There is a Pilot 1 Champ in the size you're looking for. Check out HobbyLobby.com. I believe they sell the Pilot 1 line.

I have no idea what any original measurments are but for that airplane with a simple untapered wing if you just measure from the trailing edge to the leading edge and divide that figure by four and that sum will be the distance back from the leading edge to mark your target CG. That will be 25% Mac, if you truly balance at that point your airplane will fly very well with no surprises.

Seagull has the Decathlon in a few different sizes. They make nice, solid planes (I had the .40 size).

The Rascal 110 would be another option in a sporty high wing plane for which that engine would be appropriate.

I have one with a syssa 30, and really enjoy it.
