Default Prop and Battery Advice

Hi Team,

Here's the scenario - I have a scale model plane (electric phoenix tucano) weighing in at 550 - 620grams, 21-22oz (according to the box it came in, not sure if this is with flight gear installed) I have this motor/battery/esc combo on hand - Eflite 450 890 kv Motor, two 2100mah 20C 2S 7.4v lipo (Flightpower brand) and a 25amp Venom brand ESC.

Questions:
- What size propellor would you all recommend for this plane?

- Would i be better off to go to 11.1v 3S packs as I believe the motor can handle these?

Really just looking for the best battery and prop combinations for this motor, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
