Default RE: airwild extra 260 29% who's got one?

I only have this a/c for about 4 months but the engine is already showing some damage to the front housing where the front bearing is. My DA50 was brandnew when installed on this airplane. The reason being that the engine box is too weak. Very often the engine will come loose because the engine box allows the engine to wiggle too much. One can tell by grapping the engine by the spinner and try to move it sideways, updown. I recommended that all owners should stiffen up the engine box to make it rigid. This destructive motion is the same as if you are using the softmount. If the front housing wears out too much, the whole engine crankcase will needs to be replaced and don't expect DA to honors the warranty.
