<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Timothy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>

<P align=left> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>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</FONT> <FONT face=Arial

<P align=left> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>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?</FONT></P>
