Default Protege 60

My cousin showed up last week with his new Protege 60, OS 61, and Futaba 7C, and wants to learn to fly. He has been using a sim, and I had him on my Nexstar w/buddy cord a few times. His problem is that his reaction time is a little slow. And, we saw a Protege 60 at the club that was being flown quite well, and quite fast by one of the club members.
I do realize that it does not have to be flown a full throttle, but I was wondering if a three blade prop would help "slow things down" for him. If so, what size would you guys recommend? He already had a spinner and 12x6 prop that we installed, but have not flown the plane yet.
Thanks
