Replacement prop?

Replacement prop?
I bought a multiplex minimag as a starter plane from towerhobbies and broke the prop pretty quickly. It is a 5x4 prop, but I can't seem to find a replacement on TH?? Can I go with a different size prop? 6X3? I've read that the stock prop is not optimal for this plane anyways... The review suggested a 7x3.5 but I'm scared that it would make the plane much faster and therefore harder to fly for a noob

7x3.5 will not give you much more speed. when propping a plane I always have two or three to use from, first I check them on my wattmeter to make sure I am within the limits of my plane, then I normally change it to suit my flying style, like on my ultamite bipe, I ran a 12x6 fro all out 3d, then ran a 11x3.5 for sport flying.

And these props:

I'm not really sure if those props will fit.. I may have to drill out the center. but for a couple bucks it's no big deal..
