RE: ASTRO-HOG Needs Power - .55AX or .75AX
I would probably use the .55 myself, especially considering that you are not looking for a speed demon or a vertical climber, BUT, if you end up needing a bunch of lead in the nose to balance, you might as well put in the bigger engine.
Likewise, if you use the .75 and need a pound of lead in the tail, then you might as well go with the .55.
Good luck
