RE: Engine Vibrations
The first thing to check is make sure all of the engine mounting screws are tight. Next, check the balance of the prop and spinner if you use one. Large props usually require a certain amount of balancing. You also need to balance the tips, and the hub. You may have to use a heavy duty unit such as the Robart or Dubro, but if you take the time, you can greatly improve your vibration situation.
