ZDZ 50 NG props?
I have a zdz50 ng w/ the super sonic pitts muffler coming this week to install on a DP edge 540.
Gentleman at RC Showcase is sending me a 20 x 10 bambula as the break in prop.
Can you make a couple of recomendations for props, I want thrust as this plane is built on the light side and i wish to do harriers, hovers and prefer vertical acceleration to horizontal speed.
After doing a search there are several post that have had said the ZDZ 50 suffers quite a bit when an in cowl muffler was used. is that a problem with my combo?
Some RPM approx. would be nice also.
I am at less that 200 ft above sea level
thanks

RE: ZDZ 50 NG props?
Bad info -
also incorrect -
On the Supersonic muffler - the ZDZNG runs with any 50 -
probably - the "happy prop is 20x10 and or 22x8 --- for 3D
The engine will pull more prop - but for 3D stuff do not use big props . For that matter -on any brand engine -
You will simply run a risk of generating too much heat trying to hover.
RPM?
depends on brand of prop!
there can be easily waaay over 500 rpm difference
If you can already fly the maneuvers noted - you will likely prefer a free revving prop setup such as a Bambula 22x10 -OR in 22", try the Mejzlic 22x8 or even the Zinger Pro's - these are pretty good.
