Default RE: DA-50?????????PROPS?????PROPS??????

confused?
The member, jongurley asked for the best prop for 3D-
some flyers like to break in an engine correctly -then go to the recommended FLYING prop.
My point was that for 3D , the engine is typically running slower and the prop load in any vectored flying is higher.
A higher prop load will reduce potential thrust and increase heat.
This engine will be running about 5000 rpm +/- during throttle jockeying . BUT---- it will be loaded .
So - a reduced prop load is more desireable .
Confusing?
