Default 12x4 on a TT .46 Pro?

I'm flying on a rough field and I need to get up to take off speed quickly to avoid the bumps of the patchy grass. I'm using an 11x5 on a TT .46 Pro now, is a 12x4 too much? Again, I want more "umph" outta the hole. Right now I'm holding the tail, reving it to WOT and letting go, but its still not enough. I only have a short dirt patch then its all bumps and patchy grass from there.

APC 12x4 is my fav 3D, funfly, high thrust prop on a .46... go for it.

Ive used APC 12 X 4s on my TT46s with good results.
However my preference is for the APC 11.5 X 4. Gives
just a little more ground clearance.

If you want speed the APC 10 X 7 is good on this motor as well.

The 12x4 and 11x5 worked well for me, but the 11.5x4 had more thrust. Mine couldn't pull the 12.25x3.25, but I've seen others do it.
Take care, MikeB

If you have the clearance go for the 12x4. You don't say what size wheels you are using, however, I have found that on a grass runway/field you need a MINIMUM of a 2 3/4" wheel and larger sizes are better.

I usually use 3 - 3 1/2" wheels on my planes that I fly off of a grass runway. It may look a little funny, but it allows the plane to handle the bumps better and provides more ground clearance for the prop.
