Where to find a big ARF or Kit Zero

I'm thinking of building a larger type A6M5 Zero Sen. Say in the size that would take a 100 engine or maybe even a 1.20 4 stroke. Any recommendations or leads?

Go for the full version. Just the ability to modify engines alone is worth the extra $. Plus if you are ever into heli's the ability to set all of the parameters unique to them is invaluable.
