Nimbus IV built and flown by Lenny Keer from Greeley, Colorado. 21 foot wingspan and 21 pounds. All fiberglass kit from HKM in Germany. Outstanding quality. Controls are rudder, elevator, ailerons, flaps, spoilers, retractable landing gear, and RC tow release. An Airtronics radio is used. The model was modified with the installation of a Hacker B50-11XL electric motor powered with thirty 1700 mah nicad's. A folding prop streamlines to the nose of the model. A very rapid rate of climb allows the model to climb to 500-600 feet about three times on a fully charged battery. It is equipped with a Picolario telemetering system to provide real time rate of climb, altitude, and voltage status of the receiver battery. During the event one flight was in excess of 30 minutes and an altitude of 2117 ft. was reached. Power was only used to reach an initial starting altitude of 500 feet or so. A bungee cord is used for takeoff. After reaching 6-10 feet on takeoff the bungee is released with the RC tow hook and then the motor started.

Isn't this the most beautiful model there ever was? One cannot tell that this is a model aircraft.
