Here you go, a stand in operation.
Starting at about 3 minutes 30 seconds in. And notice them taking the engine off the stand, all I have to say is wow, something is not right.

Thanks again,

Its not very safe to think that heavy engine will stay put in that prop shaft adapter like that. When removing that engine the adapter normally stays on the prop shaft because a nut on the front of the prop shaft holds it there, 4 bolts hold the adapter to the stand. They had that taper alignment collar there, with no nut holding in, it's doing nothing.
