Default New to electrics...could use some feedback

Hey yall...Getting back into the hobby after a 7 year break. With all advancements in electric flight i decided to go that route with a new build so my many years of glow experience is out the door...lol. Im converting a Hobbistar 60 to electric for a 're-trainer'. Taking a little longer to get together since im converting it to electric and also a tail dragger, almost complete though. What i have so far consists of:

eflight Power 60 motor
eflight 80A esc
Venom 6S 5000mah LiPo

Figuring ill end up in the 8lb range, i hope this setup will work well. As far as prop goes, the LHS had a 15/6 so ill use that as a starting point. Any suggestions on prop size? What about flight time and performance...what should i expect? Thanks so much in advance for any feedback you provide.
