When you play your cards right, this will make the Low Fuel challenge. Barely. Step 1: pull back on the throttle. Even without the engine on the gyro will pull the nose up so only the bouncy ball touches the ground. Step 2: Throttle up to about 75% for the takeoff and then immediately after throttle down to about 20%. After that, do what it takes to stay aloft.
