That may just be a little too much prop for that motor! What are the model full specifications?

Hmm. That motor should be OK, but you will get a lot of RPM drop and low battery times with the 11*7 prop

Maybe a 10*7

If you want more thrust you could with a 11&5.5 prop, which would make the model fly slower. In my little experience, the Gee Bee needs to fly fast or it will stall. So use a 3536-1250 KV with either a 10*7 prop for very sporty flying, or 11*5.5 for more leisurely flying. BTW I hope your flying skills are good - that is not an easy model to fly!

A 3536-1500 with a 10*7 draws over 60 A at WOT. With that weight, use a 10" dia prop. Higher dia means very much higher current draw. Use a 60 A ESC. Re.: the pitch, 3.8 is less. Go for at least 6; ie a 10*6 or 10*7.

This is my prediction. However the best is to hook up a wattmeter and actually see what's happening on load. There will be a voltage drop and you can also see the current draw. If you have a Tachometer - perfect! You can check the RPM too.

I would suggest using the 3536-1100kv motor with a 10x7 prop. (Should give you decent flight times)
Or using the 3536-1500kv motor with the setup suggested by Sanjay Sir with a 10x6 (Flight time would be low)

You might be fine, but will the model be?  Giggle Giggle

With that small wingspan do not increase the weight

The 1500 KV motor will give you 3-4 minutes

And it should be at least a 30 C or else it will swell and get ruined very fast
