Reichard Model Nimbus-3.6 meter slope/electric power.

I have decided to buy this glider after researching more and more about it before purchasing it.It will be used as a slope/thermal glider fitted with a 43 mm diameter brushless motor/700kv, and running 5s lipo/3200 mah,12x6.5 folder,100 amp esc continuous-150 amp burst,equivalent to 160 watts/pound power available,using ecalc.It will be better suited to slope flying,more so than thermal,due to a wing loading of 12.5 ounces sq/foot,with a flying weight of 3.0 kg.Wing area is -80 dm sq,Steel wing rod(s) are 10mm diameter and 8 mm diameter,foam core wings,carbon i beam spar,glass then balsa/oracover.Anyway,this glider will be easy to handlaunch for flat field thermal flying, and will handle wind as well.Airfoil is RG-15 MOD.

I took these pictures today at the field of the nimbus and the sirius,both from reichard models.It was the best afternoon l have had to fly the nimbus and sirius.the nimbus flew really well,and very happy with it,and the sirius as well
