A local builder has an E-racer with a Supercharged IO-540 in it, very much power, etc. He is able to run it up to full power on the ground, just by putting chocks on the mains, and standing on the brakes. His chocks are not all that high either, ~1".

As much as I joke about "backwards plastic planes", the only real disadvantage they seem to have is the inability to tie them down for testing. I can't personally imagine not doing full throttle tuning/testing on the ground. There must be some way to restrain that thing enough to tune it on the ground.
