Default RE: Prop question

There is no perfect answer to your question. You are within an acceptable range with either prop. Probably it is a little faster with the faster rpm of the 12x6. Theoretically, the plane moves forward 6 inches with each rotation of the prop (this is the second number on the prop). Since both of the props you tried end with "x6", then the one that spins faster will go a little faster through the air.
