Question Zenoah G20ei Power




I have scratch built a Taylor Craft. It has a 72" wingspan with a 13" constant cord giving it a wing area of 6-1/2 sq. ft. The plane weighs 11-1/2 lbs. all up with and empty fuel tank. I, therefore, have calculated the wing loading to be just a little over 28.38 oz. per sq. ft. With a fish scale anchored and attached to the tail of the airplane, have run the airplane at full throttle and have gotten a reading of 11-1/2 lbs of pull on the fish scale. Has anyone had experience with this engine flown on a high wing of this size and weight. This is my first experience with an engine of this size on an air frame of this size and weight. With that being said, I am a little reluctant to make a maiden flight. Replies from any one with thoughts on this question will be greatly appreciated.
