I'm looking at something 100"
I think the best power to wing loading is:

http://www.ultrarc.com/100ccyak/index.html with BME 115 would be my best bet right now.
I would find a thread on this plane to make sure it is everything advertised and that the BME balances before I made the plunge though.

Next would be QQ with same motor.

Most newer the planes 35% Yaks and most of the 100cc motors will be a great combo.

I will second that on all accounts.

I have a BME 110 and have been around to see several of the new 115's run and you cannot beat the fact that they will turn any prop as well as a 3W106CS and they are almost 2 pounds lighter than a 3W or DA. Not to mention they run great and are very reliable. Dont get me wrong, the 3W and DA engines are fantastic, but that weight savings is really a huge bonus when you are trying to build a lightweight plane for 3D.
