Need help selecting a prop for my Nemesis


My Nemesis is now all done.
Took it to the LHS and weighed it.
it turned out to be a fat 6.6oz.
set up as follows
Berg micro stamp
3 HS-55's
GWS 5 amp ESC
M100 motor in a 6.6/1 EPS gear box.
Using a borrowed batt Kolkam 850 2 cell 2S1P.
Went to the kid school just around the corner and went for a couple of test hops with a couple diferent props.
here's what I've done
APC 10x7 flew not to bad, touchy on the controls didn't look like it would have enough power to hover. bend the prop shaft on a bump into the ground.
Replaced prop shaft and tried
APC 10x4.7 flys sort of slow and needs the nose up.

Where should I go from here with prop experimenting?
11x6? 12x6? or what about these HD? props.

For now I'm borrowing a Kolkam 850mah batt, before getting a Etec 700 which seems to be the batt of choice for the Nemesis.
Thanks for any thoughts that might help.

You can try a GWS 10x8 and the next size HD prop. Good thing they aren't too expensive.

I would try the GWS HD 11x7. I prefer the APC props for higher RPM and power, but the GWS HD props seem to be good at the lower power levels. This is strictly based on subjective experience, not on measurements.
