Again this is as soon as I load into quick mission so It cant be from prior mistakes and engine wear.

im a total noob at this, so take that into account.

i had the same problem as you in the 109, bad shaking and damaged engines. ive found that if you keep your ata high when you run at high rpms, you can eliminate the problem. you do this by managing your pitch and throttle settings. conversly, if you want to run at a lower rpm, lets say to cool your engine. you lower rpm by using prop pitch, and lower your ata using your throttle.

i started watching my ata and kept it high whenever i was running high rpms and lowered it when i was at low rpms and my problem with shaking and damaged engines went away.

i hope this helps.
