Don't the plans say that plane comes in at around 14lbs? If so, I'd say you are a little on the heavy side but not way out of the ballpark. With full flaps it should not be a problem. Just be sure to fly it in under a little bit of power and then cut the throttle after you are on the ground. How tricky that will be depends on the length of your runway I guess.
