You want to aim for around 8200 - 8500 rpm on the ground.
APC pattern props are much more efficient than other brands, as they are designed specifically for pattern. You may have to experiment with a couple of props to find the one that best suits the plane and your flying style, but that prop should be pretty close.
Will look into APC. I want to start with a "mild" prop (something that wont make the plane too fast to land) until I get used to it. This will be the my first time flying a 2M pattern plane (although I have flown a couple of 40-60 size pattern planes). Thanks for the advise, as usual its appreciated.
