Default Serious Ultimate Bipe withdrawl

Ok I made a mistake and sold my CG Ultimate with a YS110 on it . Shoot me now, go ahead (you have to love bipes to understand this)

I thought I would not miss it much but I am going through serious biplane withdrawl here. [sm=bananahead.gif]

I need a little input from everyone.

I want to go with another Ultimate. Here is what I am thinking about

10-300 Ultimate (Maker to be determined)
Small gas engine (ZDZ, RCS140 or 180 or Ralph Cunningham's converted Zenoah) or any others that anyone wants to suggest
Hitech 5645 digitals or other suggestions but I am pretty sold on these.

I would like opinions on which model and engine would you use. The final decision will be mine on which model and engine but it will defintely be gas not glow. Decision decisions[&:]

I was also looking at the Standard Pitts by Cermark or CG Pitts Monster and even the GP Stearman.

IMAC and intermediate 3D will be flown with the plane and the radio is a JR9303

My total budget for this project is roughly 1000 to 1200 dollars and that includes plane, engine, servos, extensions yada yada yada. Cheaper is always better as far as price is concerned. I do work at the LHS so things like servos extensions and such I can get pretty cheap.

So let me here it, tell me how dumb I was and then tell me what you would recommend. don't be shy, I can take it

BTW... no kits, only ARF's please

EDITED: for really bad spelling
