Default props size , what to choose ?

Hello RC fans.

I hope that somebody out there can give me an easy an good explanation about prop sizes.
I have for example a Tucano /wingspan 1500 mm. with an OS 46 AX. The prop i have on there now is a 11 /7.
It flys pretty fast ( for me as a beginner anyway ) but if i go fertical up i stops pretty quick.
What size of prop can i try for some more pull. ??
What does a bigger pitch do ?? And what does a bigger prop ( longer ) prop do.
I hope that some of you can explaine me a few things about props.


Thanks a lot and have rc fun.
