Default Prop size, Fuselage diameter!!

Hi.. I have a somewhat technical question..
Is it neccessary for the prop to clear the fuslage in order for the plane to fly properly?? I mean is it neccessary that the prop diameter be obviously larger than the fuselage.. I have a stong brushless motor (28-45-2700kV) which When run on a 3s lipo and a 5" prop can be handeled by my 25amp ESC.. Can I fly my 42" plane with it if the thrust is equivalent to or more that of the recomended motor with a larger prop.. They recommend a 1000kV motor, 3s lipo and 11" prop..
What do you guyz think???[&o]
