Tipsy Nipper

HI one and all, I am new to the group,but was a Nipper owner some years ago, having a share in GAVKT, a Mk3. I am just about to complete a nut and bolt rebuild of a PA12 Super Cruiser,joint owned at Breighton, Yorks, and am searching for a new project. Has anyone any knowlege of a Nipper unloved, unwanted ,parts thereof or plans. I am an experienced builder and renovator so not likely to be scared off by a true basket case. Anyone know who has KT now,does it still have the Barry Smith 1835cc and Ellison carb. My son could do a nice four roll outward flicking circle and loose only 600ft in it. Any info ,suggestions or wild ideas welcome. Ray Newall, ernewall@hotmail.com or 01757 248694.

AVKT crashed in 1972 and was heavily damaged.

Some part were used to build G-BRIK and I think some parts are still with Barry Smith.

Mr Tipsy: Thanks for the info on KJ. I last flew it at the end of 1994 but have lost trace of her. I think she force-landed in 1995 but was not too badly damaged. Regards ernewall
