A 3300 on an S6S? Isn't that a bit of overkill?
I thought Coyotes can make do with a Rotax 582 (60 HP or so?)
and are very happy with a 80 HP Rotax 912
So if Jabiru it must be I would rather expect a 2200?

PS if I may be a bit curious:
Where are you building?
Or more precisely where will the bird fly from?
Are you using the standard wing or the smaller 'speed' wing?

KA from just South...
