Default RE: Carl Goldberg Ultimate building tips needed!!!

I've posted this elsewhere but you guys have the Ultimate too so,

Engines:
I have a new Saito 120 for a Corsair that needs the nose weight bad!
I have a buddy selling some new (discontinued) YS engines:
YS 120 (non air chamber) $250 (I'm sure the others will be close to this price)
YS 120 AC
YS 91 AC
I'm just not sure which would give me the power to do any maneuvers it's capable of without the extra weight.
I could use the Saito on the Ultimate and save the YS choice for the Corsair unless someone thinks the YS would be better for the Ultimate.
I know the best choice would be the Saito 125 or the YS 110 but they are an extra $100 or more and I would have to wait and possibly miss the "Christmas giving spirit"

Covering:
I know I can do a great job with typical covering but I was thinking about painting it because of the endless possibilities and the ease of painting. I would rather mask and paint than cut and iron.

Guys, and maybe gals, could you post some more of your plane pictures. I thought about mounting the engine out of the bottom of the cowl but that would destroy the looks more than out the side but man would it stay cool.

Thanks, Tim.
