Anti-Vibration Tape

I know this isn't technically "anti-vibration tape" but I happened to have a lot of dual-lock velcro for general attachment of things. So on our tricopter build I tested out using it as vibration isolation on a Pixhawk FC (GPS happens to be M8N). Each side attaches with a layer of foam, and the "lock" portion has a bit of give as well. I realize this is highly unscientific, but the tri is rock solid in the sky.

This has the benefit of being removable if you need to.

I am also testing Kyosho Zeal on a hex, cut into two rectangular strips. I know there are generic alternatives too, I just haven't found them yet and this isn't terribly expensive for what it is.

had a successful maiden flight with the Zeal-mounted Pixhawk hex last night. Still trying to figure out some unrelated things due to my use of opto-isolated ESC's, Pixhawk, and Taranis, but other than that the flight was nice and smooth in the air.

It was only a few minutes' quick test, so I will report back once I've tested further.
