Default RE: Vibration Problems Caused by Gas Power

Thanks for all the comments, but I'm still looking for an answer to my questions. What is it about gas engines that creates undesirable vibrations? Most glow engines are also single cylinder, prone to the same shaking forces.

The second part related to iso mounts. My question was how do I know if I'm helping if an iso mount is used. Placing accelerometers on the plane is not the answer I want. As a hobbyist, I'm looking for simple solutions. I work with a crew that makes a career assignment of measuring accelerations, etc. That's not acceptable here. The collective comments of what makes good sense, and has worked would be welcome.
