Troy, It sounds like you've done your homework on this subject. Let me play devil's advocate for a second. Up until 15(ish) years ago most people had never heard of rubber isolation mounts for their engines. Was there that much more crashing due to servos draining the batteries (that weren't as good as todays) than there is today? I used to fly a lot and have never had, to my knowledge, a crash caused by vibration related issues. I'm not argueing, just trying to get this straight in my own head. I certainly want to take precautions so as to not unduely risk my planes but is a $200 mount really necessary?
thanks again,
Tom
