Might Mini Corsair Too heavy?

[Flqk]

Recently made a mighty mini corsair. It weighs in at 1 lb. I built it out of the foam from the kit. On my maiden flight, it kind of vertically wiggled for a second then nose dived. Should I get a bigger motor or try to lose weight? Any help would be appreciated.

Specs:
2200kv motor
30a esc
850mAh 11.1V 45C 3S1P battery
6ch. reciever
4 x 9 g servos

Is the prop on the correct way? The numbers should face the direction of travel.
If backwards, the numbers facing where the plane has been, you will only get half as much thrust as you should.

How big is the motor? I have a 2205 on mine, but a 1806 should also be enough, is the CG correct?

Yes, it was the right way. The motor was an old one from a couple years ago, so Imma get a new one and try it.

It's a 2826. I think that's what was contributing to the overweight-ness. The CG is correct. IT glides fine too. I'll try it with a new motor.
