Default I feel the need ..the need for speed

Just finished my Modeltech quicky 500. I put a Tunder tiger 46 on it with the standard muffler. It balanced out quite nice with the servos mounted on the rear externaly for the rudder and elevator.. Now I'm at the prop stage.. currently I'm useing a APC 10/7 on the plane but now I'm after some speed... well more speed.

The only thing is I still want to keep the plane managable on take -off's. I'm fly off a grass strip quite rough so still need some thrust to get the plane moving and off the ground in a fairly short time using it's own power.

Any prop tips. I was thinking something allong the line of a 9/9 or 9/8 if they stock such a prop at my LHS
