It is hard to find a suitable plane for a 170R. There are a few out there. But, not a lot.
I agree with you on that. It took me a while to find a good airframe for mine. I started with it in the TopFlite Staggerwing and it flew but power was marginal for a plane that heavy (21.5 lbs). I now have it in the Pacific Aeromodels Clipped Wing Monocoupe and it's a great match. Good power to weight ratio and a superb flyer. Here's a short vid of the engine running (I don't have any video of it flying yet).
