Default OS 1.20FS needs home, any thoughts?

After 8 years my Staudacher did a figure nine, with my help of course

I want something fast and attractive for my OS 120 Surpass E. The obvious choices seem to be a Texan (which one?) or an old 60 size pattern ship. I've got some other ships on the boards so an ARF would be nice, but a good kit is also a consideration. I'm a good builder and have vacuum bagger and foam cutter handy. A buddy of mine has a full size RV-4 that I could pattern a paint scheme after if someone has a good kit for that motor.

BTW, what would be a good prop match for your recommended plane and would you have a guess as to what kind of speed to expect? Is there an aftermarket exhaust worth spending any money on, or is there any benefit to running just the exhaust header and leaving the muffler off? Noise isn't an issue at the field.

I've done a little pylon racing in the past (.15 and .40) and know I'm not going to get into those speeds, but I would like something that turns a few heads
