RE: slow stick
Depends on the prop you got. I'm assuming you have D gearing (look for a letter on the black gear in front of the gearbox).
The prop I like best is a 11 x 8, the one that came standard in my kit. You can see the numbers near the hub of the prop on the blades. Some fly with a 11 x 4.7, but I'd never recommend that for the 300. Some like a 12 x 6. I've tried these and went back to the 11 x 8.
It's a fun plane. If it's your first, make sure your first flights are in zero wind conditions. There is a lot of wing area there to get blown around by the wind!

RE: slow stick
If you look on the prop you should see "GWS" on one blade and a number like "EP-1180" on the other blade. Tell us what that number is. That is the only way we will know for sure what blade you have. Mine is 1180 and flys great.
