Vibration issues?
I just ordered a APM 2.0 to put on my .46 trainer. Although I am concerned about vibrations being an issue with the IMU. Is this an issue at all? I have heard of using a sample Tempur-Pedic mattress foam to isolate the APM from the airframe. Does this work?Also, do you guys do anything to your engine mounts to dampen the vibrations? Thanks,Grant

I just Finished a few flights testing out Issues with vibration and haven't had anything terrible as far as results. I put rubber spacers from Lowe's in between the engine mount and the firewall. I also have a mount in work using 2 pieces of balsa separated by staggered felt and rubber washers and held together with nylon nuts and bolts. I will post my results in the next week or so, depending on weather allowance.
It is CMP model I got this one from HobbyKing USA store, $230 delivered to CO,
NitoPlanes has them for $199 & shiipping. Yellow Cubs available too.
How much did the ARF Model cost?
very nice! I love the drab green.
Sorry my bad, size is 2300mm, I wish I had a full size one!
Where did you get that kit? is it really 900"? or is that a typo... more like 230cm.
