Nimbus Tandem Demo

Nimbus tandem hang glider.
Demo valid 1 hour.

Handling:

Nimbus is a easy handling hang glider that can carry two passengers. Its stability and good performance make the nimbus the best option both for learning, teaching and recreational purposes. If you are looking for a glider for learning or teaching to soar on SL the Nimbus tandem is the best option for you.

Wind driven hang glider:

This hang glider, just like a real one, is an un-powered aircraft that depends on rising air currents for gaining altitude and speed. The 3D-Wind script's powering this hang glider generate these air flows in real time using environmental SL conditions, like the SL's flat 2D wind,the shape of terrain and sun position. The pilot must use his skill to take advantage of them in order to fly long distances and stay flying for long periods of time as a real glider would.
If you don't know about RL soaring don't worry, Nimbus comes with a brief soaring guide note card which tells you all what you need to start in the art of soaring. With a bit of training you will soon be gliding all over SL.
