Dear Paul,
I was flying over the highlands in my Quik R (G-CGRC) flexwing recently -14 on the ground.. fantastic day. Lake of Menteith was frozen solid will post photographs asap.

Has anyone any info on new canopy supplies for the Nipper? Is it worth trying to get a number of new ones made?

Nipper No 36 is getting there... woodwork on the wings is complete and they just need covering. The fuselarge frame is done and work with all the wooden bits etc is underway. I am still looking for a Revmaster if anyone has one they want to sell.

Does anyone have any experience with the revmaster 2100d vw conversion. Can it be made to fit a Nipper? I have a new Leburg ignition (The engine is currently fitted with Lucas coils).

Work has started on a full restoration of Nipper No 36, VH-CGB. I am going to make it as original as possible. I am still looking for a suitable engine has anyone got anything? A Rolinson would be ideal.

Many thanks Richard

Thanks David,
I will give you a call sometime re the cowls. I think I have the right ones but they need a good clean up. Nipper No 36 is currently getting its wings and fuselarge sorted and I will be applyng for a reg etc this week.
Richard

Thanks David,
One question.... I would like to use the older MK2 cowls as I think they look good is that what you are using on your open cowled engine in the photograph?
Thanks Richard

I am putting together a Nipper with as yet no reg. I have decided on the VW engine. The great plains or Aero Vee look like the two contenders (I also have a Leburg ign). The Aero Vee has the advantage of a re start! but I would need to get the thing approved by the LAA etc. If I go for the Great Pla...

Does anyone know if a spinner is available for a Chris Lodge prop /VW engine?
