I have the expensive Hyde mount in mine. It works fine, but for those $$$ it
should.
Bill Glaze has a Dave Brown fiber glass mount in his ($5?). His shakes a
little more, it uses a little more battery per flight. Since both of us are
wearing hearing aids, I won't comment on the noise. Both are using YS140FX
engines.

I feel the Hyde mounts are very beneficial to servo life. I just wish Merl
was not so proud of them!

BTW, those Great Planes adjustable mounts are very heavy!

I am really new to this.  What type of engine mount/nose ring combinations
can be used on the focus for a large 2 stroke?  Do I have to shell out the
$219 for the Hyde ARIA mount?  I need help with this.  I see the gator and
DB mounts but do they all require a nose ring?  Can I just get a good old
Great Planes enging mount and mount the engine rigid?  Thank all for
responding.  If you have any pictures of an engine setup like this it would
greatly help
