Default Plane for OS 160-FT

Hey guys, I have an OS 160-FT twin that needs a home. I was thinking about a stick type plane or just general sport plane, but the few I have seen are discontinued. What would be a good plane for this engine? It runs great and swings a 18-6 at 7k.

The Gret Planes Giant Big Stick would be OK

A 1/4 scale CUB would be perfect. maybe a bit overpowered but you do have a throttle. 7K on a 18x6 is not very good. My old OS FT120 (the original OS twin) will turn an 18x6 about 8K

The 7k was on the test stand running plenty rich. To tell the truth, it was too cold outside to needle it with gloves on.....I only ran it once. In my search I found this: http://www.nitroplanes.com/aezlzen12070.html . This should work right? I hope so cause I ordered one!

Keep in mind that this is a very competitively priced ARF with genuine picture instructions and Chinese wording. You will most likely want to substitute your own hardware.

Oh, I definately expect some fixin' before flyin' with this one! But I just wonder if the size is compatible with the 160 twin.
