RE: Test Stand
I have my test stand set up similar to Kw_Counter on a Workmate. I often use it in my backyard. At the field we have a couple of tables at the far ends of the pit area that we can clamp (or screw) a test stand to. That table appears to be much lighter than the one I use, a plus if you're hauling it around, but a minus when you put a large motor on it. You may need to add some ballast underneath to make it more stable.
