Default RE: How are those phoenix models????????

Thank you……………
I have decided to buy Phoenix Funstar 3D with O.S. 46AX ABL engine as per your recommendation. But about the propeller I have some questions. I have found 4 propellers which are 12x4. Please tell me which one is the best.

1) APC 12x4 Sport Propeller: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMJ90&P=7

2) Zinger 12x4 Pro Zinger Wood Propeller: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXESM2&P=7

3) Zinger 12x4 Wood Propeller: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLG20&P=7

4) Master Airscrew 12x4 K Series G/F Nylon Propeller: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEXD4&P=7

Also I would like to know why 12x4 propeller, why pitch is so less? I am asking about this because I have no idea about 3D models, I have learn 3D model flying on R/C Flight Simulator G4. But in real life it will be my first 3D model so I am looking for best suggestions from all of you since you people are experienced in 3D flying many years.

O.S. recommended propellers for 46AX ABL: 10.5x6, 11x6-8, 12x6-7, use 10x6 for break-in.
This propeller recommendation chart I have found on Tower Hobbies website.
