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.
