320 grit sandpaper, a tissue and maybe WD-40 and a tissue too.

I would say with a weight of 11 ounces, you'd really need an 18mm reload. Either the D13 or D24 would get it off the rod. If I do my calculations correctly, you don't want much more than 4 ounces to safely get it up straight on a C6. My Patriot flys nice on C6, but it's just under 3oz. My Delta Wedge is just under 2oz, but has a large fin surface area, and I don't usually fly it in the wind because it just rocks the rod. So lots of things to consider.
