I am sadly selling my Nimbus 3D. Please don't hesitate to make an offer as I am interested in helping others realize their dream, just as this was my dream glider. I imported this myself in 2021 from Japan after it had sat for some time. I’ve flown it for 2 years now, traveling to California and SW Texas. This glider flies incredibly well, and I have spent a fair amount of time tuning it. This was the last Nimbus 3D to leave Schempp-Hirth, and has many improvements made to the design from the factory. From there, the previous owners took fantastic care of it, with the glider being completely refinished in polyurethane paint. It has extremely low hours for its age, coming in below 440. I will of course include the aluminum Cobra Trailer as well for sale, included with the glider. I have more information below. I am sadly looking to part ways with this glider as I have other flying aspirations that won’t allow me to spend as much time with this glider. Even though I love it dearly, I just can’t let it sit in a trailer. I haven't flown it recently, but I still maintain it as if I were to.
