Default RE: Reducing Cowl vibration


ORIGINAL: jayc73

I have goldberg edge 540 and I'm trying to find a scheme to mount the cowl so vibration is reduced. I have always had problems trying to keep the holes in the cowl from enlarging from vibration in my other glow airplanes. I want to do this one right ANY IDEAS?

Just a thought. Could you enlarge the holes in your cowl enough to insert short sections of small size silicone fuel tubing, insert a screw through the tubing and hope the fuel tubing mushroomed out enough to secure the cowl? You could test it on a scrap of something. An electrical supply store may have various size rubber gromets to feed wire through a sheet metal electrical chassis also.
