Default RE: Dubro Vibe Reduction Mounts

Just got back from the field. The plane handles much better now. I still can see a bit of cock off to the right just before the engine gets up to full RPM. Before, it was an imeadiate snap to the right and a much higher magnatude movement.

What I may do is to cut some shims and put over the bushings and stiffen the mounts a bit for front to aft movement. that should remove all of the twist. A nose ring just isn't practicatal on this plane, is has an engine setup like a stick, everyting in the open. Actually it isn't bad now the way it is. I have to be in the top 10% of the RPM range before it kicks and that is in a static setup. My guess is that there will be no movement in the air.

Humm, My son got me a FlyCam2 for fathers day and I haven't mounted it yet. Maybe a shot out over the prop from the cockpit would show if I am still having a problem that I can't see.
