Hi Glen, Love the workshop, wx looks good too! Good luck with the project, from your workshop and car it looks like you have the right attitude and we look forward to seeing another first class Nipper take to the air. My only comment (and I am sure it is not needed) is to make sure the paint strippe...

Nice one Paul, my renewal is coming up, so will give them a look. As a point of note my insurance was for a hull value of £14,500 with a premium of £690. However, they were excellent with my recent claim and were prompt with assessment and payment for a considerable sum.

Hi Glen, In the absence of Pauls reply...... Have a look at the Leburg website ( http://www.leburg.freeserve.co.uk/ ), it tells you pretty much all you need to know. I have the system on my Nipper, and have only good to say about it and am quite suprised that it is being discontinued. It is easy to ...

Hi David, Herewith some photos of my exhaust system, it really takes the sting out of the VW exhaust note. It was fabricated almost entirely from VW "J" tubes available from just about any exhaust center or German and Swedish. It has tubes with fins inside for the carb heat. The silencers ...

Good luck with the test flying Paul, just remember, if you need to pick an outfield landing area, if you can see it over the nose you probably wont glide to it! (Nipper glide ratio=oven ready turkey) It really is an exciting time :D :D :shock: Progress on mine has been slowed due to insurance and ho...

Hi Glen, I hope to get the plans off today, but as I have just trapped a nerve in my back I will see how I get on. I have not got far with the Great Plains (GPAS) engine...........the machining on the case for clearancing is ok, though to my mind needing alot of finishing to remove potential crackin...

Hi Paul,

Thanks for that, I spoke with David today, he is having a batch made and I have put my name down for one to carry as a spare.

Hi Bob,

I may be using a different oil filter assembly on my Nipper, if you are interested in my remote filter and bits please let me know.

Hi Guys,

I have just brought back a G'Plains 2180cc engine, but will be using Nicasil cylinders. Unfortunately I can see no means of using an electric starter due to the weight and space constraints.

Hi Guys, I have just been on the phone to Andy Draper at the PFA to chase the Mod request which he has had since March this year, and have politely suggested to him he has had it long enough! Also that there are now three other Nipper owners who would like to use this mod (Len Johnston is also inter...

Hi Guys, The plans are definately not email size!! But it is not a problem for my wife to copy A3 stuff, so I can copy the plans and send them to you if you let me have your postal address. The fuel tank sits under the original main tank, and really doesn't affect the C of G. The safest way of using...

Hi Guys, Thanks for your kind words. A rather disturbing occurance, normal spin entry and the spin went flat. Having never done any flat spin training was rather at a loss as to what to do to recover (normal spin recovery techniques don't work in a flat spin). However, a quick review of spin aerodyn...

Hi Paul, Hope to see you both days, wx permitting! If I don't good luck with in I'view (N jets?) I did an interview with them a little while ago, I am sure you have a good brief, but will be pleased to pass on anything you may think of interest........07971966286, I am working tomorrow, you need to ...

Sorry to hear that......good luck with the exam!

Hi Willem,

Sorry I could not make the meeting, I was working, great photos. Hope to meet you at the North Weald bash?
