Hi

I was showing my graupner extra 300 to some of the guys, and I showed them how flexible the engine mount was, by yanking it around by the spinner. It moves quite a bit, about 5mm in any direction.

Its simply the nylon/teflon or hatever it is made from that flexes.


Well, they told me that I was loosing power due to this.
Is that true ?
Would it be better to install a more ridgit engine mount ?
why do poeple use use rubber dampened mounts, if the engine looses power ?


What is your experiance?
