Quality of Zinger Props?
I purchased a couple of Pro Zinger props the other day for my Extreme Edge 540 profile. (14x4 and 13x4) Put them on the prop balancer and I couldn't believe how far out of balance they were. Both 14x4 props were so out of balance that I had to brush a coat of 15 minute epoxy on the face of one entire blade just to get it close. The 13x4 props were just as bad. I always balance my props and expect to do this with each and every one. I don't expect them to be right on balance from the factory, and I can see getting a bad one once in a while, but 5 out of 5????
Zingers web site states that they high point all of there props during production. Minor balancing is all that is required. I don't think so, not based on my recent experience. Last time I spend good money on Zinger props. Anybody make a decent composite prop this small?

RE: Quality of Zinger Props?
High CCRC1,
Had the same problem with my zingers also same size as yours on my TOPCAP. I recently purchased a 13X4 Zinger pro and balanced perfectly also had great success
with APC 13X4 and the APC funfly prop which needed very little scraping . ( all these props were tested on a OS 46sx and the new OS 50Sx Awsome performance !)
The normal Zingers I scraped the front face of the props to balance them ,,,and boy did I need to Scrape ,
all the normal Zingers I purchased had this issue and wondered if I was the Problem.
I will live with this because I find the normal Zingers have a better breaking effect on a verticlal down line. If I have them I 'll use them I guess.
But will probably stick with the Zinger Pros the price dif. is negligible.
