I like the 15x6apc. Should turn the low 9's and put out plenty of thrust & forward speed for "general sport flying and aerobatics" with a 6 to 7.5 pound plane. I have a 6.5 pound Extra and it pulls great & plenty of speed.
Don't believe you will find a better prop that will offer more thrust and still have more than enough forward speed.

Seems to me that a 13x4 on an FA-100 would be a good way to get short engine life - constant over speeding.
Alternately keeping the throttle almost shut, in which case you might as well use a 65 or 72.

15x6 is a pretty good sport prop for the Edge. It will fly the plane at about 60 mph @ full throttle. At 64" this plane is about 1/5 scale, so the speed won't be too slow. Besides, you will need the pull for a 8-lb. plane.
