Zinger's for me have always revved up more than most others, less load I believe and they flex more than other's. Good sport props on lower power engines IMO.
A 24" prop disc will provide more static thrust at the same rpm as a smaller prop, unless you can slow the idle way down with the big wood I believe speed will not be effected for landing.
As far torque rolling goes the larger prop will bite harder and with the larger disc area you'll find it hard to find a good compromise for hover with throttle settings, I refer this phonomena as pogo sticking. Plus the larger prop is harder to spool up.
I'd stick with a 22/8 Menz S, Moki, Bambula, 3W or even the Mejzlik prop, there are others as well. Wide blade props seem to offer the best braking.
