There is no approved mod from the factory for the installation of winglets on a Nimbus2, almost all other models but not the Nimbus2.
Worldwide there are large number of the model flying with winglets.
The CAA here will not approve installation unless they have full documentation,
My request is that owners with wingleted Nimbus2's have a look at their approval documents and installation drawings and calculation sheets to see where I can get
duplicates of the information, who approved it, to enable a grandfather process to satisfy the CAA here .
Any help would be appreciated
please email info to gfoneill at xtra dot co dot nz

Hi Gary
Have you tried talking with David Moody? He's been involved in a few winglet mod projects and may be able to offer some guidance. BTW which Nimbus did you end up with?
