Help! Simple soarer motor

After thinking, I've realised that I never fly my modified simple soarer with flaps and ailerons because it only has the glider nose. So, I want to put a motor on it - would this setup work?

50a esc (because that's what I already have) - https://uk-m.banggood.com/Hobbywing...gbg-en-mb¤cy=GBP&cur_warehouse=CN&createTmp=1

2840 1800kv motor (will need to buy this) - https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy...tm_campaign=google_gb_shopping&countrycode=GB

10 x 6 folding propellor (no idea if this is a suitable size, it's just what I found) - https://hobbyking.com/en_us/folding...8tECrpzRdtmw36eHvbRoCK04QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I was going to use a 2200mah 3s as well?

By the way, I can't use the flite test reccomended motor because my glider is quite a bit heavier than normal with the mods and extra weight I put into the wings for better penetration into the wind so I wandered if this is good.

I’m no expert, but it sounds a bit overkill, but should work o.k. enough.
