[NSRCA-discussion] Question for the Hacker experts

I've got one of these motors flying:  http://www.f3aunlimited.com/hacker-q80-14xs-f3a 


It is currently flying with a Falcon prop.  The one with the high pitch that was most popular a couple of years ago. Its a very light prop.


What is a good prop for braking?  Specific braking is desired at the bottom radius and downlines of maneuvers to attain constant speed throughout maneuvers, a judging criteria in FAI related to smoothness and gracefulness, I'm told.


I believe this is the same type of motor and speed controller setup as Andrew Jesky was flying at the last World Championships.  The speed controller was programmed by an expert for "appropriate" braking, although I don't recall the exact settings.


I am pretty sure the speed controller is this one:  http://www.f3aunlimited.com/jeti-spin-pro-99-with-braking  


Thanks in advance for the answers and help,


Don
