The "B" model has the improved horizonal tail with an elevator instead of the "A" which was an all flying tail. If you have a one man rig, then assembly will go very go. It does run well for an older ship and will give you many hours of enjoyment. At least mine did. It did have good handling and with water ballast climbed very good. I did watch a fella jump out of an "A" model at Hobbs back in the 80's when his all flying tail came off. He was about 4,000 agl and I saw the canopy open and he stepped out. He ended up ok but the Nimbus almost hit him when it crashed into the ground.
