Nice piece of engineering and the wing runner/photographer is pretty
good too!
What engines? Looks like about 400 fpm.

They are two AMT Titans, 40 Kg thrust each.
That's about minimum you want for jet self launch for 800Kg. Imagine
what a 600Kg 18M glider will do with two of the same engines.
Airborne performance would be increased on the ASH if the engine bay
doors closed after the engines were retracted and the pylon was more
streamlined.
