Default Small turbines for homebuilts?

This ha actually been done here in Sweden. Two "model size" turbojets
atop the fuselage of a two-seat glider. Not enoug thrust for take-off
but plenty of power to fly home in marginal conditions to avoid an
"out" landing. I beleive they quoted 1-2 m/s climb rate.
