DIY Airplane Stand, I need something solid to hold that monster down!
by greg on Dec.15, 2009, under Airplanes
After test running my YS .91 the other night I realized, this engine pulls VERY hard, and not having a helper to hold the plane while getting the engine started and warmed up was a dangerous affair.
So I decided to build my own Starting/Run-up stand that I could put in the bed of the old Dodge pick-em-up truck!
A few pieces of carpet, plywood and pressure treated 2×6s I had from various other projects and VIOLA! A nice, sturdy (and heavy) stand to that is a perfect fit for my Extra 330s.
