I've got a couple of gassers w/ electronic ignition. One, a DA-50R I have foam behind the modual and it is zip tied against that foam. Another, an Evolution 26GT, I have wraped and packed in foam for the same reason you state. The pick up is so short and up under the gas tank is the only place I could put it.
I have a Rascal 110 with a Nitro guzzling OS 1.60 on it. I am very curious as to what gas engine you have selected for this plane????
I assembled a couple of them for people and they used the RC Showcase 1.40 22cc gasser for them. The rear induction carb is a pain to set up linkage for!! One fellow I fly with today set one up with the CRRC 26cc and that was a very good choice. I'm starting to really like some of these engines from China, very light weight and smooth running.
