The Tipsy Nipper

A fun scalemodel from the Belgium built Tipsy Nipper

The Tipsy Nipper is a design for people who love to built but don't wan't to cut and shape to much.

all parts are cnc cut and just a few parts need to be shaped to form (leading edge, fuselage parts), It has a clear canopy and cowl

So painting the cowl from the inside gives a durable shine, the rest of the plane is coverd in oracover or solarfilm.

A undercarriage is added to the kit and the Nipper is capable of ROG

The Nipper can be flown with rudder and elevator only and a moderate beginner can fly the plane, for the more expirienced

ailerons can be fitted, and coupled with the ruddder gives excelent aerobatic performance.

The Tipsy Nipper can be flown with the Graupner speed 400 7,2 or 6v 1:1,85 gearbox and 8 cells or more.

is only 660 grams.

For more aerobatic performance the speed 400 1:1,85 6 volts is fitted with the 8x4 slim prop, this gives great ROG and flashing snap rols
