I know what you mean! Great Planes kits build like a Tank!
I've probably built 10 GP kits over the years and they fair much better on poor landings compared to allot of other kits.

Ultra Sport 60 by Great Planes

a wrinkle in it. I ordered a new one today.

Prop for Moki 2.1 and OMP 540edgep

I prefer the Zinger 22x6
With a higher pitch prop the plane doesn't want to land!
It's a floater by all means. You may just have to try a few for youself and see which one you like the best.
