Hello Jim,
Good job on H4, I follow your other project and I’m very impressed. I just bought a Nimbus 3T and the gel coat is cracked all the way to the carbon fiber, no other choice I ‘m sending it off. I prefer to cover the carbon fiber with epoxy filler and than to paint it with PU. Do you still have the profiles coordinates that Dick Johnson sent to you? If positive, please send them to me. I might have more questions in the future and I hope a lot of pictures.

Hello Haim,
I no longer have the profile templates, I gave them to a Ventus owner locally and I believe he sent them to Garrett Willat who now owns H4 in San Diego. You can contact Garret through the Warner Springs glider operation: http://www.skysailing.com
Good luck with your refinish – definitely PU is the way to go on the Nimbus.
Best regards,
Jim
Thank you Jim,
I’m trying to get Garret @ skysailing. If you still have the wing stations and chord thickness to length ratios tables, I can build the templets in case Garret doesn’t have them.
