I would not run an engine without a load. too much danger of overspeed. Slight inadvertent cracking of throttle give a sudden burst of over-speed

1) Without prop any vibration will be from engine and PSRU and can
inspect engine (leaks, etc.) with no fear of prop.

2) With prop less chance of over rev and some cooling air through rads
and oil cooler.

What do you think?
