Default Ignition Module Placement

I've got the bug to start working on my Bud Nosen 1/4 scale Citabria again and so today I mounted a CRRC 40 on it, inverted. I'm new to gas and was looking for advice on the ignition placement. Originally I was thinking of the back of the firewall but I found that it fits on the front of the firewall directly behind the crankshaft with about a millimeter to spare on each side between it and the aluminum stand offs and about 3/4 of a inch from the back of the crankcase. Would this be a good place to mount it? Would engine heat be a problem? My understanding was the farther from the radio the better. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
