A 10x6 is a good break-in prop...an 11x6 or the APC 12x4 Sport prop are good choices depending on what type of airframe the engine is installed in.

A 12x6 or 7 is too much prop load on a .46 IMO and might cause other issues...even an 11x7 is getting close to the "too much prop" territory too...depending on the manuf. of the prop. Some props have thick blades, which make the engine work harder, than say, a different manuf. prop w/ same size, but thinner blades.
