Last weekend, I had my engine run on the ground with aircraft attached using the tail die-down ring. I did not go over 1300 RPM and then, I noticed that the stainless steel plate to which the tie-down ring is attached severely bent.
Is this normal? The bracket is that soft?
I am a new RV6A owner. I used to check static RPM on my other plane having the tie-down attached to the ground... seems this is a no-no with the RV... Are you just relying on brakes for doing static RPM checks?
Thanks
