I have flown various dH types off tarmac with a skid, whenever i do this I always wheel on and hold the tail off as long as possible, by then I am down to taxi speed, not sure how good the Turbulent is but think it would work ok. Another thing to watch for are high center taxi lines, i have taxied out ok only to have the skid catch on a high painted center line which then took me off the side!
