A picture worth a thousand words.

Ken, without see what you're fixing, try some fiberglass and epoxy to reinforce both. But as Joe suggests, you might want to post a picture so we know what plane, what part & materials you're on about.

im using iphone possibly cant upload the pics... epoxy n fiberglass been using that but the motor will vibrate at full throttle... will give way n have to epoxy again n again...

NPNT,

But have you checked your motor? Vibration doesn't often come from the motor mount as much as it does from the motor.

hmmm

try checking yr motor shaft for any bend or try changing a new prop. might not be balanced.

yup all tested.. no probs... the main reason is the fuselage... well ive already bought a new plane n have put the spoilt one in the store room already... need to have some ideas on how to reinforced but might take a while...

why not use the steel motor mounts from jet hobby? u can screw the thing into the ply wood and it will surely hold.
