Default Help me slow down.
Info:

Hangar 9 J3-Cub 80"WS
OS61FX swinging 12x8MA prop
Plane weight fueled = 6.5lbs
CG slightly nose heavy at 3-1/4" per mfg. specs

I am thinking a prop change would help slow this bird down some and still give it a good pull in the air. I have an 11x10TFwooden and a 13x8MA on hand. Would either of these props be out of range for my engine and how would they affect it's performance? I also have access to an 11x7MA as well.

Probably a dumb question, but hey, that's why I am posting it in the Beginner forum.
