Default Airframe Decision...

Yes... It's another boring "What Should I Buy???" question... from someone doing it on a budget... Sorry guys!

Yes I'd LOVE to go gas, yes I'd love to order an EF 88" in the Russian Thunder scheme... but I havn't got the money, the storage space or a big enough car to transport one.... I have a good engine, and figure I just need the right airframe to put it in.

I've already posted a similar question in the 'Aussie' part of the forum, but wanted to open it up to discussion here. No popcorn bans here... eat as much as you like! LOL

My history...
Trainer (Never Crashed)
Cub (Still Alive)
Pulse XT40 (Still Alive)
Funtana X100 (Still Alive but in the UK... I moved to Australia)
Phoenix Yak (Dead...whoopsy)
PA Extra 260 #1 (Dead... whoopsy)....
PA Extra 260 #2 (Still Alive)....

So got the hang of some basic 3D moves on the extra/funtana... and of course hundreds of hours of flights on RealFlight G4.5 (If only I could get a REAL model that acts exactly like the stock Yak... I'd be a huckin' legend! )

So I already have a JR2720, RX, and 120 Four Stroker... Still got standard servos, but would be happy to replace these.

What do I put it in? Been looking at the Peakmodel/EastRC 70" Yak... there is a vid on youtube of a guy with a Saito 125 in one... is it too much to ask that my SC 120 (a bit heavier than the saito) would be enough to give it some go-juice?

Other options... Seagull Yak (New black and yellow scheme is pretty nice!), Aeroworks 60-90 or 90-120 yak?

Any other 90-120 size craft that would suit this engine?? Not after TOTAL UNLIMITED performance, but if it would hover with a bit of pullout that would be nice!

One other thing... has to be scale... Profiles, and fun-fly 3D things just don't turn me on!
