Looks like it would take a skilled pilot to land this bird on all four wheels. Not much clearance in the front wheel area from the landing surface to the bottom of the fender/wheel well. Landing angle also have to be relatively flat to avoid prop strike. Taking off would also have to be at a shallow angle to avoid damaging the prop. Specs don’t give much info re: weight.

Maybe, If they land on a grass airfield w/ balloon tires..and a skilled pilot.
..it's seems; a major redesign (landing gear), is in order
some sort of rig..extension..like USA Naval aircraft have.
