After 2 years development and construction the time has come: The maiden flight of the currently largest single-seated motor glider took place on 21 July 2009.
The ordering party Bruno Gantenbrink (YY) insisted to make the first flight of this project initiated and financed by his own.
Nimeta is a motor glider with a strongly modified fuselage and elevator Nimbus 4 as well as Eta wings.
With this project we realized Bruno Gantenbrink’s dream of a single-seated Eta. The challenge of this project consisted in uniting the two motor glider types due to the entirely different mechanics of wings and fuselage. Furthermore, we have redesigned the fillet wing fuselage and enlarged the fin by 20 percent.
The engine system has been completely adopted from Ventus/Nimbus and has been set by SHK.
After the today’s two hours maiden flight Bruno Gantenbrink was highly pleased with the quality of his new airplane.
We wish Bruno many successful flights!
