The Ventus turbo provides about 250 ft/min climb rate at 1000ft ASL,
decreasing with altitude up to perhaps 10000-12000ft ASL where zero
climb (pure sustaining) is possible.

When a glider uses sustaining engine instead of selflanching, does it
mean that I would not gain any attitude if I started the engine during
a flight?
