Would an Emax 2822 be enough to power it? And if so, what prop and battery setup would you recommend for it?

Yeah I bet it would! Honestly a 7-8" would work fine. And a 1300 3s would be my battery choice

What would be your prop choice?

No idea since I don't remember what size prop the motor can use. I haven't messed with mine for awhile

Okay. A 20 amp ESC should be enough right?
Yep, that’ll work great! I really like the APC 10x5 prop. For the battery I’d probably use a 1500 - 2200 3s. The 2822 is a pretty light motor so you’ll want to get as much nose weight as you can.
Yes, that’ll work.

And use a 10x5 apc prop? That seems pretty big.
It should work - the motor specs say 9 - 10 inch prop. Make sure you get the thin electric version, not the sport prop though.

And would using a 30 amp esc be bad for the motor? I don't know much about that kind of stuff. I'm debating between the 20 amp or the 30 amp version of this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074JGKSZS/?tag=lstir-20 . Do you think it'll work? I want to keep the price down since at some point I want to just give this to my friend to get him into it all.

Okay! I was just asking since this: http://www.valuehobby.com/emax-cf2822-outrunner.html says only to use it on a 2s.

Is this a good battery? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01725A4K6/?tag=lstir-20
It never hurts to have an esc with a higher amp rating. Either a 20 or 30 amp esc will work with that emax motor, but if I were you I'd get the 30 amp just to stay on the safe side.

Okay. What about the other questions?
Hmm, interesting. I was just looking at the specs on the FT store which weren't as specific. Honestly in that case I'd get this 9" prop. Usually on a motor the smaller prop size is for the higher voltage, so 2s would correspond to the 10" prop and 3s would correspond to the 9" prop.
Yes, tattu batteries are some of the best!
If you're ordering from valuehobbies I might recommend using this motor: http://www.valuehobby.com/2830-1200kv-outrunner-motor.html I have two of them and they work really well! One of the best things about them is since they use a bolt-on prop shaft you don't have to worry about breaking a prop collet or bending/breaking the prop shaft. I've used mine on 9" and 10" props on 3s with great success.

Would that prop fit onto this prop saver? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079HL25P4/?tag=lstir-20
Yes, it should.
