Title: Worlds Funniest Test Stand
Post by: proparc on March 16, 2020, 10:16:07 AM

I have all sorts of problems securing my big RC engines from moving when I'm testing them. This guy has got the answer lol ;D

Am I missing something here - what is funny? Obviously a cast iron garden chair isn't an ideal mount but its hardly going to take off, is it!
And a fold up work / saw horse has been used by many, the world over, since the 70's introduction for this very purpose. Now funny / peculiar / strange was a guy at a swap meet that had his engine stand G clamped to a fold up deck chair - so lightweight it could have taken off!

The lawn garden fixture behind it for weight. ST 2300's are pretty powerful.  :)

In our last house we had a walkout basement. It was winter and I wanted to run a Fox 35 I'd bought on E bay before I drilled holes to mount it on a Flite Streak. The engine ran fine and after two tanks of 5%/28% castor I looked at the door that had swung partially closed blocking the exhaust to the outdoors. There was nothing funny about the sawhorse with the two 1/2" x 1/2" oak strips mounted to it but in the cold air the door was covered with a runny syrup that still partially coated the door when we moved.
