Yes but they need towing up by an airplane that does.

Not if you use:

bungee,
ground launch/car,
ground launch/winch,
horse, or
self launch,

all of which I've seen at one time or another :-)

I HOPE you shot video of the horse launch!

Self launch includes such things as rolling down a steep
hill into a headwind where the topography permits. See
the BUG and GOAT for details.
