I have flown my Edge 540 with Torque Motor with both the 10-4.7 and 11-4.7. I like the 11" as it seems to create more prop wash over the surfaces at low rpm's. Seems to hover a little more solid too. The 10" seemed just a bit faster, and the battery lasted a little longer, but I like the feel of the plane with the 11 personally. I have seen others use different ones and I am sure they will chime in too.

People can get you in the right area but when you pick a prop it is like what is your favorite color. Everyone has a deferent one get all of them in the rang and try them all. They all are a compromise in some since so use the one that fits you the best. 10X4.7, 11X4.7, 10X5E 9X6E, 9X6SF and 10X3.8.
