I recently made a larger wing for the FT Explorer. I was using the trainer wing (8 inch chord, 57 inch wingspan, 456 Inches squared wing area) for my autonomous Ardupilot setup. The AUW then was 930 Grams. I'm sure it would still fly but decided to make a new wing to increase the aspect ratio and add aileron controls. So I increased the wingpsan of the Sport wing until I had a large wing with a 7 inch chord and 75 inch winspan (525 Inches squared wing area). I also added some winglets for good measure. The AUW now is 1000 grams. I am using a 2200 mah 3S lipo, 1000 kv motor, 10/4.5 prop (extended firewall), Pixhawk PX4 2.4.6, Raspberry Pi zero, Raspberry Pi cam, and a AC56 Wifi adapter (Using it as my Telemetry and Video TX via OpenHD. This is obviously alot of gear. So will it fly fine?
