Dude that sucks ! Um, zinger props are just a plank of wood... go to an APC. If you didn't, try a 15x4W, YS 20/20 fuel. If you wanna spend a little more money go with one of those in cowl Jett mufflers, I hear lots of guys are going with these for your combo. Your combo should put out over 15 pounds of thrust, that's with an APC. A Zinger won't turn the RPMs of an APC, and it's not nearly as effiecient. But the most thrust you could lose couldn't be more than 1.5 pounds...
