Welcome to the forum!

That should be a good motor for your plane, even if you are planning for 3D performance. You'll need a 5S-7S lipo around 4000mAh to provide up to a 40 amp continuous draw and a 60-amp ESC. According to the specs, an 8-lb. plane is right in the middle of it's recommended range.
