Hello,

I'm using the cold weekend to build a test bench for some engines i have in the basement. These are somewhat small (.42 two stroke and .82 four stroke) and I wondered if anyone had ideas or designs to help me.

My plan is to fix a small block of some sort to cradle and mount the engine with a spot for a servo behind and a place to rubber band a small removable fuel tank behind as well. I want to then be able to take the block and attach it to a standard stanley vice table that is portable (that way I can take it outside, lock the mount into the table, and fire up the engine).

Has anyone put together such a contraption or have any pictures or instructions? Anything I should think about or plan for ahead of time? I want to make sure it is stable and yet still able to move inside and out without too much trouble.

Thanks,
Zach

you might want to make the fuel tank adjustable in high ...

Here's one I 'borrowed' some ideas from...its off RCU, do a search, you'll find quite a bit more.

...and like stated...make the tank height adjustable...you could use blocks or stand-offs.
