Default TF P47 Engine Selection Question

Hi All-

I've searched through the various TF Gold Edition P47 threads and really haven't seen much about engine selection. First, let me say that I will be going gas and not glow. I have seen a few comments about using a DLE 20 and a few others about a Zenoah G26.

My questions are:

I would like to go with a G26, magnetobut it does not look like it will fit in the cowl without major surgery. Has anyone done this? And how did it fit? I am using a Fiberglass Specialties cowl.

I personally do not care for a DLE 20, would prefer a DLE 30 but that sounds like too much power. Does the DLE 20 fit OK? Any significant cutting required?

Any other thoughts or suggestions on the gas side?

Thanks-
Larry
