Please excuse if this appears naive. I have only recently read of Jabiru engined Tipsy Nippers are these Nipper mark IV ? Who holds design authority for them?, are they new build or conversions? How many are there in U.K. / rest of europe?
Sorry it is all questions, they are a bit lighter than my normal sphere of interest, but I am trying to learn !
Thanks in anticipation

Sorted. I wonder how nose-heavy a Jab Nipper is? Can the airframe take it?

P.S. The Rotax is not aerobatic rated the Jabiru is so I believe.
