Status: offline 		From my own experience, the 22x8's have a quicker response than the 23x8. I find this more conducive for hovering and low 3-D flight.

I bought 3 new 23x8's (NX) but didn't like the way they flew so I'm going back down to the NX 22x8.

Status: offline 		If the motor is new it's probably better to start out with a 22x8. I've been using the Bolly 22x8 for seven gallons and I'm about ready to switch to the Vess 23A. The Bolly does perform very well though!!! It is a true 22''prop, not 21 1/2 like some.

I tried a variety of props on the DA-50.

I like the Xoar, like the NX but for me, the best seems to be Menz S - all 23x8, with canister and after 3 gallons.

take care
