This weekend was my first time I flew a true scale warbird, a .60 size topflite P-40 with a DLE 20. I have the GP .40 sport scale Mustang and I wouldn't recommend that to you yet either. A tower .40 Kaos would be a good low wing trainer for you, this is probably not what you want to hear, but some of us have learned the hard and expensive way.
On the same lines, an Escapade 40 or 60 would work too (I have the 40). They can be considered a low-wing trainer. I have seen pictures here where people stuffed a 20cc gas engine in the Escapade 60.
