Found a thread on RC Groups that looked interesting and built the Sky Ray (version 4). Made it swappable, with the only challenge needing extensions for the esc to get more weight up front.
Maiden was this past weekend and it flew beautifully! It is a larger plane as compared to a FT22 which is the only other flat wing FT model that I can think of. However, I used the same motor - turnigy d2826/6 with a 3s 2200 battery and there was plenty of power, at least for my flying style.

(Several other models exist in this thread, plans are on the first page). Kudos to Lockey on RC Groups for the design.
Finished plane:
