Minimum acceptable self-launch climb rate

The GP 15 Jeta has a ratio of 1:6.3, which is far lower than the rule of thumb for powered flight. Yet, I don't hear anyone complaining. Given that there are approximately 0 Jeta's flying in the hands of real customers, the lack of complaints may not be surprising. You should always be cautious comparing specs of vapourware gliders to those of gliders in the field, since in the first case the glossy brochures are sometimes not encumbered by nasty things called facts. -Dave
