Default RE: Engine test stand designs to build or buy...

This is one I put together recently. I'm sorry, but I don't know who makes it, but I do know that Who's Hobby in Rapid City South Datkota had two different sized ones on one of their peg boards the other day when I stopped in. This picture is when I was running in a little GMS 25 for a combat plane. Recently I ran in an Evolution 26 G2 on it with no problems. I have one of those black and decker workmates I clamp it on to. I have a remote glow system set up on it just to try and keep some stuff out of the way, like my fingers . I have two tanks set up that I swap out, one for gas and one for glo. My previous set up was a wood base and wall set up that I drilled out to fit what ever engine mount I was going to use for that project. Just ended up with too many holes after awhile in the back plate and didn't like changing it out. A couple of 1/4" bolts with wing nuts are what hold the engine down to the aluminum mount you see, and it adapts to just about any engine width you will come up with I think.

Just my two cents.
