Default Dynaflite Super Decathlon and G-38 question.

Well, not so much a question as a request.

I'm in the process of building the Dynaflite Super Decathlon, and planning to put a Zenoah G-38 on it. I've read as many threads as I can find here on RCU, including the current build thread that's going [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=4082993]Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon [/link] . But haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm close to finishing up the wing panels and will be starting the fuselage soon. I haven't been able to find any pictures of the Zenoah G-38 mounted on the plane. I'm going to use the Bisson Pitts muffler on the motor. When I look at the plans and do measuring of the cowl and engine area I'm not quite sure how to modify the mount to get this all in. I know that a lot of people here on RCU have the G-38 on this plane (in fact it was posts from lots of members that helped me decide to use the G-38).

If possible can I get some pictures of how everybody using the plane/motor combo have mounted it to the firewall? I'm especially interested in how the muffler fits because it mounts on the backside of the motor's head.

Huge thanks in advance for any help I can get on this.
