Default Nimbus 3 turbulators

We are refinishing the outer panels of my Nimbus 3 and want to verify
placement of the turbulator strips....when I bought the glider they
were about 1/2 inch in front of the trailing edge (in front of
aelirons)....... they did not cover the last 7 feet (approximately) of
the outer panel. Any input??

Mine are in almost exactly the same place as you have described.

Mine go all the way out to within 2 inches of the end of the outboard
panels. There's a photo somewhere on the LH LWR wing page on my
website. www.jimphoenix.com

I asked the factory (Schempp) about sealing for a Ventus
and got a PDF that covers Ventus, Nimbus 3 and Discus.

There doesn't seem to be a way to upload it here so
if you write me I will send it on to you.

John
