Default RE: Seagull Decatholon - Please Help

I think one of the hottest engines for this aircraft would be the new OS 55 AX.
Will let you know how it works out. Spent the morning putting one into my Phoenix Decathlon. It assembled a pound heavier than my average .46size, so I figure to work the 55AX in it for awhile to see if it's worth having the better vertical. It also needed the battery pack moved to behind the wing to get a halfway decent CG location.

Have had just a little problems with mine on takeoff with the 46AX in it. But then, I don't do firewall and pray takeoffs. Easy throttle up has always worked like gangbusters.
