I have a Sukhoi 31 68", useing a S.P.E.C 26CC There's nothing wrong with the engine however im getting vibration and would like to dampen it down some, are there any shock mounts for that engine? I cant seem to find any. Or any suggestion would be appreciate, My prop and spinner are balanced,this is my first gas plane,maybe im just overcautious. Thanks
all of my gas engines have rubber mounts even have the G26 with them . saves a lot of vibration thru the F/wall & airframe & also the radio . Basically I put a piece of 3/16 alum plate on the back of eng rear of the muffler , bolted to the eng; the plate is aprox 4" sq on the G26 & has 4 rubber s a pair on each corner -total 8 rubbers , a 1/4 " or 6 mm bolt goes thru the rubbers into blind nuts in the f/wall . lock wire is connected thru the bolts to make sure they don't loosen .
