Default RE: Kv and prop size relationship help

You have it correct - for the same power-in, bigger diameter/lower pitch generates more thrust at the cost of lower speed: smaller diameter/higher pitch gets you more speed but lower thrust. A higher Kv motor is better suited to a smaller prop (for speed), than a lower Kv motor.
