About all I can add to this thread is that the Senior Telemaster with
stock
landing gear and 4 inch wheels has sufficient ground clearance to swing a
14
inch prop over a grass runway.
, so any reasonable prop on a .61 two stroke should be ok.

the only problem I have with mine is getting the silly thing to come back
down
to earth again,
Even on a ,91 four stroke with a ridiculously slow idle, it just wants to
keep
flying.

YMMV
