Default Slowstick abomination

I have a slow stick that has been gathering dust for a while so I am trying to see if I can create a combination of spare parts and tape that will fly. So I have a slightly used motor from a Parkzone T-28, a Castle Creations Thunderbird 18 ESC, a 7.4v 1300 mah 20c battery, a 9.5 x 7.5 prop, and a Spektrum 6110e receiver. Oh, and two large hex nuts taped near the tail for balance. The plane is yellow, so it all looks great!

It is balanced so the CG is where the slow stick says it belongs but with this motor would that change? Can this ESC work with this motor and battery without burning up? Seems to run fine on the ground...but will it fly?

Any insights welcome.
