Schempp-Hirth Mini-nimbus
I'm selling my Arizona based "C" model Mini-Nimbus that features fully automatic hookups and carbon fiber wings with integral wing ballast tanks (no BAGS and no LEAKS) weighing only 137# each. New canopy 2017. I've added custom wing tip wheels to make ground handling easier. I installed new gap seals 2020. There are 3 LiFePO4 batteries rated at 10Ah each. 2017/18 I redesigned a new custom fiberglass panel to be used as a template for carbon fiber. But I liked the green fiberglass so much I decided to not do the CF and also fot a matching dark green lamb skin wool seat cover over the 2 inch CONFOR foam seat cushion. The ClearNav display is mounted behind the panel and is fully integrated with the PowerFlarm Core and ClearNav cross country vario with digital display. (I also have an analog display for the CNv if interested for a separate price.) There is also a ClearNav stick grip & controller. I installed a new Pieker TM170 dynamic mic for the Becker AR-4201 comm which also feeds an ICOM speaker. The Core was grandfathered with IGC and 2nd Flarm antenna functionality. The 2 Flarm and 1 ADS-B antennas are custom full length dipoles (not the shortened helical dipoles that come with the unit.) I installed an "InStock" GPS-410 4 way antenna splitter that is used for the ClearNavs and Flarm so only 1 GPS antenna is required. The TRiG TN-72 uses another active GPS antenna to provide full Mode-S ADS-B compliance send GPS data to the recently upgraded to TRiG TT-22 mode-s transponder. All pnuematics go thru a Winter 5 way quick connector and the panel electrics have connectors making removal of the panel for any work easy to do. I installed a marine style fuse block that uses commonly available mini AGC fuses and a digital volt meter to monitor battery levels. I have flown numerous 300-500+Km flights in this ship, it is contest ready and a capable performer. I have made numerous modifications to the trailer to simplfy rigging and stowage of all towout and rigging equipment as well as enhance road safety and reliability with 3 new tires in June 2019, LED lighting all around, center tail light and controller. Logs available for review as well as additional pictures. Contact [email protected] 609-367-2300.
