Default Best Prop for Vertical???

For 3D You need a minimum thrust to weight ratio of 1.5:1
You need a large diamater propeller to give you this. You also need to have enough speed at that thrust to get good velocity with the above thrust. Pick a Large diameter to get you the thrust, but you need pitch to give you the ability to generate speed with that amount of thrust.
