Well, at my club we made several haoles in the ground and put small pieces of PVC into the (they just come up to ground level) and put metal bars in these. Foam was wrapped around the bars and you put your tail inbetween the bars and start the engine. After starting you can pull the bars up and tossthem so you can taxi right onto the runway, no lifting, no stitches, no blood. It works pretty good.
