That would be far to conventional for one of my airplanes. But it did give me an idea (that's a bad thing) How about I set it up with a module with a cartridge of helium attached to a deflated balloon actuated by RC. After taxing out to the take off point on the runway I activate the balloon which inflates and lifts the plane into the air. The cartridge capacity is more than the balloon can handle so at about 25 feet the balloon bursts. I activate the motor and fly away. When the balloon bursts it ejects the lifting mechanism so the plane doesn't have to carry it around. (I know, I've been watching to many James Bond movie's)
