That RX should work just fine. As always with a new airplane you should do some range checks with the TX in low power mode. As long as you are using the motor in stock configuration with the rear mount you can just space it away from the firewall with some nylon spacers and long screws. If you need to space it out any farther then 1.5" you can easily just trim the cheeks back to clear the prop. Speaking of props, take a look at the APC electric props. Typically they will perform very well but the thrust per amp is better then most. End result is longer flight times.
