Default RE: 16lb of thrust on 42cc

No enough info to work with here, but for 3D you want to go up on the diameter and down on the pitch. Try something like a 20 x 6 for your application and you will have much more static thrust for 3D work. More diameter and less pitch also helps to keep the speed down, which can help a lightweight 3D airplane live longer!

I also agree with the APC prop advice, and that's what I use almost exclusively.

Good luck,
