Looking good for Satterday Wayne. Don't be affraid of drawing heaps of current at full peg.
With this kind of plane. It all about throttle management. With 6S and the NTM 5050 It will have more than enough grunt to fly around on half throttle.
I run a 15X6 prop on my Edge 540 which is the same size and running pretty much the same power system. It never gets full throttle unless it's going verticly and that's the best way to fly it, using the power sparingly. If I flew mine for any length of time on full peg it would drain the lipos real fast and start making things quite hot. But it has massive power there for a short burst when needed
