Prop For 3D
 
I have a E-Flite Mini Funtana with a HiMaxx Brushless/Gear Box running a 12" dia prop; what Pitch would be best for 3D maneuvers, hovers, torque rolls, etc; Thanks.

Low pitch. 4.7 to nothing over 6. Any where in there should be good. Just remember the lower the slower.

i use a 10x4.7 on my planes. mine's about the size of a mini funtana, so this setup would probably work...

Let me kick in my 2 cents.

1) use the SF not the E series props
2) use a 12 inch or cut down a 12 inch to 11 1/2
3) use a low pitch 3.8 to 4.5
4) watch the amps

The essense of the problem is to get good airflow across the tail of the airplane. All of the above helps that.
