Easy-peasy, but having crashed a lot I don't think I had one crash where it would have helped.
What size plane/motor/size impact? |

Ask me why your DX5e is doomed... and how to fix it.

Build to fly, don't build to crash I heard someone say once.
 of course my planes all look like they went thru a meat grinder so your mileage may vary. Lol. As far as shock absorbing motor mounts. What kind of plane are we talking? |

I'd be worried about the motor mount moving under load. How big of a plane are we talking? A 2 or maybe even 3 cell, you should be able to use a prop adaptar and o rings.

motor mount
The motor is a ST 10 on a 39" profile plane. Saw a post a while back about a flexable motor mount and then read about the Bouncer having one also. Had an "incident" while flying a low knife edge, wing tip dragged just a little and propeled the motor into the ground. The mount was damaged enough that I just flew something else. My field repairs tend to be too hasty and not as good as I could have done at home. The post I saw used rubber bands and toothpicks but haven't been able to find it again
