Probably a little big for the 61. What motor are we talking here?

You could do the 107" one. It would be an animal with a GP 61.

I had the Pilot 107" Decathlon with a DA50 and it was a lot of fun to fly, that 61 might be a little much for it, you might want to ask around to see if anyone's put a 61 in the 107" version

Rusty has a Skywolf with a DLE55RA. I haven't flown it (YET lol) but I saw Colton fly it at HOW and it looked like it was a blast. I understand the engine install with the 55RA was kind of a challenge though. Would be bananas with a 61. It's a great looking plane, looks to me like a cross between a Cessna 172 and a Maule.
If I was going with a Decathlon I'd do the 122". Those GP's are strong after a little break in.
