Default Engine mountin

Just wondered what most people are doing for mounting their gas engines to the firewall. Either bolted in directly or some kind of rubber "soft?" mount.

try and get a hold of a copy of September '98 issue of Model Airplane News. Greg Hahn wrote a very interesting article MULTI-ENGINE SETUP TECHNIQUES
Engines on a multi should be mounted direct to the firewall. Soft mounts are great for singles but detrimental and distructive on a multi.

Thanks for the info. Luckily I did mount them solidly to the firewall.
