Default would an electric sustainer be practical

Just doing some day dreaming..........but why not make a sustainer,
capable of climbing out after a short winch/auto/aero tow and finding
lift.

I think the prop could be smaller, the HP of the engine lower, the
battery capacity less.

Plus I have just the spot in my Apis to put one!
