Default engine mounting

I am starting my first kit [ARF]. I want to use a Saito 100 which will be mounted under a cowl. Could anyone direct me to a source where I could:

Get help in deciding whether to mount it upright,sideways,upside down and
How to do the actual mounting.

This plane has a removable fire wall called a power module.

All sugestions would be appreciated

Which kit is it? I would mount it either upright or sideways. I don't like them mounted upside down. Thats just a personal pref though.

I'm no expert by a long shot, but it looks like it lends itself to a side or inverted mounting. What do the rest of you think?

If you decide to mount the engine at a 45 degree angle down, then the muffler will exit straight out the bottom. It makes for a little less mess to clean up on the airplane!
