Default Weight/lift/thrust question

I am building an Aireal Photography platform. [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3577653/anchors_3582647/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#3582647]Build thread here[/link]

My question is I've got a wing that is about 385 squares, I predict total flying weight will be about 35-40 oz, and my motor is rated at a max thrust of 26.9oz. Is all of this feasable? I know others have flown my exact same wing at a weight of exactly 40oz, but I want to make sure I've got enough motor to push this thing through the air.

Thanks,
CB
