Default VASS prop for the DA50????

I'm looking for a good prop for my DA50. the engine is broken in and until now i've been using menz 22x8 but, the engine is ready for a good 23" prop.
would the VASS prop's be a good choice? could anyone recommend the proper VASS prop? (A,B,C)
right now i'm flying the WH 28% edge and building a CA26% extra 330. my style of flying is mostly 3D.

thanks

I am using a 23B Vess as recommended by DA and am loving it. Great pull.

IIRC, the Vess site has reccomendations for the engine on different airframes. I'm running a 23a on mine in a 65" GP Ultimate, and it's perfect.

the problem is that both the planes are very different. the WH weighs 17lbs and the CA extra will probably be under 15lbs so, i need a prop that works with both of these air frames. like a 23x8 would.

Well, any prop will work with them both, but which would be the best suited? You won't know without experimentation. I had my 23a on a QQ Yak first, and I didn't like it, it limited the speed too much from all the drag. On my Ultimate, it's perfect. There are 3 pitches, A,B, & C , buy one of each, props are a tuning item.
