Default RE: WEED EATER PROP SIZE???

Don't have a plane yet bu I am gonna make a big pink foam plane that looks like a high wing trainer. How big should the WS be and how much wing area should it have? I don't know. It will have a flat bottom constant chord wing with horner wing tips. It will sorta be like a STOL so should it have a reduction unit on it. I can make one but what should the ratio be. I want to keep the air speed down and have a lot of static thrust for taking off on short bumpy runways. Is 8 to 10 lbs a close guess to the AUW ( this is the first giant scale plane Ive built).
