Default Help with first electric setup

I'm setting up my very first electric plane setup (though I have experience flying (slope)). I've spent hours searching aroudn to get this setup. I'm about to order off of hobbycity, I was hoping someone could just look over my setup really quick and make sure everything looks okay. I know none of this stuff is "good" but i'm on an extremely tight budget, college is coming in a few months!


I'll be using a 20C, 3s 11.1v, 2250 mah lipo- http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=5607

A supersimple ESC, 40a- http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=6461

An HXT/Turnigy motor, 2900kv- http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=4197

And a 5x5 prop (anybody know where to get these? Can't seem to find them...)

If anything is/could be wrong, please let me know! It will all be going in a 36" mini xe combatwing (which I picked up for 30$ : ))


I wasn't sure if that's the right prop size...I dont' know how to measure the amp draw so I just guessed. If somebody could enlighten me here, it would be great.

The other thing is that they are out of 40a supersimples. If anybody has one, or a similar cheap/chinese esc they would be willing to sell me, I would love to take it off your hands.
I'm also not sure about chargers. Again, they have a Turnigy balancer/charger for only 5$, but it's also out of stock. So if anybody has one of these, or the more popular esky chargers that iv'e seen around that are very simliar, let me know and maybe we can work something out.
