The pictures ( www.genesisflyers.com ) showing my Genesis2 with a "jet
turbine" is a JetCat P200 mockup. As it looks now I will use a new Swedish
jet turbine developed solely for sailplanes. The major advantage with this
is that it starts on Jet A1 fuel (no starting gas).
The engine(s) will be 100% retractable into the fuselage when not used.

Nice idea, especially if it easily can self start. Try to design it so
that when the engines extend a cover also comes up to close the hatch.
That way you don't have the added drag of a large hole in the
fuselage.
