Question - Thrust vs Weight vs Friction

[Sunstorm]

Hi guys Sunstorm here, I'm still a relative newbie to RC flying.

Anyway just would like to ask about issues of thrust vs weight.

If I have a thrust of say 400 gm and a weight of 600 gm, would my plane fly?

Must thrust always be above the weight?

drag is more proper for friction in aviation terms. I think frictional force not the only force that's slowing an aircraft down.
btw u missed out LIFT

there are 4 main forces acting on an aircraft.

1. thrust
2. drag
3. lift
4. gravity

you do not need 1:1 thrust-to-weight ratio to get a winged aircraft flying
there's a lot of math and physics involved and i can't understand all of it either. you can try do some research on wikipedia or something

Do a search..... Basics of FLight....there is lots of information out there on the world wide web...

but you can try here first..

Good links. Now I just need to ensure that the airfoil shape is right...
