Default Servo mounting?

Do you use the rubber grommets when you mount your sevros or do you screw them down tight for that extra bit of precision?

I always use the grommets -- they provide some vibration isolation.

the only time I don't use the grommets is on my Trex with micro servos... and on foamies (but I glue them in)

everything else gets grommets

The extra precision only lasts until your servo dies due to vibration.
