Default Will this plane fly?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; ">Will this plane fly? This is just the initial sizing.

Chord = 5.5"
Wingspan = 42"
Rectangular wings.

fuselage = 8.5" x 4.5" x 3.5"
estimated empty weight = 1.5 lbs

Here's a rough sketch....

Question: Will this be able to carry a payload of around 2.5 lbs based on the wing design? AR ~ 7.2
I'm afraid the chord is too short but thats the max i can do.

Any Iputs?

Thanks.</span>
