Default Airplane engine on R/C Car?!?!

Wow! That motocalc program is amazing. I'm not sure I got any valid data out of it, but it will calculate anything!

The problem I'm running into now is if I get a 13" prop I can't find an electric motor big enough to turn the prop at say 10k RPM. Says I need around 1HP. Biggest electrics I've found are like .4HP. There needs to be a website that puts motors with props and gives you all the info you need Oh well,

One other quick question, When I changed the pitch of the prop it didn't seem to affect my static thrust at all? Does this mean I should get the smallest pitch possible?
