I think you might enjoy one of the nice "Sport Scale" Super Decathlons that are available as ARFs:

Any of these three would be more forgiving and easier to fly than a true scale kit version of the Decathlon. They're nice looking models, very aerobatic and fun to fly, and a good introduction to tail draggers before you step up to a more-difficult-to-fly-and-land warbird.

Even though these are supposed to be .40 sized ARFs, they all weigh in at the 6.5 to 7.5 lb mark instead of the usual 5 to 6 lb. mark like most .40-sized ARFs. Your .60 sized motor should fly one of these nicely without being overkill from a power standpoint or creating a CG issue.
