A great plane for that motor is Great Planes Giant Supersportster. Another one is Graet Planes Giant Stick. You can't miss with either.

Scale (civil, antique, warbird), sport (floater, aerobatic, speedy, floats)?

You need to give us a clue.

If ARF ......... then to many to recommend.

200-300 for a kit, 300-600 for an ARF

I am flying a Hanger 9 Pulse 125 XT with a OS120AX and find that to be a very good match and a fun airplane....It is a very easy to fly , easy to land , easy to see plane...It needs its landing gear moved forward a little bit because it tends to nose over on grass runways but its very easy to do if you do it rite away before you put the radio in...

biker:

He did say he wanted a scale airplane.

Ron:

Even narrowed down as you have, your choice covers a lot of ground. Scale, kit or ARF, not warbird and not too fast, for $200 to $600 is not my area of interest. Maybe someone with experience in that area can offer suggestions. In the meantime, I would suggest looking through the latest issue of the RC magazines and doing some creative searches such as "120 size RC" on Google.

A word of caution, though. A WWI biplane is a lot more challenging to fly than a Taylorcraft.

Good luck,
Jim

Scale aerobatic or warbird?

If aerobatic, you can look at the GP Super Skybolt or so
