Default 1/2A P-51 conversion. Will this work????

Hi all.

I've been doing some research into this conversion, a .074 to electric, and have come up with this result using a motor etc that I already have from my Ultrafly 300S.

The motor that came with the 300 is an A/30/29 which according to their website is good to 900g (31oz), after which I assume it would be like trying to fly a paper weight with a rubber band[&o]

Again according to the Ultrafly site it states the 300S flying weight is 624g (22oz), and allowing for the battery (2200 3S LiPo), rx, servo's etc it should nudge it up to close to 30 I assume (I don't have a scale to weigh it[])
The 300S screams along with this setup.

Now the Mustang kit I'm going to build has a finished weight of 22oz also, plus engine, fuel load, servos etc, the weight of which would be similar to the weight of a battery and brushless, servo's etc.

Would I be correct in assuming the A/30/29 would be ok to run the Mustang with??

I've read SOOOOOOOO many conflicting reports about X power rating for X engine replacement that I'm almost over wanting to switch to electrics[:@]

Any avice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
