Engine vibration’s influence to Pixhawk

Hi,

I plan to use 3DR’s Pixhawk in the new gasoline engine (120cc) powered conventional fixed wing commercial UAV we will produce. I realize that Pixhawk is mostly used in the electrical motor powered small aircraft. Even though there’s a Pixhawk anti-vibration damper set with rubber ball (http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Printed-Pixhawk-PIX-Flight-Controller-Anti-vibration-Damper-Set-with-Rubber-l-/251691016928) being used, Pixhawk may still can’t suffer from too strong vibration.

 

Regarding this may I ask questions as below?

 

1)       Is there any way to quantify Pixhawk can suffer from how strong vibrations? Is there any existing data on that? What would be your considerations regarding the vibration?

2)       Has anyone once used Pixhawk on an engine power UAV? Does everything go well with it?

3)       If the vibration exceeds a certain level, what problems will Pixhawk get?

Best regards and thanks,

Anna
