Uh Oh, now his wife is gonna blame me for him spending 600 dollars on an engine....

You won't regret it one little bit. Also if this is a brand new DA50 then use a 22x8 prop and after 5 or 6 gallons on Lawnboy ashless at 32:1 then switch to the 23x8 and a good synthetic oil at 50:1 or above.

I would recommend the 22x8 PT model props that TBM sells and they seem to be a perfect match for the DA50/Cap combo and fairly quiet to boot. Yep, they are 50 bucks but again, well worth it. I tried both the Vess 22A and 22B and the plane did not seem to like it, the engine did not care though. Go figure, my Brison 3.2 loved the 22B on my Ultimate but hated the PT model 22X8
