Re: Tipsy Nipper Mk III Manuals

It might be worth contacting Ed Martin in Belgium who bought my Nipper( Previously
A-ASXI now OO-COC
a couple of yrs ago. I gave him a large amount of info including some stuff
on the VW acro engines.
Cheers

Re: A bit about me: Paul Gibbs

Nice one Gibbsy, I think you have had the sort of flying career that I would have liked. Only problem is I probably would have stuck with the island hoping thing as thats the sort of flying I like.

Re: G-AVKK

Looks just like ASXI except for the tip tanks and tail. Got a chap from Belgium

Re: G-CORD Rebuild

Greetings Peter, definitely the best mod I did (G ASXI) was bicycle hydraulic brakes. The were a fiddle to set up but once sorted are great. They will hold me at full throttle on tarmac. Others I would recommend are the bungee mod , some sort of adjustable trim tab, Jabiru engine (electric start!!!)...
