Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Reply to : Lisa/M Aspirin IMU Vibration Problems

Chris,

Unfortunately our aircraft is on the order of 100 grams and the
fuselage is only about 1 cm deep with the area of a credit card which
makes room for large mass and large size hard to come by. I think for
now I might try and mount it on the outside of the aircraft using
Christophe's method of four 4x4x10 mm pieces of packing-foam on the 4
corners of Lisa/M. But the best solution would be to check and see if
the props and motor is balanced and then isolating it with rubber
washers maybe.
