Nimbus sailplane question

[TJ]

I seem to remember a discussion about in flight problems
with Nimbus sailplanes. I tried to find it and could not.

Can someone fill me in on the details? Which model
of Nimbus (I, II, III)? What was the specific problem?

Thanks,

Thomas

Dick Johnson tested the Nimbus II for the January 1976 issue of Soaring
Magazine. His article may be available on the SSA site.
