Default Brushless motor size???

Hey guys, i am looking at building a small blue foam yak 55. Not sure of the manufacture, but it is really cheap. What I am struggling with is how to determine the size of brushless motors. There doesn't seem to be any industry standard that I can see.

The motor that is suggested by the instructions that come with the plane is am e-flite park 300, among other high-dollar motors like scorpion, hacker etc. I really don't want to put a motor on this thing that costs 5 times the price of the plane! so I am looking for a cheaper alternative. Also, I need to know what esc. A 6 to 10a was suggested by someone who built one in our club.

3s 700mah battery.

Thanks, jeff
