info Will this CARBON FIBER UM fly?

Ok guys, I am currently on a project to create a carbon fiber ultra micro P-51. Below is the math calculations:


35 grams by stock

Wing = 5.8 grams
Body - 5.4 grams (1.6 top + 2.8 bottom + 1 'bulge')
Tail = 1.1 (.4 vertical + .7 horizontal)
Total = 12.3 grams



Rectangle - 16 in L, 4 in W
64 square inches
~.05 square yards

2.4 oz/yard
.12 oz
3.4 grams dry

.73 oz/yard
.04 oz
1.13 grams dry

4.53 grams dry total
.
.
1:1 = ~10
1:1.2 = ~11
10 - 11 grams for wing

Difference against original part: 4.2 - 5.2 grams



Cylinder - 12 in L , 2 in D
82 square inches
.064 square yards

2.4 oz/yard
0.1536 oz
4.36 grams

.73 oz/yard
0.04672 oz
1.33 grams

5.69 grams dry total
.
.
1:1 = ~11.38
1:1.2 = ~12.52
11.4 - 13 grams for body

Difference against original part: 6 - 7.6 grams



CF total low = 11.4 + 10 + 3 = 24.4 grams
CF total high = 11 + 13 + 3 = 27 grams

Difference low = 24.4 - 11.2 = 12.1 grams
Difference high = 27 - 11.2 = 14.7 grams

Added weight due to CF = 12.1 - 14.7 grams

Powerplant:

AP05
XP-3A
1 cell



I really don't know if it will fly . I added 8 grams to my P-51 and did some test flights…but 5 grams more?

Thinking to cut down weight downsize the body (top half…maybe lessen the canopy size). Any ideas?

If impossible, direction will change and this thread will be deleted. Instead, I will just make some jets. Not my cup of tea but want to make an RC plane out of CF :p

Anyone have links to buy a 30 mm EDF airframe?
