Check G-CCFE out on google though, there are plenty of pictures out there.

Hi, I have to assume it was. There is a specified CofG range (which I stick to) but, given my weight (141/2 stone) and the fact that I can carry very little fuel to stay in the aerobatic weight range, the CofG is always well aft when I aerobat her. That said, I've yet to experience Neil Spooners spi...

For Sale: Tipsy Nipper G-CCFE. Jabiru engine (electric start etc), tip tanks and long leg mod. Recently weighed, re-wired, new panel, new Chris Lodge prop (old stock). 340kg MAUW. Engine running perfectly after 2 x new cylinders and heads, new seals and rings all around and new oil pump and cooler. ...

G-CCFE is also Fairey built and has the increased aero limit too. No idea when she aquired it.

Daz.

Hi,

I believe he's retired and he is no longer listed on the PFA suppliers index. His telephone number is on the sticker on his props though.

Happy Christmas,

Hi Pat, I'll give the loop thing a go. It sounds like a new manouvre - have you named it?! I have a special knack of inventing manouvres, unfortunately its by ineptitude rather than design! I thought Nippers were prohibited from flicks unless modified (bracing to tail, rudder instead of flying fin) ...

Hi all,

the conventional wisdom is that the Nipper is hard to spin - ? Mine isn't! I am flying it near the aft CofG (I'm porky and can't carry much fuel for Aero's) but it spins like a top!

Any thoughts?

Hi,

No bet! Mine is 104. It also leaks from the push rod tubes - I'm told it's normal - at least it won't rust!

Cheers,

Daz.

Hi, I've had plenty of advice about this - thanks. I'm very disapointed that Jabiru appear not to support 'old' engines (1996!) but ST have been very helpful. Fingers crossed, they have a solution for me - involving later barrels and heads. What a fantastic 'plane though! Can't wait to fly her on fo...

Gents, my Nipper has an early Jab engine. The rear cylinders are worn (pretty sure its the bores not just rings). ST don't think that new cylinders are available and say that I >may< be able to machine the spigots off a new (later) set and use those. Does anyone have any relevant info or heard about...

Hi Pat, Thanks! I'll let you know about the grin but I doubt it! I've only had one flight and it was the permit renewal test flight, waiting for a new permit to fly her again (last one expired). I'm spending the time titivating and repairing. I'm a glider pilot really, I enjoy competing, I instruct ...

Hi,

I've just bought Fred Hamblys Nipper, G-CCFE. Count me in if I'm not somewhere hot and sandy!
