I'll throw out another suggestion for a motor - The E-Flite Power 110. I have a Focus Sport with this motor, 8S Rhino 4900 batterys, and CC 85HV esc. This is a great combination for Pattern. I'd think the Focus Sport and your airplane are very similar in size and weight so the E-Flite Power 110 should be a very good combination for you also. My plane weighs just under 10 lbs. takeoff weight and speed and vertical are all you could want. It will go straight up out of sight.
I know the E-flite 110 is a badass. Unfortunately it won't really fit in the Wind without some serious work.
Then I suggest a Neu 1512/1.5Y/6.7:1/F on 8S.
