Stevo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Is that for an engine test bed or in an aircaft? Discuss: are there any advantage to Aluminium mounts,over the nylon filled type? I use excluseively 4s engines so I do guess that the Nylon type may provide some damping, I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Tye Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 The Nylon as you point out do provide damping i just prefer Aluminium.. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think from my engineering perspective, I concur. I think I would use them with RawlNuts for some damping too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I always use adjustable aluminium engine mounts these days. From my engineering perspective, Nylon mounts are just springy without damping IMHO.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tye Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I prefer the Aluminium type also, I'v ordered some from the first link anyway plus some props.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
