I would go for a bigger than suggested spec motor with any model you intend to fly at McCoy park
For the simple reason that it's a field with very short approaches and quite a few obsticles. When you want to avoid any one of them or just leave it a little late to decide to go around for another landing approach you want the power to be able to point that machine at the sky and climb out of harms way with out the fear of stalling due to lack of grunt !!
Personally I would go for a G10 or a G15 the G15 has twice the power of the Park 480 and weighs only 2 grams more than the G10. The G 10 has about 50% more power. You will need a 50A esc for the G 15 if you want to get the full power it's caperble off but you can run it with a 40 A esc if you don't load it up with too big a prop.
Both the G10 and G 15 are smaller diameter than the Park 480 so no problem there but they are a little longer
Hope this is of some help
