Default Help with weight

Ok, I am stepping into Electric for the first time as far as doing everything myself. I built a canard pusher. I am using a GWS 100 direct drive. The wing is a premade from one of the RTF V tail type planes(I am using the smallest wing I could find) and the fuse is just a stick. Anyway, with a GWS 100 direct drive in a pusher set up, and a 6 volt battery, what would I want my weight to be at? As of now, ready to fly I am at 4.9 ounces(135 grams) and it feels like it has enough thrust but I figured I would ask those who know. Thanks everyone.
