Default RE: Gas Engine mounts? ?

Well, thank you all for your input. The reason I asked this is I have.....(had) a
GSP Katana 140 with a Homelite 45 on it with Futaba servos S3010, and after
about 6 flights I devloped extreme flutter on the airlons. I was told it was
because the engine was not mounted with rubber and the vibration destroyed
the servos. I didn't notice any shaking on the ground ( except my knees ! ! )
but the servos have alot of play in them, I guess they just weren't strong
enough. Anybody have the same experience with these? The fuse is smashed
up to the canopy but the wings are o.k.!! Anyone need katana wings? I'll
throw in the servos!!!
