Default RE: how much is too heavy?

According to this wing load calculator your plane will fly in between a "scale" plane and a "racer". At its suggested weight it comes in at the bottom of the Scale category. So depending on what type of plane it is it might not be too over weight.

Update I found the specs for your plane and it says the wing area is 610 so that puts it at current weight in between the Aeobatic and Scale catagories. It should fly good there unless you need it to be a trainer. At suggested weight it is at the bottom of the aerobatic catagory.
