Minimum acceptable self-launch climb rate
I'm curious why motorglider pilots don't practice that at 200ft agl, as all student pilots do on aerotows as part of normal training.
FYI- the L/D of the Arcus M with mast extended and engine not running is approximately 13:1 with a sink rate in level flight of 495 fpm. Do you want to try a turn back to the runway with those numbers?
