Ok.trying to reduce the weight. Here's the new calculation.
Motor with gb 1g
Lipo 20mah- 0.7g
Rx-0.3g
Airframe-0.50g
Actuator-0.2g
2.7g+0.3misc
New weight is 3g!
Would practically weigh all the things and post a pic here.

Sundram Sir,  :hatsoff: flew as expected!

Update: removed the gearbox to direct drive as there were some issues with the prop. Now I am using a cheerson quad's prop.
