The booms come with wire skids in case you touch them on landing / takeoff. There is still a bit of clearance with the model in a good takeoff attitude. At our field the runway drops away at the end of the tarmac and we tend to let turbine models fly straight off the end a bit like a carrier take off! When landing you can actually fly finals below the level of the runway and then pop up and drop the model onto the runway. sounds scary but it works! Got to finish the model may fly p.m. today if the weather holds up.
