I'm building an OMP 10-300 Ultimate kit and am concerned about the engine mount. I plan to use a YS-110 that I purchased with an OMP Fusion90. The Fusion90 ARF fell apart due to engine vibration after only about 200 flights.

My questions are two. First, how might I install a Hyde mount in a profile fuselage to protect the model from vibration damage? Second, What other engine with less vibration tendencies would work well in this toy (maybe one with a pipe to direct exhaust residue away from the model)? (If I get another engine, then I can get a pattern ARF like the Focus Sport for the YS-110.)

An ARF falling apart is one thing; but considering the efforts related to kit building, a short lived kit would not make me happy. I'm just about ready to glue the fuselage sandwich together, and want to make any adjustments that I might need to make the engine mount area stronger. (Now I must note that the 10-300 fuselage does have a front-end ply doubler that was not on the Fusion90. So, it might be strong enough to support the YS-110.)

Thanks for your constructive suggestions, Glover


PS I've never seen a Hyde mount; and except for the afore mentioned YS-110 and a YS-63 in a FusionX3D, I have no glow engine experience.
