Karl,
I agree that vehicles are not prone to make gliders do space shuttle
like launches, due to all the inertia of that set up. Though thanks
for sharing that even there it is possible, not just with winches.

search RAS on groups.google.com for phoebus c accident for just such
an accident

it's not entirely clear whether it was an all-flying tail stall or
over rotation into a stall
