If you can't find a Mirage, look for a large diameter, large blade surface prop.

What he said, a MIRAGE, APOLLO large diamter, or any of teh 15-15 1/2" diameter props would work best for cruise and low RPM efficiency. You do sacrifice some top end with them, but the added cruise efficiency makes up for it.
