Super Dimona (HK 36) Diamond Xtreme towplane
Hello all,
Does anyone know where an HK 36 operates as a tow plane in Germany, near Munich or Frankfurt? I will be in Munich over this weekend and Frankfurt next. I wish to see how the machine operates before purchasing one. Thank you Ruth Perreault Hallo alle, Das tut mir Leid, mein Deutsh ist doch elemantarish. Kennen sie ein Segelflugzeuggruppe (Club) in Deutscland (Münche diese wochende oder Frankfurt, nachste) mit ein HK 36 für Schleppflugzeug. Ich wünche gekauft einer Diamond xtreme. Mit grüssen!

Hi,
the aeroclub in Eschenlohe (that "near" Munich) operates a tricycle Turbo HK36. to go to Eschenlohe, take to Autobahn to Garmisch (A95) and exit at the next to last exit (Eschenlohe), right before you exit the Autobahn, you pass by the southern threshold (to your right). regards, Markus Ruth Perreault schrieb in Nachricht . ..

Hi Ruth,
you may talk to two clubs near Frankfurt. The Akaflieg Darmstadt is owning a Dimona with 80 HP and they do aerotowing with 15 or 18 m wingspan gliders. In Reinheim they had a Dimona with 115 HP which was also used to tow a Duo Discus. Aerotowing was OK, but a lot of problems with the engine. It seems the weather will be OK over the weekend, so you might get in touch with them. http://www.fsvor.com/index.htm http://www.akaflieg.tu-darmstadt.de/index.php Regards, Manfred "robert" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news Hello Not Germany, but there is one towing in Southeast Queensland Australia regularly. Normally out of Caboolture Gliding Club North of Brisbane (www.glidingcaboolture.org.au), but it has operated out of our club Darling Downs Soaring Club( www.ddsc.org.au). http://www.glidingcaboolture.org.au/joy.htm Although I have not had a tow behind it, it certainly seemed to perform acceptably with normal weight aircraft. Don't think a loaded up Nimbus on our grass strip at 1200 ft altitude would be a good thing. You could also try contacting Pam & Gerrit Kurstjens of our club who have the four place Dimona and his and hers Nimbus 4s'. They tow regularly with it and have lots of experience in light and commercial aviation and gliding around the world. Hope this helps. Robert Percy "Ruth Perreault" wrote in message ...

But also a lot of problems with the engine. I think every possible problem has happend, but I was also thinking that before the last one :-) |
