Really nice work there,, FWIW, locally here I have been flying the LA 46 with an APC 11.5 x 4 prop and loving it. With regards the tank mount, thats the same way I do it, except I went to the local hardware store and got some neoprene washers from the hardware selection bins, they are about 3/4" in diameter,, I hotstuff one under each mount location, then I use nylon washwers over the mount plate, I feel it gives a bit of dampening for vibration and it gets a nice "bite" so that the mount isnt as likely to slip. side benefit, it makes it nicer to adjust, you can loosen the bolts and slip it while it has a bit of tension still so that it moves more precisely,,, Just my experience
