Pete,
Yes, there is a cradle very similar to this. At the moment, that drawing is buried in one of my tubes, I'll have to watch for it again.
Interestingly, I've recently become aware of Seaplanes using a one time "cradle launch" system, then drop the thing once positive rate is established. I think that may be a bit much though, will have to see.
Thanks for that photo!
