Re: Nippers in the South East?

Hi Mark I know one or two taller Nipper pilots who have the mod and fly very comfortably. Most notably, David Greenwood, seen here on a visit to Breighton. Easily 6’. Shame about your hangarage issues. The Nipper takes up no room at all and I’m quite peeved that I have to pay the same as a Zlin or C...

Canopy Trim

The rubber trim on my canopy has started to perish and I’d like to replace it. Any ideas, please?

Re: OWNERS 'TESTIMONIALS' - WHAT ARE THEY LIKE TO OWN & FLY

Enjoy Nippering...
