boost the power by adding another battery cell, but they claim this should work. I should also have mentioned that the motor, battery, prop, and associated wires/switch/jack weigh 25 grams, nearly as much at the airframe.

Looks great! Cannot wait to see some in-flight pics. Watch out for the trees.
