Default Hellcat Plans

I'm looking for a set of plans for a F6F Hellcat. As with women...size matters (in this case) I've got a 120 4 stroke I'm looking to put in it. I know that Ziroli's plans are too large for the engine and I am aware that Bob Holman has some too...a 64.5" WingSpan and an 80" Wingspan version. The 80" version will be too heavy according to Jerry Bates for a 120 engine. Their 64.5" version says it's rated for a .60 sized engine but that seems a little small for the plane considering that SkyShark RC has a 57" wingspan Hellcat and they say it's rated for a .60 - .90 engine. That to me implies that either the SkyShark plane is heavy as heck or the 64.5" of Bob Holman's is underrated at .60. What do you all think? Would the 64.5" BH Plan work with my RCV 120 or do you think I need something in between 64.5" and 80"? Does anyone know any other plans out there for the Hellcat?

Thanks,
Jay
