We also use old wire spools at our field. They make very good stands for assy, starting and any other activity needed. I drill a couple holes for large dowls at an angle to hold the plane for starting and ajusting. With engine idling put it on the ground, or carry it to the runway for takoff.I have built an abreviated field box to carry all my equip to the flight staition with one trip.box with radio, starter[ self contained] fuel and fuel pump with a few rudimentery tools, with wing in cradle on top in one hand and fuse in other hand, everything else stays in car.One trip to the station and one trip back. Very simple
