Default RE: I need your help on VIibration

Hey guy's thanks for your replies, I'm feeling a little better already. It seems funny that there are so many doing this if the end result is a messed up aircraft. I would appreciate info on which engines are best and why so as not to make the famous beginners mistakes.

I'm lucky to have a friend who is a helper in a machine shop ( they are training him) and they let us go in after hours and use the lathe's, we even so far get free material from there scrap bin, pretty cool.

I bought one of the weedeater conversion kit's off eBay and notice the four screw hole's on the rear casing that you would use for the motor mounts are a course self tapping thread. The ones in kit are a finer machine thread but about the same diameter. Are you sopposed to re-thread these holes? It does not seem like there is enough metal left.
Thanks for your replies. Best Ron
