Typhoon 2000 3-View? Engine Stand Plans?

[Pascoe,Tim [Burlington]]

Michael,

 

            That's about what I wanted to do - I'm thinking of making it a
little more adjustable, for use down the road though. I think I'm going to
use maple blocks hold the engine, and bolt the blocks to a maple plate. That
way, I can remove the blocks, and replace them with a set drilled for a
different engine.

 

            Thanks for the suggestions,

Tim

Timothy,

As for the Mintor 170 test stand, I built on out of stuff I had in the
garage.  I used 5/8 x 8 particle board, 2x2 pine, Hangar 9 aluminum engine
mount, and a Dave Brown soft pipe mount.   I took a piece of 5/8 particle
board and cut it at approx 30 inch and used that for the base.  I then cut a
3 more pieces of 5/8 at approx 6 inches.  I glued and screwed one of the 5/8
pieces on the end like a firewall,  the other two 6 inch pieces were used to
tie the fire wall back into the base.  I mounted the engine mount so that
the header would clear.  With the pipe on the motor I measured how high it
was from the base and cut a piece of 2x2 to fit with a DB soft mount mounted
on top.  For a throttle control just used 2-56 rod and ran it through a
small hole in the fire wall.  There was enough friction to keep the throttle
from moving.  When all the glue was dry, I used drywall screws and screwed
it down to a table.  Worked great and it only took about 40 min to build. 


Thanks

        I'm in the process of finishing a modified Typhoon 2000 (Synergy
flying surfaces), and was wondering if anyone has a set of digital 3-views
of the fuse which I could use to develop color schemes?

        I'm also the happy owner of a new Mintor 1.70, and need to build a
test stand to break it in on. Before I sharpen up the pencils, does anyone
have a simple plan for this as well?

        Thanks,

Timothy Pascoe
