Ya know you might want to try a 4 blade spitfire prop on that motor if they make one. Gives a ton more bite and helps with the hole shot for sure.
If you can't really go with a bigger motor than I would assume that your package is optimized as best as it can be and agree it should be sufficient to handle what is on the recommended person\weight plate.

Once I move the motor up, I am going test out a stainless 11 pitch I have and I also have a spitfire 4 blade with an 11 pitch that was supposed on there before I did the lower end over from the old owner. It is a little beat up so I did not want to put it on, but i am going to use it in the test runs, as well as the current 9 on there now
