Default Engine test stand

I like your test stands. Of the two throttle setups do you have a preference for testing the larger gasser? It looks like the strap version could be secured under on of the flange bolts on the big stand? Is there a reason for choosing that 2nd method?

Do you do any radio testing of the throttle servo while it is on the stand? Thought I would spot a non-metallic link in the cable wire, or is that only necessary for in-plane application?

My present thought is to mount the vertical pipe to a couple welded to a plate which I can bolt thru the lug bolt holes on a rim with the tire mounted for added weight and resistance. That would make it portable even in the car to the field.

Wished I had more tools
mikenlapaz where is Lincoln?
