After nearly three months of no flying, I was delighted to get NIPR into the Highland winter skies today. Not the best of weather, but certainly flyable. She started with the second swing of the prop, which was very impressive.
I hope to fly her more in the coming months.
Work and family pressures have been preventing too much Nippering of late, but we managed a short trip recently.
NIPR started well, and we flew a twenty minute general handling trip out and back to the Inverness base.
Come on all. Let’s get the Nipper group going in earnest.
The flying season is upon us and I’m sure you are all embarking on adventures, be they grand or small.
Just drop me a line via the contact page, or to my email address.

The high pressure remained, and I took another fine late evening trip in NIPR.
Stayed local to the base, flying aerobatics, and exploring the spin characteristics in detail.
With the change of seasons, and also the clocks, it’s great to have the chance for late evening flights. Sunset at my Inverness base is now approaching the airport closure time of 2200. So I took the chance for a half an hour aerobatics trip overhead the airport, just beautiful.
With an unexpected improvement in the weather, I managed to get a very special quick evening flight in NIPR.
Heading South from our base at Inverness airport, I flew around a very quiet and unpopulated area amongst the hills and mountains. After checking that it was indeed unpopulated, we dropped down to very low-level and enjoyed a lovely twenty mins of exhilarating flying. NIPR handled beautifully and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Unfortunately I had to return to work in China a few days later, and NIPR is awaiting my return!
