Default SPA3D with OS .46FX engine?

I just built and finished one of these fabulous SPA3D aircraft. I am putting a new OS .46FX engine on it and have chosen a 12x6 APC prop. is this a good combination for hovering, or should I change the prop?

My understanding is that the 12x6 is more a speec prop and mot a power prop, so I want to know from som other flyers what is the best combo...

I cannot wait to run this animal, and will be using 15% Cool Power glow fuel for my OS.

The plane balances just slightly aft of the CG by about 1/8 of an inch, which would make the hovering a bit easier I have been told. The model seems a bit heavier than I expected, by I have followed the instructions exactly, and hopefully the .46 will be enough...

Comments anyone?
