I built this one from materials I had on hand. Red oak and Brazilian Walnut (Ipé
, and 3/16" aluminum for the engine clamps. Some 1/4-20 bolts clamp the engine down. Handles whatever size engine I can stick on it. I've had .29 up to .90's on mine.
I used a couple spare servo horns, a few drywall screws, 4-40 threaded rods, and a strip of 3/32" aluminum for a throttle linkage. The fuel tank platform can be raised or lowered.
Took me about an hour to cut all the pieces and another day or so to put a few coats of finish on it. The only engine I cant run on it is my small frame Fox .40. The drop down muffler hits the engine clamp.
Yeah I hve had that problem with some mufflers on the engines too. I bought a few muffler extensions and that allowed me to test run the Fox engines like that.
Fox Eagle IV .60 engine for example:
