Default Prop sizes..

Ok I have an LT-40 with an O.S. 46fx on it.. I have been running an APC 11 X 6 on it, but it seams like the plane just doesn't want to slow down for landing. The idle is as low as it will go. when on the ground at idle it will barely move. If you change to a different pitch prop, what affect will it have. would a shallower pitch prop increase idle drag on approach? Or should I go thicker to make the speed of the prop slower? Thanks in advance.
