Well, I ducked out for awhile cuz I needed my head to clear.... Ok, so been there done that...I'm back with a safety example - in other words, DONT DO THIS!
This is from the Lancair Mail List. It's a brand new Lancair IV PT and beyond that, I know NO specifics, but certainly feel really bad for the owner/builder.
This was also discussed here a few weeks ago. Please *dont* let this happen to you (course, I know of no RV's with a 750BHP turbine on the front).
As you can see, this was not tied down, it probably had "green" brakes, it only used little blocks for chocks and it appears they expected the brakes to hold the HP back while they did an engine run, the rest is self explanitory ... Let's not even speculate as to the cost, it would be scary!
Ok, so put this one in your "safety file" and don't be a statistic.
