Data(very rough numbers)
XPS foam density (fuselage) - 28 to 45 Kg/m3 (lets say 35)
thrust (expected) - 800 to 1200g
electronics weight - about 250g
- 70g motor
- 100g batteries
- 50g servos
- 30g everything else (wires, boards)
estimated from the design files:
- empty fuselage weight - 500g
- main wing area - 0.21 m2
- rear wing area - 0.04 m2
- bottom area - 0.04m2
- total lifting area - 0.29m2
Design targets
- wing loading - 1500g/m2
- weight - 800 to 1000g
we're ate:
- 250g max payload which is OK
- 2760 to 3500 g/m2 wing load which needs addressing
- 0.8 to 1.2 TWR which is so-so

I've actually misread the plans, the craft is supposed to weigh 500g total weight, not just the fuselage, and so this improves our chances ...hopefully
