I placed my motor order yesterday, based on the ones used in this project4x #T1811-2000/8613 Turnigy 1811 Brushless Motor 2000kv variationsCould anyone recommend suitable propellors for these motors in arduCopter project?urls would be helpful too.many thanks

There will be official ArduCopter motors/esc/props soon but it will take some weeks before they start to arrive. So in future we can say exactly which motors etc you should use to get best support :)
But now that you already ordered those, you could try to change them for some Turnigy 2830 motors or KDA20-22L, KDA20-20L or similar 800-1000Kv motors. Less than 1100Kv is ok or you start getting problems with propellers.
Ummm 2000Kv motors. those are rather high Kv motors. Official ArduCopter uses 850 - 880Kv motors and it's been designed for those. I'm afraid that you cannot find any propellers that you can use on ArduCopter for 2000Kv. They won'y even make puller/pusher propellers for so high RPMs.
What Jose used on his quad was special case and he used 4 x puller propeller, real ArduCopter uses 2 x puller, 2 x pusher props.
So you might have a big problem with them :(
Is there any possibilities to change those motors?
