11x5 - either APC (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX1556&P=7), MA G/F (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXZ970&P=7) or the one that comes with the RTF (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGAK9&P=Z).

The RTF uses a 2-1/4" spinner (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXK216&P=Z). Here's a link (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0005p?&I=HCAA17**&P=Z) to the Parts List for the Nexstar.

I find the 10x7 (APC or top flite powerpoint) the best overall prop on the FX, good power and good rpm. Yet, I use 11x6 when prop clearance is not an issue (and run rich, it loads the engine a bit much).

I like a 10x5 APC for a "big" plane like the Nexstar since it gives better pull, and a 10x7 or 10.5x6 for a smaller, lighter plane that is capable of some speed.
