I'm not saying that my way is the best way, but I have been flying between 27"-55". An easy way to figure out when your low pitch is right is to keep dropping the pitch until the model looks like it is pushing the prop rather than the prop pulling the model.

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.
