Default RE: Piedmont motor mount question?

All Servos were at neutral just the same as when the motor was not running. No stick movement on the TX.

And yes those are the effects of vibration on the system. This is why I believe in the use a good vibration damping motor mount on my models.

And I feel that today the only mount to really use is the Hyde. It costs more but in reality you have to ask yourself a question.

IS MY MODEL WORTH IT?

5 Digital Servos --$400
5 High performance Analog servos $300
PCM RX --$150
Airframe --$800-$3000 depending on the model
Header $20-50
Pipe $80-200

How many hours to build-trim-and repair the model, not to mention lost practice time for repairs??????

How much is it all worth to you?

I may get blasted for my opinion on this issue...but I have been there and done that too many times. I have seen other wriggle and fight with the issues, and I know for a fact what that is worth to me!
