Default RE: Vibration Issues

I am using a Tower 46 with an 11x5 Master Airscrew prop. On of our local club members with many years of RC experience thought that there was too much vibration, more than normal. I expect a little vibration, but I am a bit concerned that the wood tab that sticks out from the fuselage (to the left of the motor) keeps rattling and loosening. The rattling actually gets very loud (you can hear it rattle/vibrate in the air at a certain RPM). I used epoxy 30 to reinforce the glue joint on my first Escapade, and I suspect that I may need to do the same on my second Escapade.

I still fly both of my Escapades, and they fly very well despite the vibration. Neither engines have ever been involved in a crash.
