Paul,
If you have the Europa trailer then it is perfect to do a run-up on, without the
wings and stabilators on, of course. I have done it to 3000rpm. Trailer
connected
to the car, boot closed! and brake on, in PARK (automatic) To take it to
5800 for 5 mins I will, in addition, secure the tailwheel in position around
the trailer. Otherwise, as Andy said, top cowling off.
Cheers,
Tim

take off power for 5 minutes. Could someone advise me on how to secure the
aircraft safely for this task.
