prop size for escapade

I'm almost done rebuilding the escapade. I flew it with an OS 46AX w/ 11x6 prop. I'm thinking of dropping in an OS FS 52S. what prop size do you guys recommend?

G'day. If it were me, I'd start with a 12 x 6 and go from there.

Master Airscrew makes an 11X7.5 that seems to be an excellent choice on four strokes of that size.

Hmmmmm the OS FS52 is not nearly as thrust producing as the 46AX, I'd say keep the same prop or try a 12x5.

I swing a 12x5 on OS46AX, great for pattern practice. Slows her down a little and helps her climb smoothly with little effort.

Just changed mine to a 12x5 APC from 11x6 on the 46ax and am loving the new combination.
