VH-GYT was one of 3 Dimona H36 2 seat motor gliders which were extensively refurbished by Rob Thompson and Nigel Baker at Waikerie in 2003. The aircraft was manufactured by Hoffman Aircraft in Germany in 1982 and since the refurbishment it has been in excellent condition. Based at Camden, NSW, Australia, the other syndicate members are Laurie Hoffman, Rob Thompson and David McGonigal. My one quarter share is available for sale for $23,500.
GYT stalls at 38knots, soars like a Twin Astir and cruises between 85 and 90 knots with side by side seating. The wings are able to be folded back for easy storage.
Both the engine and prop have done 470 hours since the last major overhaul and the maintenance has been meticulous. You can download details of our last annual inspection here which will give you an indication of the standard of maintenance.
You can also download from here the Flight Manual and the Service Manual which are in Microsoft word format.
The following photos of the cockpit layout are from Nigel Baker's Dimona VH NHB - there isn't a great deal of difference between his and our aircraft. We will endevour to get some photos of the GYT cockpit as soon as is practical.
