Propellors and Motors

My FT P-51 flat flyer came with the B kit (FT 2207 motor and a 9 inch prop). I've just built another flat flyer from scratch (don't know why I keep trying) but am out of 9" props (they all broke with my first three flat flyers. I have an 11 inch prop that fits well (meant for an FMS Cub). What happens if I use that instead? I know I can just go out and see, but if it burns out motors or will crash my plane for sure or something like that, I'd like to know beforehand.

You basically answered your own question about the out comes.
