Prop selection is important. On a 150cc: two blade Bolly 30-10. On a 100cc: two blade Menz 26-10 or 27-10. 50cc: Go home, we don't like yer kind here.

How about a 28X10 Mejzlik on the DA 100?

Those props suck! Anyone that uses Mejzlik props have no idea what a real prop is, so for all you guys wanting to see who knows their stuff, it's easy - if their plane has a Mejzlik prop on it, they have no idea what they're doing. IMO, Zinger is way underrated and I strongly suggest trying them out.

Anyone that would fly a Zinger has to have Bats in their Belfry! Master Airscrew is much better!

(serious hat on) I actually use that, key is don't be a jackass with the throttle.

Truthfully, it's too much load for the DA. You need rippage at 1/2 throttle max. 26-10 please, preferrably Menz, Bolly, or Prince.

Jesus. I just bolted on the 28-10 Mejzlik from the start. Called for a guy with a 26-10 on his DA-100, my ears were bleeding after that. 26-10 is way too little load for the DA-100.
