Well, if the airplane is in flight condition don’t scrap it, sometimes the better airplane need repairs, what are you gonna fly then?
Only if its not the only airplane you have.

Like in my post, there are more things to try with a trainer first.

Said to me once: “in order to fly every week end you need to have three planes”.
One flying, second in repairs, third you are building.

And if you buy a new motor, then better buy something bigger like 55 AX.
What’s the point of having two of the same motors...

55 AX would fit in much better in more aggressive 40 size airplanes.

however a sane person wouldn’t listen to my advice, I have 5 planes and 4 motors, 2x 46 AX, 46 LA, 75AX.
