Default RE: High wing loading on Stik with a wacker engine??

At 30 oz's per sq in" puts the wing loading up around where some of the war birds fly at. You also have to consider the CG with the heavier engine hung out there in front, Has that occurred to you? you may end up adding more weight yet to achieve the correct balance point.
Myself I would look at a larger air frame to accept the heavier engine's.
