Hello guys,
I am using 6x Roxxy 2827-34 750kv on my hexa.
Right now I am flying with 10x4.7 APC props.
I also have bought some EPP 11x4.5 but haven't tested them, because they bend quite a bit and aren't as sturdy as the APC.
I now found out there are 11x4.7 APC available, also.
What would you use?

Where is your throttle when you hover? If it's above 50%, use the bigger props, if below, stick with the 10's. If it's far below, then step down to 9's.
My quad hovers at about 41-42% throttle (you can check the value in the logs) at the beginning of a battery pack, that rises to about 47% or so at the end of a flight. I like the extra punch I get with having the bigger props I selected. It flies just fine with the next size down too. I noticed that I have longer flight times with the larger prop.
You'll have to adjust your tune a bit when you change prop size.
Don't get too overpowered, that'll give you problems too.
