Pwllheli
Can anyone point me towards an available strip for a visit to Pwllheli (North Wales). I know I can use Caernarfon but it's a fair trek down proper old donkey-tracks from Caernarfon to Pwllheli. I only need 300 metres of half-decent grass or even just a well-mown reasonably flat meadow! For those of ...

I can confirm that the 'complete' set of plans for a Nipper I have here is complete except for the fuselage drawings..... From my understanding, the solution suggested by Colin C above is currently not permitted by the LAA. The Tipsy Nipper does however feature on the LAA "Type for Homebuilt List - ...
