Default Nimbus 2B flaps/trim

,"If I loosen the trim knob and take it out of the trim detents"

I have not directly looked at the nimbus 2 but all the other Schemp-hirth products I have looked at, do not have trim detents. My ventus b has a sliding knob that is located on the flap sliding tube and moves with the flap handle. when tightened this makes (thru the use of a spring attached to the elevator circuit) the control stick have pressure fore and aft according to stick position. But the flap position is not hindered unless you hold the stick from moving. Then only deterred by spring tension. So definitely something wrong there.
