Hmm...It's been my understanding that running the engine on a test stand can cause this due to the stand being too rigid...Harmonics set in and can cause what happened...Seems like I've seen in several places that you want a certain amount of ''give'' in the mount but NOT spring...Did any of you notice the mount ''springing'' around at various throttle settings???...It seems that the right amount of dampening is when the engine is mounted to the plane and run with the wings in place...

My DLE 111 is a HOSS!!!!

What do you all think???

Disagree.
