Default Nitro biplane

I have a Webra .61 from the1990s that is mint, and has only been run a few times. I'm looking for a .50 to .60 biplane kit or ARF. Any suggestions?
PS
I live at 4200 feet elevation, so a .50 size plane would be best (need more power for the higher elevation)

those are both .46 planes. I live at 6200 feet and here you can fly any 60 plane with any 60 engine.

A GP Super Skybolt would be the perfect biplane for that engine:

Good enough. Too many people look at a Pitts and think it's so cool they pick one up for a second plane after there trainer.

Ditto on the Super Skybolt. I've been flying one for a year or so. Great flying bipe. I am powering mine with an OS 75 ax.
