Default How do you choose the prop size?

The more I learn about this hobby the more I realize I don't know. That being said, how do you determine what size prop you should put on your motor? I would imagine that motor size, motor kV (RPM) rating, plane size and weight are the major considerations but I don't know how to put all the pieces of the puzzle to gether. Also, how does the prop size pertain to speed(i.e. the larger theprop the faster/slower your plane will fly)?Any help woudl be greatly appreciated.
