Best FT Plane to match Motor/Prop combo

Hi all,
First sorry if I am in the wrong forum. I'll admit it. I'm a noob. I have tried a few FT planes with no success. I tried designing my own plane... It was a flop. Now I am hoping that I can get some help as to which plane to attempt next. And if possible I would like to use some of my futaba servos which are ~3/4" by ~1 1/2" base footprint. Here is my motor prop combo: Turnigy NTM prop drive motor 2830 800kv 270 watt and 9x5 props. I am running it with a 1500mah 3s(20c) lipo and a 20 amp afro esc. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Welcome to the forum! Either the Simple soarer or Spitfire would like that combo, though I might go to a 10x6 prop with the 800v motor.

If you're new to flying, I'd go with the Spitfire, just reduce the elevator throw to about 15 degrees. It's a really sweet flier, and has fewer quirks than the simple soarer.

Just find a field with High grass, it really does help!
