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...

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

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

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?

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