Default Need suggestions

I have a friend that isn't shy about spending some bucks to have something a little different at the field. That being said it was suggested to me the other day that he really wants a radial engine and left it to me to come up with the airplane to mate it to.

The engine(s) are the Technopower line and can be seen at:

http://www.technopower.com

My dilemma is.....just what should I hang one of these beasts on? I'm thinking a warbird but that doesn't leave many choices except the At-6, F4U etc.

And FWIW I simply don't have the time to buld a kit for this project so it has to be either an ARF or built by someone professional.

Any idea's??

Too bad you a married to the Technopower line. The RCS 215 radial is an excellent engine with tremendous power and relaibility. It also burns gas, not glow fuel. Mated to the RCS 1/3 scale Waco and you have a partnership made in heaven. I've worked on one for an individual and seen it fly. WOW!! What a plane.
