If that's a reference to my post, my testing was done at idle - sorry to mislead. That said, your post begs the question of exactly how you would place boards if not with your hands? Speaking of getting sucked into engines, ever see the video footage of the guy getting sucked through a jet engine only to come out alive but on fire on the other side? I don't know how he made it through the turbofan...Anyway, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a runaway engine disconnecting fuel lines, messing with phone books, etc...I'd just stand back and let the extinguisher handle it.
