Default homemade stand

This is a picture of a homemade stand I fashioned out of 3/4" plywood scrap and gave it a couple coats of poly-u. No... I didn't forget to bolt on the wing!!! The throttle wire has a wing nut on a 1/4-20 bolt that locks/releases for adjustments. There is plenty of area on the motor mount,(firewall), surface to add blind nuts. I use the same motor mount that is going in the plane. The base is easily screwed to a saw horse or bench, etc. This is my .91 Saito on the stand. It is OK on the saw horse but I would weight down anything bigger. I will soon be bolting on my new 150 Saito to the saw horse. I've seen flying pizzia boxes, dog houses, etc. but a sawhorse!!! . ..lownslo..
