I think I still prefer the Tipsy Junior to the Nipper....as the Nipper looks like it has a discontination of spar integrity the way it mounts to the fuselage.....probably not, but it looks that way.....its always been a bit of a bother to build it as a free-flight model because of that....

Looks like a Zenith 601 (or 701?) which stayed in the washing machine too long...

Hi Bjorn...!
It's much nicer than that daft Dornier you've got in your signature...
...and much cheaper to run....trust me... ;)...!
There's nothing cheaper to run than a 2 cylinder Volkswagen engine...
...fitted to a Tipsy Nipper.... 8)...!
...and so much fun... ;D...!
LOL...LOL...LOL...!

Cheers Bjorn... ;D...!

Paul.

P.S. I've instructed our fire crew to drench you with water from our new fire tender...so there... >:(...!

Err Paul how do you get into something that tiny? Do you need to be a yoga master or something? ;D

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Sorry Bjorn...!
I give up...!
Maybe I'll stick to Cessna 152 Aerobat instead...!
...but I'll tell you what, my little Tipsy Nipper is a serious little devil when it comes to flitting around the sky.... ;)...!
Try it, you'll like it...
..perhaps... ::)...?

LOL...!

Cheers Bjorn... ;D...!

Paul.

P.S. Maybe tomorrow I might excite you with a pic, or two, of the Nipper in my hangar...
Now doesn't that make you wonder what delights are in store for you... ;)...?
...my nipper in it's hangar... ;)....?
The mind boggles... ;D...!

I've got a Hummelbird for flitting around the sky,so why should I need a Nipper...but as far as I can see,this thing doesn't look too bad...does the FS version have a virtual cockpit?

P.S. Maybe tomorrow I might excite you with a pic, or two, of the Nipper in my hangar...
Now doesn't that make you wonder what delights are in store for you... ;)...?


Sure,but please wait with that until Sept 1st (see note below my avatar). ;)

PAUL! There might be people reading this forum who aren't 18 yet!!!  >:(
(But a very nice joke!  ;D)
(The hangar of Jordan Aeronatutics?  ;) ;D)
