I am looking for advice on how to mount my APM2 board.
I plan to first put it on a Bixler with a Bixler-electronics chassis purchased from the DIY-Drones Store and then later on a Tri or Quad copter.
In looking around I think people are using foam tape because I believe that reduces vibration. My natural tendency (though I believe wrong in this case) is to use plastic spacers with nuts and bolts on the four corners via the holes directly to the plastic/fiberglass.
What are you using and how does it work?
How about 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/4" Neoprene double sided adhesive foam tape here?
McMaster-Carr is a little pricey sometimes but they are very fast (next day no extra charge for me) and reliable so I like using them.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Jonathan, Zach, Thanks for the posts.
I use 3 nylon screws onto my case, although that is taped onto the airframe with double sided tape. kinda the best of both worlds. imho
--edit
My apologies that is for a APM1 but should work in any case
