Can any of you knowledgeable people tell me if a 2212 1400kv motor, 30amp ESC and 3s 1800 amh battery would be suitable for the FT Mighty Mini Explorer? Many thanks

The mini explorer is a small light plane. That combo would be much too heavy for it to fly well if at all. What you have is roughly an FT "B" power pack and would work well on a larger plane like the Simple Scout or the full size Explorer.

What propeller would you recommend for this set up?
Your kv is 150% of what flite test recommends (meaning it will spin faster for the input voltage) for a 9x4.5 prop. A similar Cobra motor prop chart shows an APC 8x4E being appropriate.
