Default RE: Prop selection, .91FX on Vortex

ORIGINAL: Lomcevak Duck

I'm finishing my BTE Delta Vortex in the next few days and I'm hoping to fly it this weekend sometime. Power is an OS .91FX and I'm not overly familiar with the engine so I'm asking for some prop recomendations for the engine/airframe combo. I know this isn't a true speed plane, but I've seen several guys in here had one.

I'm not really seeking max top speed or 3D capability, just a good middle ground that'll make the engine happy. I've got a three blade 12x6 (looks great on this triangle airframe) and some wood 14x4s, master airscrew 12x8s APC 13x4 sport and 15x4 wide blade (worried about ground clearance with this one). Anything other recomendations?

Thanks, Steve
Forget about your 4" pitch props with this bird. Go with the other suggestions.
