Default What Prop To Use For a .61 O.S.

The? Is what a good prop to make a plane hover is? With a 12/6 the RPM's are 12,500 and a 13/6 the RPM's are 10,500. What I am worried about is that will the engine have enough response when I am in a hover and want to pull out when needed.

Please Voice any thoughts.

Thank You

a 13x4 or a 14x4 would be much better for hovering.

13x4Wide was the perfect 3D prop for the OS61 on my old plane.
