I still use Latex rubber padding left over from the discrete components in electronics days.
Krproton,
Which spinner do you have on your plane? What rpm are you getting with that prop?

Thanks thevirginian.
There is a thick film of RTV silicone rubber on the bottom of the ignition box and the plywood mount to absorb vibration. This has been working for last flying season and this season so far. Do you think this is sufficient?
Hi Krazee. It's a pre cut Mejslik carbon fiber spinner. I have the same one on my Edge too (only it's larger). It's a nice piece, but had I known the prop cutouts would be so large I would have done it my self (but it still looks good). Sorry, I don't know the RPM I'm getting. It's a 20 x 10. I'll be flying this weekend, so if I remember I'll try to get a reading for you and let you know later. The thing runs real swell though!
+1 on the Ultracopper RTV for me (I think it's even in the background of one of my previous photos!). I always "polish" the mating parts of the muffler and engine port with oil and 400-grit, then thoroughly clean with denatured alcohol. Just a fine film of RTV on both parts, then bolt it together.
