Default Determining Correct 3-Bladed Propeller For OS 55AX Engine

Hello OS Manufacturing Representative,
I have one of your 55AX engines in an Ultra-Stick 60 airplane and a 12 X 6 APC propeller pulls it nicely. I've decided to use the same model engine in a 58" Wingspan Corsair kitted by Phoenix Model, however, for the Corsair I would like to use the largest 3-Bladed propeller that would be the equivalent of the 12 X 6 that I use on the Ultra-Stick. I would think I would go down in pitch when I go up in prop diameter, but not sure. Can you recommend a 3-Bladed propeller size and pitch that I can use on the 55AX Engine?
Thank you.
