Default How many cc's for 16lbs at 6100' elev for 3D TR's?

Hi Folks,
I have a Bridi Big Bee 96" span shoulder wing plane that I want to be able to hang on the prop at my field at 6100' MSL. Will a Zenoah G-62 be enough with a 22-10 prop? Or do I need an 80cc single? I have torque rolled many 40-60 size planes with a Saito 91 (at sea level) but this will be a gasser, and at my altitude I expect a 15% power loss. I'm thinking the 80cc single will be needed. Wing area is 1600sq in, weight is 11lbs plus motor= 16lbs. -Tom in Colorado Springs, CO
