Phil,
"and because I wanted to taste bugs again" Ahhh, the most important reason 
How are you going to mount the MZ201?

Absolutely. You aren't really flying unless you're eatin' bugs.
I plan to mount the mz201 upright with the belt reduc down. The bolt pattern is 102 sts (side-to-side) x 202 ftb (front-to-back). I don't have the Rotax 447 and 503 sts dimensions, but ftb looks to be 143 and 153, respectively.
201 102mm x 202mm
447 ???mm x 143mm
503 ???mm x 153mm
I also really hope I'm able to hang the muffler down in between the aileron pushpull rods, similar to the way this gentlemen did. I don't know where I got this pic, but I really like the idea!

I've yet to determine where to align the reduc, but I'm certainly going to attempt a left-of-center PTO. Jack Hart goes into a great discussion on P-factor, trimming, and offset thrust by moving the PTO left-of-center by rotating the reduc to the 305, 270 and 235 degree positions (roughly 10:30, 9:00 and 7:30 positions), here:

Jack, if you're listening, please chime in!

Phil,
I am used to the MZ-34 with the mount in back. Sorry about that. I see that the 201 is "normal": http://www.compactengines.com/MZ-201-lite1.jpg

If any of you feel incipient confusion, git yersef a copy of "Stick and Rudder", unless you have one already. GOOD explanations of alla this, as I recall. Not that you need it... I came into the discussion a few days late, sounds settled already.
