Hi Des,

Please excuse the tardy response but, unfortunately, Darren is out of the country at the moment. I am his partner in FE and can confirm that the aircraft is still for sale. If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to get back to me.

Neil,

I will post the information you requested when I can get home and check the paperwork...!

Hi Neil

G-CCFE
Empty weight = 207kg
Empty CofG = 274mm (aft of datum)

George

Thanks for that George, those are good weights/CofG, plenty useable.....I thought it would be heavier than that with the tip-tanks etc.
Good luck with the sale, I don't think you should have a problem.
All the best,
Neil

Hi Guys,

Is this nipper still for sale? I cant see evidence of it changing hands but accept the post is quite old now!

Cheers

Hi there, I'm now the new owner of this Nipper having picked her up a couple of weeks ago as detailed on the General forum, very happy with it I am too!

Good luck in your search for a Nipper.
