Jake,
Would recommend building the prop hub with sockets so that you can rotate the blades to change the pitch and have a good pitch gage along so that you set the pitch on site. A-Z sells a real nice variable pitch gage. A pitch range of about 23 to 35 inches is what I would recommend but this all dependent on your prop design, rubber size you want to fly on and your overall aircraft which you will not know until you test it out at the site.
