Default Plane suggestion

I just bought an OS GT15 gasser, what's a good above wing plane that will accommodate this motor power wise.
Suggestions anyone? I'd prefer a tail dragger.
Suggestions anyone? TAZZZZ

Any .60 size sport or scale plane I guess? That engine makes about the same power at the same RPM as a .90 4 stroke, so you have a very wide selection of planes to use it with. A .60 size Cub would fly well with it.

How about the big stick 60? Seems like that would be compatible. Thx. TAZZZZ. Has anyone made the big stick a tail dragger?

All the Stiks I've had I converted them to a tail dragger.

If you are going with the GP Stik make sure you add wood inside to reinforce the vertical stab before you glue it in and follow-up with some triangle stock on the outside. Also you can add a block of plywood to the inside to mount the tail wheel bracket.
