I REALLY appreciate all the input. Getting a broad spectrum of experiential advice is a lot more helpful than just local anecdotal comments.

Now for the future: assuming I've suffered vibration damage to multiple receivers : how best to protect a receiver in a giant gasser? What I'm doing now is a double wrap of 1/2" foam in a plastic baggie which is firmly fixed (not suspended) in the fuselage. Is that good enough?

Also: How to contact this "Radio South" ?

Thanks,
