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.

Hi Jim, Beautiful job. Wish Pete were here to see and fly it. I like those colors now too. Best Regards, Reeves in Alaska.

Congrats, beautiful job on that one. You will love the .55. As Airbusdrvr stated, it will be more than ample power for your light bird.
