RE: Right prop for 3D
I have a magnum 70 (pretty much same engine) and I have been using an APC 14x4W. It has plenty of pull and works better than the APC 13x6N, but I just picked up a MAS 13x5 K series to try it.

APC 14x4 wide for the 70 and try an APC 18x6 wide on the 180. It might pull a 20x6 wide and this will give you easier torque rolls. [ MAKE SURE YOU GET THE WIDE VERSIONS. ]
I like to underprop slightly as the throtTle response will be better.

RE: Right prop for 3D
On the 1.80 I have been tinkering with mine. The APC 18x6W on 15% nitro is a little week. It does not give me the spool up I want. I have a wood Zinger 17x8 on it now and it's pretty good. I have a Zinger pro 18x6 to try and a APC17x6 to try. The 18x6W is just to heavy. 30% would bring it to life and I may end up there. I am just not ready to do that. I was hoping to find a good 3D prop on 15% fuel.
