Default Will aZinger 22x10 prop fit a DA-50?

Hi All,

I wondered if this prop can be drilled for a DA-50?

Thanks

Lang

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?

Cheers

I use a Zinger 24x8 prop on my DA 50 and it works just fine. Hub is an easy drill for the engine.

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.
Just my .02

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.
