See if you can trade one of those engines for an 09, or just bite the bullet and buy an 09; you will be surprised at how often that 09 becomes very handy.

Otherwise, put a larger or fine-pitch prop on the OS and plan for a steep climb; it is very easy to overspeed a sailplane with catastrophic results.
