Default Have a new G-38, now what?

I went to the local hobby shop yesterday. There was this lonely Zenoah G-38 sitting there. So I took it home with me. Now the fun starts. I want suggestions for a plane for this motor.

What I don't want:
A difficult to fly plane, I am not the best flier in the world.
No foam core wings. I don't want to bother with them.
No Lazer's, extra,s ect, They just are not my cup of tea.

What I want is:
A kit or a plan it does not matter.
A scale plane if possible.
Something around an 80" span more or less.

I am a decent builder so plans do not scare me. I have done several from plans. I am looking at Ryan's rebel and 2 Ziroli designs. The small P-47 and the small Stearman. I kinda like the Stearman.

Any suggestions would be welcomed and appreciated.

Funny you should mention those two Ziroli designs. They are the two I was going to suggest.

How about a 1/3 scale Spacewalker. That would be a good combination.

Here's what my G38 is in. It's a 1/4 scale 100" Chipmunk from Mike Smart plans that I got through Bob Holman. The G38 hauls it around just great! Plane weight is about 20#.

Thanks for the replys fellas. Tmoth that Chippie really looks nice. I have thought many times about the Goldberg kit. Maybe this one will be much better. Just one question, one piece wing or is it plug in's? I am kinda limited to around 80 inches because of my building board. Let me know.

Keep the ideas coming. The more info the better I can make the decision. I am not real familiar with gas planes. This is the first one. Thanks in advance for your help.
