One, I am not a trainee- I have been flying since 2007 and though engine problems flattened my progression graph, I am a decent pilot. Dont worry about deadsticks. I have had so many of them on my 75ax and two 55ax I probably have more deadstick landings than normal ones. Things only began to improve once I got my current FS91SII and Dle20 (though I have had a deadstick on the dle as well but that was due to debris in the carb fuel filter)

Two, I am more a 3d pilot when it stays running, so midrange would be more important. But most of all, they must keep running. Mine tend to lose compression or quit (No, I havent tested the refurbrished 75ax yet)

Three, even my trainer is semi-symmetrical wing 65" span. In fact it can do everything in the book other than 3D and I have done lots of pattern flying with

This post was simply to find out what others do.

I still wonder, why does the 46/55 have the nipple before and the 75 after the baffle. Oh, by the way, we use mostly the power box silencers that come with the OS engines
