Default 4 Blade prop rpm?

I am normally swing a 22x10 prop at 6500 rpm, BUT I am trying to fly my Spitfire with a 4 Blade 18x8 prop and it seems that its giving my model considerable amount of torque, say at 4 click of trim to the right is required for level flight. Is my 4 blade too small? you think a larger blade would be better? 20x8 instead or 18x10? I could not stabilize the reading with my junky tack as it floats around 4500 rpm.

I am using a 4 blade made by Zinger.

I am lost for what to expect as far as RPM should be on a 4 blade...

Thanks for any input you might have,

Vic, I got the pics of your Spitefire in flight and coming in deadstick. Nice pictures, I will carry them around in my car. Next time you see me, remind me, I am sooo forgetful.
