It might be worth contacting Ed Martin in Belgium who bought my Nipper( Previously
A-ASXI now OO-COC
a couple of yrs ago. I gave him a large amount of info including some stuff
on the VW acro engines.

Ed, There are a lot of seriously interesting and helpful blokes, and lassies out there on this site If ever you have a problem a question or an observation re Nippers, your first port of call should be this site. Neil Spooner is the Nipper guru, and what he doesn't know isn't worth knowing anyway. H...

Nice one Gibbsy, I think you have had the sort of flying career that I would have liked. Only problem is I probably would have stuck with the island hoping thing as thats the sort of flying I like. Any way keep the faith and happy landings :) Still trying to sell ASXI and have a chap from Belgium (a...

Looks just like ASXI except for the tip tanks and tail. Got a chap from Belgium
coming over to look. He seems very keen to buy. This is probably
going to be a VERY sad day for me... truly a wrench.
Ah well cest la vie.

Greetings Peter The brakes I used are Magura, a popular and robust example which are mid price. Frankly any of the popular makes will do as the mounting holes are an industry standard. You will have to make up some brackets and spacers and be careful that the calipers dont rub on the tires. On mine ...

Greetings Peter, definitely the best mod I did (G ASXI) was bicycle hydraulic brakes. The were a fiddle to set up but once sorted are great. They will hold me at full throttle on tarmac. Others I would recommend are the bungee mod , some sort of adjustable trim tab, Jabiru engine (electric start!!!)...

Neil...your a bit of an engineer on the side a'rnt you. 8) Sound advice as I fell foul to this one couple of years ago. I would't however recommend Helicoils. There is a much better but similar system (cant remember the name) which consists of a solid threaded insert, Threads on inside and outside, ...

A BOAT.....!!!!
What have you been smoking.

All the best,
Pat

Nice one Peter, :D I was down at Paul Grellier's on Monday whilst organizing the permit for my Nipper G ASXI, which I keep at the strip just 1 mile up the road (Barton Ashes) It looks like you will have a nice little project on the go there. Let me know next time you are down at Paul's and we can or...

Paul, great report ,made interesting reading. Well done I am sorry I was unable to make it this year...I put a spike through my radio and gps and fried them both. :( still haven't worked out why (I think the anti surge capacitor on the voltage reg is suspect???) G-ASXI is still up for sale for vario...
