rv7: There was a post in another thread about the AX55 for a Mach 1 I believe. That thread is what swayed me to use the engine in my Banshee. I believe in the instructions of your kit, Jeff installs a .45.
I also have the same kit on my build list.

I'm moving in the opposite direction from most of the folks that are planning to use the OS.55AX in place of a .61.
Speaking with Dub Jett a little while ago via telephone, his comments said to think of the OS.55AX as more of a hot .40 engine (I'm paraphrasing). With that said, I'll go with my original plan of using them in my Tower Kaos ARF models and use a proper .61 in the Banshee. Remember, the Banshee was alleged to have been powered by an HP.61, or so I've read in this forum. I don't think of that engine as being particularly small or light.
