No one has really addressed my initial question, though, regarging the orientation of the holes in the prop hub.. Some say it doesn't matter, but I have a hard time believing that. Others didn't read or understand my post fully. The DA50 has a 4 bolt prop not a 6. What are your thoughts on the orientation of the 4 bolt holes?

Your Zinger will be just fine for break in.. Go out and fly, have some fun, learn the engine and working with gas, THEN spend a few bucks on a good prop.
When you bring your prop hub up on compression and put your prop on so it's at 1:00 and 5:00, you'll find that each of the 4 bolts will be in a different grain of the wood. Not much, about the diameter of the bolt, but that's enough so you don't have to worry about the prop splitting. I've yet to have my DA 50's backfire or kick back when starting them, and I would think this is when the best chance for a split prop would be. They just don't kick back like 4 strokes.....normally.
