The Ace Taylorcraft flies easily on a G-26. I had one that flew on a 1.20 four stroke, too.
When the ACE Taylorcraft first came out, I built one and it flew with an OS 1.08 FSR.
Several years ago I had two of the Lanier Taylorcraft kits. Very similar to the ACE. It should not build at any significantly different overall weight.
Some people are addicted to gasoline and oversized engines. No other reason to need a Zenoah G-62.
