??? - The Tipsy Nipper
This view of the Tipsy Nipper show the excellent finish of the aircraft. The neatly-cowled Volkswagen engine drives the small-diameter propeller on a direct-drive shaft. The engine is gravity-fed from a tank situated immediately in front of the wind-screen.
The photograph shows some details of the simple, sturdy undercarriage, the mainwheels of which are equipped with brakes. The nosewheel is steerable and coupled with the rudder.
