Default Nimbus sailplane question

I seem to remember a discussion about in flight problems
with Nimbus sailplanes. I tried to find it and could not.

Can someone fill me in on the details? Which model
of Nimbus (I, II, III)? What was the specific problem?

Thanks,

Thomas

Thomas --

Dick Johnson tested the Nimbus II for the January 1976 issue of Soaring
Magazine. His article may be available on the SSA site.
