RE: Prop Selection
Keep in mind:
GIVEN THE SAME RPM
A large diameter/low pitch prop will give more pull, less top speed.
A small diameter/high pitch prop will give more speed, less pull.
It's simply a matter of how you want the plane to fly. I'll agree with MinnFlyer, the 11-6 is a good place to start.
