RE: DA-50 prop question
I use a PT Models 22X8 CF prop for Breakin
I just switched to the PT models 23X8 since I can now rip the 22X8 going vertical on my GP Cap232. I have not flown it yet but on my other planes this same prop on a DA50 pulls like there isn't even a plane attached and is really quiet.
Troybuilt models sells these props. They are hollow CF and are very light. I used to use 3W and NX props on my Da's, these PT model props are Mezjlik clones and every bit as good.

RE: DA-50 prop question
Thanks for the replies. Well it looks like 22x8 is a good break in prop and the 23x8 is a good 3D prop. Everyone seems to agree on this so far.
Thanks

Shakes,
The spool up on the PT is pretty good. I can't do it right now but if you go over to the troybuiltmodels web site he lists the weights for each prop. I believethe 22X8 is something like 4 or 5 ounces. When he had the Mezjliks all listed there, the 22X8 was 6 or 7ozs

RE: DA-50 prop question
of the 4 or 5 props I have had (I try a different one when I get bored)..
the 3w 23x8 and the nx are great stump pullers.
