Default cheap brushless outrunner setup Please help!

Hello. I've never had an electric, but have lots of experience flying glow 3D planes. I'm looking into building a flat foam electric and am looking for advice on motor, ESC, battery, charger combos. I also don't have much money to blow, so I'm trying to do this on a budget. Here is what I've found: From balsapr.com, the BP-21 outrunner motor and BP 18A ESC. Both of these can be had for $65 total. From Tower Hobbies, the Great Planes 11.1V 720mAh Lipo for $32 and the small Great Planes field charger for $25. Would this make a decent power combo for 3D flat foam flying? Also, which prop would be best and what extras am I leaving out? Thank-you.
