Seems a little heavy but that all depends on what you put in the jet for equipment. Thats not to bad for that size my f-16 was the same length and not honeycomb and was 47.5lbs dry.

I had a rhino in mine at first it flew it just fine so at your weight it should be a rocket

I have the fiberglass version of the FEJ large viper. The weight on my plane is slightly less than of 50lbs wet. It is also powered by a Rhino and flies very well.
