Narrative:
Routine departure on runway 24. Cleared to 2;000 feet. Tower gave heading to 200. On IFR flight plan; VFR conditions. Copilot called out glider. Observed white t-tail glider making a rapid left rolling maneuver and pull down; to escape my flight path. No communication from tower or glider. No TCAS alert. Over in 5 seconds. Tower switched us to departure. Called airport manager to advise him of the event; and request condition of other aircraft.
