Have started to fit the starter bits to my DLE-111 on the 1/3 Pawnee.
I am going to have to rotate the mounting 180 degrees otherwise the motor will protrude through the top of the cowl. In order to do this the bracket that bolts to the engine case will need to use the lower bolts either side of the carby housing, I will have to split the bracket but should still work fine.

Will be using an opto kill switch to trigger two 6V auto relays that in turn pass the current from the lipo to the ESC. This way the lipo is fully isolated from the ESC when the starter is not in use.
Photo is my trial fit of the bits.
