Meant to add a pic of the stand without the engine.
As you can see, I tried to minimize both the battery box and ignition compartment. The maple base and motor mount were hollowed out using a scroll saw. 1/8 inch birch ply was used as compartment bottoms, and The battery box lid. The space available under the ignition module filled with BBs potted in glue added a bit more ballast. Centering the engine on the mount, and lowering the center of mass help with stability also.
