RE: Viper Thottle Servo Placement
Ok, the same terminology is used regarding engine mounting, so I take it that it's legal to tape the engine on as well? I really don't care regarding the throttle servo, but it is the way I read the rule.
Actually here's a rule that many people have failed to adhear to, even myself.....
Section 8, paragraph C. "The radio receiver and battery pack shall be surrounded by soft foam rubber or other vibration-dampening material and adequately protected against contamination by engine exhaust, raw fuel, or fuel residue."
Since going to FASST 2.4Ghz receivers, I've been servo taping 1/4" foam to the receiver and then attaching it to the fuse side with velcro. The rule states it "shall be surrounded by soft foam rubber....." Mine haven't been "surrounded", they've just had the foam between them and the fuse structure.
