Good starting Penny plane prop pitch?

So I am starting with a Cesar Banks Novice Penny plane.

I will initially be flying only in 20-40 feet range, so I am looking for recommendations for prop pitches.

If I use the Propeller forming block Excel workbook, I enter in 12 inch diameter, 2" block thickness. Not sure what I should look at for desired P/D ratio. Maybe 2.0 or 2.2?
Will be using some leftover pink foam, so I could do more than one rather easily - Just not sure what I should try first.

I should probably already ask about F1D for the same flying spaces too, with simple non-VP props...

Thanks in advance!

Regards.
