Default RE: twist 3d for a fun fly/ what engine?

Well I've got the plane all together and it's definetly tail heavy with the webra 50 but the good news is its still light. I have the battery underneath the fuel tank as far forward as possible and with a brass spinner it will balance at 4.5" from the front of the wing. The total weight is at 4.75 lbs which really surprized me!

I'm thinking of runing a fuel with 10-15% nitro and I was gonna try a 12X4 prop but the shop here doesnt have one so in the mean time I might try an 11X5.

Will this be too small for break in? I know you want to usually go bigger diameter smaller pitch but this is within the webra recomendations; What do you guys think?
Thanks
