The Nimbus 4D is the current open class super two
seater design in production by Schempp-Hirth in Germany. It is the successor to the earlier 24.6
m Nimbus 3D. The six piece (26.5 m span)
Discus plan form wing has full span camber changing flaperons. It has a glide ratio of about 60. It's particular look with the triple taper
leading edge and forward swept wings is really graceful in the air. We offer here a 1:3.75 (7 m span) scale reproduction, of this very high performance
glider.
Never flown such large glider, you will be
surprised how docile this glider is in the air, a real performer. Experience the
feeling of flying a "large" scale glider. Thermals gracefully and you
can cover amazing distances. Ultimate soaring!
This glider comes completely built, and
ready for radio installation. All parts are of high gloss white finish
moulded parts. High strength wings with two flaps and two ailerons controls,
live hinged and gapless. Comes with a 18mm hardened steel joiner. Fuselage
reinforced with high strength carbon tows. Scale seat with instrument panels. 2K
polyurethane painted parts for UV stability, no yellowish gel coat over the
years. Top of fuselage repainted for seamless look. Available in full carbon
version if requested.
