This uses a prop as the energy absorber. Uses an old idea dating back to
 the original old Power Sport.

 It is made from 2 by lumber and 1/2 inch electrical conduit hammered
 flate and drilled for lag screws.

 Handy for tuning your engine and measuring the HP.

 A couple of rollers allow the engine to rotate on Tracy's gear box
 just behind the prop.
 The rear ball bearing is designed to take the prop thrust.

 Hi Paul & All,

 12a & 13b single rotors & 20b project

 Followed your Dyno plan with a few mods.

 Have run my 13b single rotor on it, Youtube MV!2115 &2178

 Best Regards,

 Nice work Rolland. How did you measure the torque?

 What was it for each engine?

 Hi Paul,
 Still in EFI maping mode, once I can make smooth power over 6/6k RPM range,
 the plan is measure torque with beam type torque wrench.
 The torque plus the tare ( in my case) will = prop torque.
 The youtube video's are MVI 2115 & 2178

 Best Regards,
 Rolland

 Thanks Rolland.
 Those youtube numbers still did not work. Any key words?
 You can high light the you tube address, copy the address and past it
 into your email message body.
