Would cold-blooded dragon be suitable for flying?

I am designing a cold-blooded dragon about the size of a house cat with a wingspan of 3 metres from tip to tip. It will climb on top of rocks at noon when there is ample sunlight overhead. I need it to take off vertically and remain several meters high in the air for at least ten minutes to escape from predators. What biological mechanism does the cold-blooded dragon need in order to perform such a feat?
