Default Need replacement motor for Fledgling, again

The motor on my son's Fledgling(gen II, brushless) has gone out again. It uses a cheapo from HobbyKing. It's a 3015-7 and below are the listed specs from HobbyKing website.

I bought this KMS 2814/06 motor from Hobbypeople and then found out the shaft size is different so i can't use the prop adapter.

Is this motor a good replacement? Is there a prop adapter to use on the long shaft?
