Hi Paul,
Great to see you back!!
Thanks for your efforts with the revamp of the site, good effort.
The rebuild of G-CORD continues, give me a call re the planned visit.

All the best, Pete

Hi Jim, It all sounds very logical to me, but, we are talking about the LAA!! I agree with your sentiment regarding precedence in other areas, but, having recently been through the process with my RV8 where I had to fit isolation switches for the trim and flap circuits because the LAA were reluctant...

Hello Jim and Dave, Firstly, seasons greetings to all ! Well this was a timely post as I am now just on the threshold of starting to rebuild the engine for G-CORD and installing a Leburg ignition system. I now have 95% of the components, including the parts for the alternator mod sitting waiting in ...

Congratulations David!! She looks splendid and I am heartened to hear that the test flying was successful. My RV8 flew for the first time on 17 Nov and I am just waiting for the weather to behave itself so the test schedule can be completed. As soon as that is done it will be back to the rebuild of ...

Hi Lennard, Depends what you are looking for by way of a 'manual'. They range from the usual car maintenance manuals to some that are more specific to aircraft applications. You can buy VW aircooled engine manuals, intended for cars, from Amazon. Alternatively you could go to the website for Great P...

Hi Neil, thanks for the loan of the bungee tool, another set of 1080's successfully installed. I will contact you soon about returning all the borrowed bits!! Sincere thanks also to Nick for providing so much information regarding the brake mod. A piccy of G-CORD standing on her own legs again with ...

Hello Neil, you know me , ever the optimist!! Lots of fettling going on at the moment to graft the Magura "Big Twin" brakes onto the beastie!! I hope they are up to the job or it will be yet another mod to incorporate a brake chute! Shouldn't say it on this forum but your RV is looking goo...

A belated Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to everyone! The build of both the Nipper and the RV continue, depending on which end of the country I happen to be in at the time. Hoping to have them both airborne by the summer. It will make a pleasant change to do some flying rather than buildi...

Hello David,
I am interested in your nose wheel tyre, I will be working all day tomorrow, (Sunday)but, please PM me with the price and I will confirm. I will not be back in Devon until 2 Oct, but , happy to transfer funds if the tyre is new?

ATB, Peter

Hello Pij, If you go to the "You Tube" website and search for 'Nipper uc Tool' you will find a video of Neil Spooner fitting undercarriage bungees with his self-made tool. Probably enough detail in the video to copy the tool. Although Neil has now sold his Nipper I believe he still drops i...

Congratulations Ben!! I am halfway through the rebuild of G-CORD at the moment, so I can relate to the process you went through! Hope to join you in the not too distant future with another Nipper returning to the air. Incidentally, are you intending to call in at the LAA Rally at Sywell this weekend...

Hi Stuart,
I will be there,but, probably by road regrettably!! Will look out for you, planning to arrive Thursday and assist with set-up, departing Sunday. Have a safe trip.

Peter

Hi Paul, Glad to hear you are still out there!! Yes, the forum has been quiet of late, but, I have been accumulating parts in anticipation of a seamless!! and final assembly of G-CORD later this year. Ironically, my work has brought me home to St. Andrews with an EDI basing for the summer. The first...

Hello, ......... No sooner said than done! Visited Paul today because of my vested interest with the rebuild of G-CORD. Wanted to check my fuselage profile against Paul's mould and my old damaged canopy. In the process Paul was keen to show me his new oven. Couldn't really miss it actually, as it ta...
