RE: best prop for DA50
What Plane ???
Aerobatic .. usually go for the largest diameter and low pitch ... 23 X 8 - 24 X 8 ... I have tried 22 X 10, 24 X 10 22 X 8 ... prefer 22 X 8 ... slower speeds and better vertical. Props have varying shapes, airfoils, widths, tips, flexure rates and so on. May take some experimenting to see what "YOU" like !
For a warbird ... go for the highest pitch smaller diameter to get the speed ... (My opinion) ... vertical not as much an issue.
Good Luck ... engine is powerful .

RE: best prop for DA50
I have flown all three extensivly.......The Mejzlic is quite a bit heavier, ergo noticably slower spool up...better/best overall for IMAC in my no so humble opinion, not so great for hovering where small RPM changes are needed quickly.
The MSC is a VG breakin prop as suggested, light, good all around..less expensive..the final finish is a mat..not-so-shiny, a wee bit noticable lower quality silkscreen on the letters.
The NX is my personal favorite, higher quality overall fit and finish, makes you go OOOOH, just like the Mejz does. Terrific for 3D/sport.
