Default Extra engine, what plane

I have an extra engine and am looking for an ARF. I have a Funtana for 3d, an F-20 for speed and a low wing trainer for sport. I would like something unique that not everyone else has. I was thinking of a Gee Bee, but the only ARF I can find is the Z and I would prefer an R2. I was also thinking of a warbird (P-51), but I really do not want to get into retracts yet (unless someone can convince me otherwise). I actually have 2 engines, an Irvine 53 and an OS 46FX. I guess what I am asking is, if you would recommend one plane to someone, which one would it be and why? Thanks in advance for any input.

Default RE: Extra engine, what plane

You certainly have the engines That irvine would work well in the VAN RV-4 or the Jodel
VMAR makes these Richmond RC has them they both have flaps the jodel a 2pc D tube wing
One of the Aussies just posted on the jodel I have just bought the RV-4 trying to decide to
put in my irvine 53 (have 3 of them) or one of my 52 4 strks.Both of these are not run of the mill
