Your time spent on the detail trim shows beutifully. You will like the color. As my eyes get older, I find the yellow/red-orange goes a long way in improving visibility. This is a rebuilt(from three planes) Taurus I did back six months ago with a new OS 55AX. It came in at about 6.5lbs as I remember. The 55 gives it more vertical than I can see. I always have to reduce power or pull her down when she is going straight up. It would probably go out of sight if I let it.
