I'm still a novice pilot, so a slow plane is a good plane to learn on.
Currently weighs 200g - but there's still an ESC and receiver buried inside that will get changed. But somewhere in the 10oz range - maybe a bit much for an .049, but I had an AP .061 fly a Norvel trainer far worse (heavier and more underpowered). Wingspan is 33" and it's all foam. The firewall is liteply 1/8" with a block of balsa glued to it for the electric motor it originally had. I'd remove all that and replace with something a little stronger.
And just something to keep in mind - 1/2a props are hard to get locally, and paying shipping on a couple of $2 props is a little ridiculous, so realistically I'm looking for two or three prop sizes to try that will work well enough to fly a plane for a minute at a time.
