Nimbus 3D winglets
Does anyone have any info about fitting winglets to a Nimbus 3D they can share with me? I'm interested in fitting them at both 23m as well as 25.6m span.
TIA Colin |

Nimbus 3D winglets
Colin,
I know some folks that just completed a project on a singleplace Nimbus 3, and have done several other gliders as well with good results. Contact me using the webmaster link at http://www.soaringdata.info, and I'll put you in touch. Lynn Alley "2KA" |

Nimbus 3D winglets
Peter Masak had winglets on his Nimbus 3 at the 1989 WGC. There is a Nimbus 3 F-CFUN flying with what looks like Maughmer Winglets. There are some examples with Borowski winglets which have a swept back shark fin type design. There are also some Nimbus 3 with swept back wingtips (Nimbus 4 style) but without winglets. All these examples are installed on the single seater. I have not yet seen or heard of a Nimbus 3D with winglets. Since the wing is basically the same, all these mods should also work for the 3D.
I would also be interested in further information on the topic... |

Nimbus 3D winglets
Pete, did they get EASA mod/STC approval for those, and if so, how?
(Not that that is of interest to USA readers, I suppose - no doubt comes under experimental over there)? Regards - Chris N |

I've been told that Carl Herold had a 3D that had winglets. Does anyone know anything about that setup?
