Default Is this rpm good enough for Kyosho TM? What power it equate?

Hi all

Well I'm about to convert a Kyosho TM to eflight. While I'm quite flexible on the power setup, I want to go for scale and lightest setup possible hence my power below may seem a tad low.

I have tested over the weekend and this is the rpm that I got.

APC Prop 13x8, I get 7500rpm. With 12x6, I get 8000rpm.

Due to battery weight, I expect the TM to have AUW of 104oz. About 1 lbs more than usual 46 setup.

Alternatively I can bump the rpm to 9500rpm by simply adding 2 more cell. However, one do not fly a TM WOT, right? I like the lo pass, fly by scale speed flying. It is a WW1 bipe!

Similarly if I can get 9500rpm with 13x8, what other plane I can fly? Again, not all out sport but scale type of flying, such as Fokker, Stearman, Bristol Scout etc.

Just for your info.
Motor: Phasor 45/3
12 GP3300 pack
Power estimated is .62bhp

With 14 GP3300, power estimated 0.85bhp rpm9500.

Thanks!
