DA50 & GP Pitts
 

Can anyone tell me what the best prop brand and size for a Greeat Planes Pitts and a DA50 engine?

Thanks Much!

Was trying to ask Roger rfw1953 as he has the same setup but have not heard from him in a while! Anyone see him???

I have a DA-50 on my WH Edge and I still run the Bolly 22x10 since I started breaking her in a tank ago.. Anything compareable should work.. Good engine for that plane as the Fuji's seem to be too heavy and wieght is the downfall/enemy with Bipe's..

I fly a 29% Katana with a DA-50 and the 22x8 is perfect. Another friend has the same plane and flies a 23x8 and it works as good. DA told me that the 22x10 would carry to much speed for my plane. They were right! The 8 gives me plenty of speed and still make loops as big as the sky your flying in.

A 22x10 was what I had on mine. The pitts is draggy, so the 10 pitch worked best on mine with a FPE 3.2. Try a NX prop from Airwild, They're nice props.

Yup! A monoplane with light wing loading needs the prop braking, but if you chop the throttle on a big aerobatic biplane for too long you will stall..
