Will this setup run 12" props OK?

I have a 25 amp 4 in 1 Q brain ESC. 4 Turnigy Multistar 980 Kv. 2200 mah Li Po. I currently am running 10x4.5 props. Not happy with throttle midpoint (70 percent). Will I be able to run 12 inch props on this combination?

AUW is 1380 grams. I plan on using 12x4.5 pitch. I know that 9"s and 10"s work ok with 980kv, but is 12" too big?. I am hoping the extra thrust will lower my throttle midpoint more realistically towards the 50% mark but I don't know if the ESCs and motors will tolerate the larger props.

Your motors look too small. I'd suggest you to use Sunnysky 2216 or 2814.
It's only appoximate suggestion, i can calculate better setup if you are interested.

Thank you, that's ok. It is what I expected. I went ahead and purchased some 11 x 4.7 gemfans. The motors can handle 11" props ok. Thanks once again for your help.
