Default RE: Foam Seawind EP from Great Planes...

I have a dilema about my motor and batterie selection for my GP Seawind EP. I need advice about what is the best selection between theses two combo :

* Both from http://www.lightflightrc.com/

1) Suppo 2212-13 motor with 1320 Thunder Power 3s lipo batt.

OR

2) Suppo 2217-09 motor with 2100 Thunder Power 3s lipo batt.

So the first combo is really light but are ''maybe'' under powered ? While the second have lot's of power but it much more heavier, now will this extra weight cause problem ?

Here is the specs of the motors :

Suppo 2212-13 :
• 47g Mini Outrunner
• Kv: 1000, Rm: 0.090, io: 0.5A, Poles: 14
• Max watts: 145, Max amps: 12A for 60sec
• Shaft is 3.17mm
• Dimensions: 28mm x 30mm

Suppo 2217-09 :
• 70g Outrunner
• Kv: 950, Rm: 0.095, io: 0.9A, Poles: 14
• Max amps: 15A for 60sec
• Shaft is 4.0 mm
• Dimensions: 27.5mm x 30mm
