what kind of giant traners are available in the 1.20 size arf or kit?
I don't think they are sold any more, but if you can find a Bud Nosen Trainer, you'll have a 1.20 sized plane. I have one that was given to me by an older member of our club when I bought a gas engine from him. This plane originally had tricycle gear, an 88 inch wing, and would fly with a .90 - 1.20 glow engine. I put a US-41 in this one, which has been converted to a tail dragger. It's heavy as heck (20 pounds) with the gasser and added weight to balance it, but it flies like it is on rails, very solid and stable, you just have to have a little power on at all times.
That is one RRRRRRRRRRGLEEEEE Airplane...

But it's cool too

As specially with the Gasser...
