Help - Sea Otter power pack questions

[jehertel]

I just purchased and built the Sea Otter with the Power Pack B Radial V2 option. Unfortunately that power pack uses 9x4.5 prop with 2212-1050kV motor. The prop is too large to swing past the fuselage. I am thinking of ordering an 8x4.5 which should clear but then I wonder if the the 1050kv motor will produce adequate thrust. Do I also need to purchase an 1180kv motor? I am planning to use an 1800 mAh 3s battery.

Thanks! Any help appreciated.

BTW - FT may want to change the power pack recommendations for the Sea Otter.

You might order a 8x6 as well, or maybe a 3 blade prop. Having prop choices is away good.
