RE: Test Stand
Just a word of caution. The B&D work bench is kinda light. Be sure to put a big cinder block or even a bucket of water on the bottom step to make sure you have enough blast to take the engine thrust. BTW that is what I use too. My breakin stand is simple, Ihave a trainer type engine mount bolted on to a 2/4 inch piece of plywood. I have a another piece "teed" into that piece and use it for mount tanks. I then use an old control rod as a throttle link. It is simple but it works and it certainly is not a pretty as the above equipment. But then it cost me about $5 in materials and used glue that I use on the models to put it together. Oh yeah, I gave it a good coat of polyurethan varnish to protect it from the hot glow fuel.
