Default E-Starter prop and power question

Hi all,

been going through the site getting tips for building an E-Starter. This will be my first plane since having 2 channel gliders as a kid.

Here is what I picked up at the hobby store:
- E-Starter (EM350 motor)
- Apogee 3S1P 830mah battery (plan on getting a higher rated battery when I can afford it)
- charger for 3 cell Li-Po
- ECS - Castle Creations Sprite-25 ( they are exchanging this for another ECS as they didn't know it doesn't have a cutoff for Li-Pos)
- Waiting for a Spektrum 6 channel radio to come in.

So after reading a lot of threads and getting a lot of build tips I am worried that the battery I have will be too strong for the 350 motor.

If I just run the motor at 1/2 speed will that be OK?
Or can I set the end point on the throttle through the radio to be 2/3? (That would be like a 2S 8.4v pack?)

If I can use the 3S 11.1v battery which prop should I use?
2 came with the kit, a 9070 and a 8060, if neither of these would be any good what can you suggest?

Thanks for any input!
