Does anyone out there know of it? Does it still function? Are there any

drawings available? did it throw up any snags? did the design ever get

patented? Anything to help us make up our minds if it would be a good

project.

My Mini Nimbus is in the hanger, located at the Moriarty Airport, as are 7 other sailplanes. I think it is a great working idea, that has been mostly trouble free for the last six years or so that I have been renting a space. Bob Carlton designed it, and hangers his Bonus Jet there. Mark Mocho is Ned's maintenance man in charge. The only problem I know of is that an electrical relay failed a couple of months ago, and was replaced within a few days of the part being ordered. So, quite trouble free for many years.
