You will lose pitch and yaw control as soon as the stick contacts the ground, since that will pin the tail down.
But you obviously knew that… I think if the plane is small enough to hand launch into a hover, then you could probably do the reverse in calm conditions. But I’ve never considered that to be practical for launch or recovery myself. @tilt certainly has the best idea for T&Ls, and non-tilt tailsitters just can’t compete with that.
