Default RE: GP Ultra Sport 40 ARF Engine choice for high speed?

I’m not trying to hide that I have a lot to learn. I’m trying to do as much of my own research as I can, but I don’t have a lot of experience.

I was never considering a jett engine, because they are much to expensive even used.

However the Rossi Engines are quite a bit cheaper. All I have to go off of is what rossi says in there manual, and that’s how I came to my decision. However, it's not all based on numbers for me.

If a tower .75 will push me to a little over 100mph I will gladly take it as this is my first speed plane. (Especially for only $90!!) It fits my price range best.

And if I find speed planes aren’t my thing, it won’t be hard finding something else to put the .75 in, and if I am overconfident with my flying skills id rather plant the tower into the ground than a Rossi.

So if im going with the .75, what prop do you guys suggest for this plane? Anything to consider other than an 11X8?
