I understand shipping chargs may be very high, but cant you order from any internet store?

That is a 40-46 engine if I recall.
Any 2 blade of 10-6, 11-4/5, will do the job for flying. You will have to use just a nut, spinner-nut or another spinner since I'm thinking your spinner is cut for a 3 blade.
Good luck.

After I soloed on my Alpha 40 I switched to APC 11x6 props. You will need to get a new spinner - I highly recommend using spinner nuts. I have switched to them exclusively, and I'll never buy another plastic spinner.

Grab a few different size props and experiment. The spinner nut makes it really easy to change props and you can still use a standard starter cone.
Good luck
