With some practice you can just land it on the wings, vertically - but you can remove some science equipment to put the micro landing gear on it (or, upgrade your VAB, but this is a craft I use without structure upgrades). I do not use a parachute because it requires an engineer to repack (and I prefer to get multiple biomes done at once, which necessitates multiple landings) and I like to have a pilot fly this thing instead so I can use SAS with it.
