+1 Definitely too small of props. You can fit 12" at least. Check out wolph's thread for a quick guide to help with prop size. Don't drop the voltage with a smaller battery.

Thanks wolph, I've had your spreadsheet open at the same time as I looked through motor options, it is (and continues to be) very helpful. With all the reading I've done in the last month, I can barely stumble through ecalc. The web development background side of me wants to get a...

Kind of narrowed it down to these motors, any thoughts? RCTimer 5010-14 360KV - http://www.rctimer.com/product_575.html LD-Power MT3508 380KV - http://www.himodel.com/electric/LD-Power_MT3508_380KV_Brushless_Motor_for_Multicopter_5-6S.html
