The 4 Star 120 may be the ideal solution. It's a larger airframe, but it contains a simplified building technique. The 20cc should power it well.
The DLE 20 with a wrap around Pitts or stock muffler will fit in the GP 60 cowl with no modifications. Room to spare!! That is a fairly large airplane. A 20 would be too large for the 1/5 SIG CUB.
