Default hooking up a engine with CDI Ignition

Ok I am still working on putting my 1st engine with cdi Ignition in my plane.. I have a 3w and the book said that I should use a solid metal rod for the throttle. I have read that you should not do that with CDI ignition engines. It can give you interferrence to your radio.. I would just like to ask what are other people doing for a throttle.

I got this engine without a switch for it. What is a good switch that I can put on the modual and the battery for the CDI ignition.. Will a switch like the one on the RX work as well or do I need to get a special one.

I also need to know where to put the modual. That is going to be the hard part. the plane I am putting it on is a midwest extra 300s. I was going to put it under the engine box but the muffler will be right there.. I think it will get too hot there... If I put it inside the plane will I have interferrence with the radio?

All and any info would be great.
Thanks

Paul
