"Then, when it appears to be flying level without climbing anymore, grab
the plane, remove the rubber, and measure the torque."
 
I don't remove the rubber. I keep it on the plane so the length isn't
altered. I have a wire V with hooks at the top of each leg. The base of the V
goes in the torque meter hook and the hooks at the tops of the V legs engage
the prop spars. The torque is thus measured directly from the prop.
