unless you flipped the negative - --it is a reverse thrust prop
but of course it is below the equator so that would be correct---

Hmmm,
Nice point dick hansen. I think that it's a reversed negative. But apart from that is the hub large enough?

Guys- I saved the image, blew it up, and the print is readable; this IS a pusher prop. But maybe engines Down Under are like water down the loo, they spin backwards!
. After all, they do drive on the wrong side of the road
. As for the hub, it drills fine. I use a 22-10 on my ZDZ-50, plenty of room for all the holes.

If you buy a Zinger prop. you won't be saving any money because you may have to buy a better pro any ways.
If you are looking to save money and getting a good prop. at the same time you should be looking to get a MSC propeller. They are the best prop out there.

If you get the airfoil going the right direction, the Zinger will work. However
you would be better off with a Pro-Zinger. Either way, your DA50 will rip
a 22x10.

Thanks for your replies,
I suppose that its saving money for DA-50 run in as compared to the $80.00 Australian Mejzlik 23x8 prop that's going on after the Zinger.

Langster -
Although a 22 x 10 Pro Zinger should work fine on a well broken in DA 50, you'll need to be careful when drilling it out.
Reason being, the large diameter Zinger Props come bored with a 1/4" hole and the DA Shaft is 10mm. Consequently, you need to have it lined-up properly and securely mounted on your Drill Press. A good 4-Point Bit will help immensely, although the B&B Propellor Drills with a 1/4" Pilot Tip make it considerably easier.
Having said that, most of the Composite Props are bored with a 10mm hole, which simplifies the use of the DA Drill Jig, IMHO.
