Re: Nipper Swarm!
Sorry that I didn't make it! I was all set to go but I decided the forecast gusty crosswind was outside my limits! Unfortunately the 300 metre strip I fly from is quite dependent on the 'right wind', which I suppose is a small price to pay for the convenience of being 5 mins from my house! Right, ex...

Re: Looking to buy - but a few questions first
Looks set to be windy! If not too 'challenging' I'll head over. Will text to confirm either way tomorrow.

Re: Looking to buy - but a few questions first
Thanks Neil, much appreciated. I can be around on Friday morning if Wx permits. I've had a look over 'FE and I think the play in the stick is to do with the pivot bolt at the base (not the cross bolt). It all looks a bit slack, so I'll have a look at that when I can. Avgas - well yes, that's another...

Re: Looking to buy - but a few questions first
PS is it me or do all Nipper owners smell of fumes/avgas when they get home?? I can't see any leaks etc in the Jab's exhaust system so perhaps it's a feature of the Nipper's aerodynamics...?

Re: Looking to buy - but a few questions first
Just to let you all know that I'm now the proud owner of G-CCFE! Yes she does seem to get about a bit but I hope she'll be here to stay for a good while! Hangared at a 300 metre farm strip only 5 mins from my house :D I'm having a great time in her, and she really isn't hugely different to my Skyran...

Re: Brake discs
Has anybody looked at using wheels/discs from other aircraft? I've heard that Jabiru wheels/discs can be used, and I've seen other microlight arrangements that can probably be made to fit?? Would make sense if we could use off the shelf items. Are there already such minor mods cleared with LAA?

Re: Nipper For Sale.
G-CCFE now at her new home in Suffolk! Had a great journey back from Breighton and did my first landing in her (or indeed any nipper!) at Priory Farm. Did a few circuits before taking her into a private 300 metre strip (her new permanent home), no problems! She's a sweet machine to fly and I look fo...

Re: Nipper For Sale.
I quite like the tip tanks! Deposit paid, I hope to collect G-CCFE at the weekend!! I'll be taking her into priory farm, and then (once I've got the hang of short field landings) into a farm strip near my house.

Re: Looking to buy - but a few questions first
Thanks for the replies! There seems to be no shortage of advice / support which is great, and much appreciated! I'm based at a private farm strip in Suffolk, not far from Priory Farm. Actually I was at Priory Farm yesterday when G-AVKI arrived (on the way back from a very impressive display by Neil ...

Looking to buy - but a few questions first
Dear All - apologies if these are 'frequently asked' but I've had a trawl through this forum and can't find answers! I'm looking to sell my Skyranger 912 to replace with a Nipper, but before I commit: 1) Will a Nipper operate safely from a 300 metre grass strip (with clear approaches)? 2) Is the sho...
