Default Newbe to pattern flying could use some propeller sizing advice
I will be flying in my first Sportsman 401 contest tomorrow and I would like a little information and advice on how to choose the proper size prop. I have been thinking that it would be best to lean towards a longer prop with less pitch to give more pull with less speed. Tomorrow I will be flying a BTE Venture with a Thunder Tiger Pro 61 engine. Right now I have a Master Airscrew 12 X 6 Scimitar installed. I have plenty of other size props, but I really don't know where I should start. I'd appreciate some size recommendations, and also why so I may have a better understanding.

Thanks
Lamar
