OS 46 IsoSmooth mount rubber crumbled
It's been many years since I've flown RC aircraft. I have a Nexstar Select .46 that I used to fly a lot. It's been sitting out in my shop for some time. I went out today and decided I would like to get back into it again. First things first, the carb was stuck. I managed to get that freed up but I had to take the engine off to get it worked free. When I took the engine off, the rubber isolators from the IsoSmooth engine mount just crumbled. I can't locate replacements anywhere. Can I just hard mount the engine using straps (I think I have some) or is that a bad idea? Other than that, I know I need new TX an RX batteries. I haven't tried starting the engine since I don't have it mounted yet.
