Default RE: f-22 speed plane help wanted

i would like to stay on the high side of your engine reccomendation, as i was origaly thinking 60-70 range ... but since my thrusthp wont install (ms-dos errors for some reason) i cant play around w/ props to find what would , hypotheticly, be a good prop, any suggestions ?

this is one of the engines i was considering... as it has a rear exhaust, and the built in fuel pump would be a nice feature also : http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=76299

due to the need to have clearance around the prop for structural members, i was hoping that i could use a 3 blade prop instead of a 2 blade prop

it would seam that youd be able to use a smaller diameter prop if you used a 3 blader

yes no ?

i dont think the fuse will add much left either, for this model im just going to use straight sides and the bottom, and then the top will be one simple curve as seen below

(9 inch prop shown)
