I think it will handle the weight just fine......"I hope"
I forgot to say that I have this same aircraft and engine combo. It flys really well and the power is border line crazy but fun I would worry about the wing loading of smoke. Airplanes of any size weight effects. But this is a fairly small bird and every ounce will effect your flight performance. There is no doubt the engine will yank it in the air. The wings may get a little pissy with you. If you not doing deep stall 3-d all the time the extra weight of smoke shouldn't kill the performance.

ps. Put very strong servos on the Ail. At least 300 in oz
