Default Soft Motor Mount for a 3W Twin

A good friend of mine is in a small business with a new airplane called the Geobat. It looks basically like a spaceship. He has had smaller models and work fine but the new bigger model powered by a 3W 54 Twin I believe is all Carbon Fiber airframe. On the first flight the motor mount failed and the engine held on but messed up the airframe a lot. He lost all controlled of the plane but it still landed safely He ask me to post to see if there were any good soft mounts out to kill vibration. They already have beef it up a lot more. This is a pusher plane by the way. Will try to get pics of a similar plane later.

The Hyde mounts are expensive....but from all accounts they are worth the money....expect to pay ..I think it is near 280.00.

Google Hyde Soft Mounts. I couldn't find any that expensive and yes they are apparently still available. Central Hobbies has them. BUT, I didn't see any for larger engines, just pattern stuff. I remember seeing soft mounts for large engines at one time.

Maybe I'll have time to look into it later.
