Status: offline 		I bought a Phoenix SeaBee ARF that I liked so much, I bought a second one after I buried the first. It's the only plane I've purchased a second time so far. It's amazing how much fun the SeaBee is to fly, I'm surpised they're not as common as Avistars at the local flying fields. The ARF seems well made (a bargain for the price) and the hardware quality was good.

Most of the Phoenix Models ARFs available here in the U.S. are .46-sized, I don't know you'll find a whole lot for your .61 to .91 sized engines other than the Extra 330S.

Status: offline 		I'm assembling a Sports Aviation Excelleron 50 which is the best quality ARF I have run across in the last couple years, and it is dirt cheap at $139. I think it would work with your OS 60. I'm putting an OS 70 four stroke in mine. Good luck, and good flying! Jon

Status: offline 		Try the Streamline from East RC I got it for $80 and put a Saito 62 in it. The instructions leave a lot to be desired. I maidened it last weekend and it flies great it has way more capability than I do, so for now I'm keeping it on low rates.
