I can't help be be amazed at how many guys that have "never crashed" engines for sale, have dropped them on the garage floor and broken off a cooling fin or two.

At least they are being honest. Somebody may have a use for an engine in this condition, you never know.

My dog bit a couple cooling fins off my ZDZ 80.

It's for sale because I want to upgrade to a DA 100.

Selling because it's too much power for my plane and I'm afraid of it.

I understand where you guy's are headed with this falling of the bench anomaly, but I can say I have truly knocked an engine off the bench and damaged two cooling fins. Fell right on it's head, broke the fins and never saw fuel previous to this.

It is pretty narrow minded to assume someone is being dishonest IMO... It can and does happen.

Sure there are those guys with creative selling descriptions.

I have recently contacted a major manufacturer
about acquiring an 'engine drop protector pad.'
I am selling these as INSURANCE against engine
damage, prior to fueling, around and about the
bench.
These pads are available in Green or Black and come
fully ready to use. (Overnight shipping available)
Get one for your RC addict for father's day or Christmas!
4 foot by 6 foot, 26.8mm thick!

Price: $249.98 per unit shipping and handling extra
depending on where your bench is actually located!

Hurry............................

Home Depot has some nice, thick, snap together, pads for far less than $250 that might serve the same purpose. They're actually designed to make standing on a concrete floor a little easier on the back, but would certainly pad the impact of a falling object.

Why not put the engine in the center of a sufficiently sized table? I have knocked and engine over but never damaged the fins. Bent the linkage and had to replace it. I just try to be more careful in the future.

I have placed my 9C on my car and didn't put it on the ground, like I usually do. The transmitter dropped and scratched the plating. While I wish it never happened, I would not try to sell it as anything other than carelessness on my part.
