Well I sold it today! I was just starting to get used to it, and I wouldn't be happy with that plane unless it had a big 4 stroke under the cowl. I don't plan on getting any other 40 size planes in the near future, so having a 55AX laying around would do me no good, and I'm certainly not going to blow hundreds of more dollars on a plane that I don't really like anyway.
Will make transaction tomorrow, and pattern ship will be on order soon!
