"The Junkers Ju.248/Messerschmit Me.263 did start flight trials and may have done "touch-and-go's"

I am not positive but seems like I remember a discovery channel program that said that the Germans rocket plane took off on a heavy sled with wheels that fell away after take off. It landed on skids which would have made touch and go's unlikely.

That was on the ME163 is was a bad set up the trolly when droped could bounce up and hit the aircraft and on landing your were stuck sitting on a skid

The Messerschmit Me.263/Junkers Ju.248 went to conventional landing gear... see the pic is my post #5
