Even at 8 - 8 1/4 lbs I think it will pull it just fine for you. Mine was set up for fixed gear, haven't decided whether I'll leave it or cut into for the retracts.

Duh! Disregard Robert, I see it was linked to the text in your post!
I mentioned the Fox 74 because I have one sitting around looking for a plane. But, based on my experience with my OS 55AX, I can tell the OS 65AX will be great.
