Re: BUNGEES/ u/c RUBBERS

Whilst I replaced all mine last year a spare set would be useful.
I have a spare set of nose rubbers to lease if someone is stuck.

Re: Charity Fund Raising Flight

Hi fellow Nippers I have just returned from my charity flight, many thanks to those that offered help, if needed. Whilst the weather prevented me from visiting the south east coast and a couple of other nippering places I managed the trip without too many hitches. Here is a short account of my fligh...

Re: Charity Fund Raising Flight

Thank you Neil for your kind offer.

I am not sure of my return track as the weather may have some say.

Raised £1100 so far for the CLIC Sergant charity from generous friends and a local pub auction.

Re: GRP parts

Does the spinner just fit over the prop bolts using the plate as security? or does the spinner require cutting to shape around the prop and requir...

XD was registered 26/10/67 and test flown 22/02/68. We could maybe meet up towards next weekend. Weather permitting, I...
