Haven't figured out how to launch yet but to land have one of those
emergency chutes that are power ejected. Put a steerable chute in it
and when ready to land, shut turbine down, blow the chute out, and
then steer it to a safe landing.

Y'all oughta check out powered parachutes. They're also called
paramotors. A Google search will find plenty of sites. These are
folks who use a type of steerable parawings for gliding. Some have
attached motors and propellers in cages on their backs to be able to
lift off when and where they want, weather permitting.

Usually it's for low and slow flight, but some have gotten up to FL180
and above.
