<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt">Hey guys - I heard all the issues, too, and was very skeptical of buying the side mount. I went with it for my prototype Sbach 342, and I have to say, It has been 100% problem free. I didn't ever start it, idle it and pick it up and tilt it just to see, but I started flying it up high in any maneuver and position with no problems So after 2 flights I brought it to the deck.

I'll upload some video of it later tonight (a quick one, ... a longer better video will be up soon).

Anyway - for those of you who have a side mount, don't sweat it. Really! If you want to change go for it, but I have to agree with T.O.M response. Maybe there were a few that had some legitimate problems though, who knows.<o></o></span></p>
