Default prop size

Hi I have a question for the rc pros out there.I have a chance to buy a couple of three blade props from a friend I know,but was wondering if they will work with my motors. they are 24x10's and I have a pair of planes with DLE 111 on them and when I looked up info on my motor it didn't say anything about swinging 24 inch props.This guy says he had them on a DA 100 and should be fine on my motors......is he right or not?

thanks guys I know you will have the right answer for me.

24x10 3 blade is good for 80-85cc class. My 3W 80cc could swing Mej 24x10 at around 6800rpm. I imagine your DLE 111 will swing the snot out of this prop, unless your motor is old and tired.

They said the props were too small for a 111
