Default Fair DR1 thrust angles/mounting

Bill,

That looks like agood idea,ive had a quick look at the du-pro soft mount,but the one available was for an 80 4 st,but with a price tag of 30 pounds,here in the uk,so going by that a larger version will be alittle more,going by that,it seems to be an expensive bit of kit!!!.then ive still got to mount it 3 degrees
down!!
Maybe,i could isolate the engine,by placing some rubber material,under the engine lugs,or under ply plate,before screwing down ,to absorb some of the vibration,or something like that!!!,im no scientist!!!,maybe some other ideas might spring to mind

Just for the record,what can go wrong,with excess vibration to airframe,joints are one point in question if weak,the radio gear if poorly insulated is another,sure there are other areas?

Thanks Bill for past posts,all very intreasting

Cheers
