Here are the props recommended by O.S.

Aerobatic: 15x12 to 14, 16x10 to 14, 16.5x10 to 13
Sport: 17x10-13, 18x10 or 12

The actual prop you use will be determined by how the model flies. You can try the 18 x 6 to see how it works out. It won't hurt the engine.

Wish I would've seen this sooner but here's my 2c anyway. I have the same setup, CapX/OS160, and I was running a TopFlite 18x6. I switched to a 16X8 and it was a completely different plane. Hovers better, pulls better, faster.... all that good stuff. It just seemed that the 18x6 wouldn't let the engine tach up like it should.
