Default Balancing Prop

Well to be honest, this is my first plane and have kinda followed the rules without running headlong into creating a small pile of balsa and servo's. The engine/prop combination that was supplied with the ARTF is a SC 40 MkII and a plastic prop (of unknown origin). I have seen somewhere that there are flexable props (for newbies like me) that will bend somewhat if they come into contact with mother earth. Would this be a good move ??
