Gas engines shake more than the little nitro engine, for that reason it's not considered a good practice to run them on a test stand. You would be better off mounting it in your plane and running it, they are much cleaner running so you wont end up with a big mess. It's good practice to put the wings on for you engine runs they help dampen the vibrations.

Oooops. Sorry... I guess there is some censorship going on. Where the " **** " appears, insert GlyingFiants.com with the "F" and "G" transposed.

Status: offline 		I use a fuselage from a crash , seated in the flight box. It simulates a model, ie, it is not rigid, allowing model like movement while running engine. It allows reciever, servo and switch mounting, etc. Futaba says use an FM reciever for setup, not a PCM which will mask ignition caused glitches.
