We're offering our self-launching Nimbus-3MR as we're planning to buy a doubleseater. The glider is still competitive for leisure and cross-country flying, we also attended several qualifications and nationals.Fritz Rueb, one of the first pilots discovering Africa, ordered a glider with prepared engine compartment and asked the Binder team to equip it with a powerful engine. The result was a self-launcher with reserves even with full water. The control of the engine and the fuel system was redesigned by the second owner in the mid of the 2000nds. He also performed a complete re-approval.Serial no.: 1No. of takeoffs: 1400TTSN: 5000hWingspan: 22.9m and 25.5mApproved Modifications compared to a standard Nimbus 3:- Nimbus 4 wing controls (less friction and backlash)- aerodynamic fuselage-wing intersection- electronic bug-wipersEquipment:- 57mm airspeed indicator- 57mm altimeter- 57mm variometer- Compass- Dittel KRT2 radio- Flarm with ENL und IGC approval- LVNAV NANO3 as backup logger and FLARM display- Zander ZS1- 5" tablet running XCSoar and Bluetooth remote control on stick- Solarpanels on panel coverage- Jaxida all-weather covers- 1 x charger with integrated battery (re-charged via solar modules on trailer)- Complete tow-out gear (dolly, wing walker, ...)- CG hookEngine:- Rotax 535B- TSO: 159 h (71h since last 300h inspection.
