Hi RVman
How do you manage to safely hold your plane on the ground, go to full throttle, and safely tune the engine? Ever have it at full throttle when the engine started? Yes, it is stupid to do that. I have only done it twice. Fortunately I had the plane on a safety stand.
I hold the plane with at the tail with my left hand and i tune with my right. I'll just say that use whatever method your comfortable with is best. I am not comfortable with a table so I don't use the table. There isn't a single best/safest way for every plane or person.
