Hi :)
hi
Hi
Hi your the best!
also im a very small youtuber!
My friend, I usually don't leave comments, but I just wanted to say thank you. As a child I was obsessed with aircraft. I got my pilots license at 19 and never looked back. At 63 I am disabled and am un able to renew my license. I am relegated to RC aircraft and am particularly inspired to build an experimental light aircraft thanks to your videos. Thank you again for all your hard work, and yes, it takes a lot of work to put together a series of youtube videos. Cheers!
Well, gentleman, you're not ordinary.
"Relegated", lol...
🤔👍
thats sick! dont give up, you're a special guy!
You have a successful life
*Literally anything that comes off the ground*
Peter Sripol: WOAAHHHH
Epic
It would be silly if it wasn't honest. But you know that's what his brain is really saying.
@@rickrussell i like your name
I wonder how he felt when he jumped for the first time
How to earn Peter Sripol’s respect: Jump.
I felt like a kid watching this, clearly you felt the same making it! Also, can't wait for the Louis Chicken slapper!
So upset that he hasn't uploaded it yet. Also upset realizing I haven't subscribed to you yet. I will rectify this when he uploads the video.
Peter Stripol and the guys at Flite Test are my two favorite channels.
I'm so hype, I can't wait to see the final chicken slap video. May his slaps echo throughout the ages.
@@bhutwheyttherismor86 It's COMING! Promise - the edit is SO close to done
hope you do something similar
Peter: “im gonna make something you can build at home”
Proceeds to use custom 3-d printed parts.... 🙁
F
EeEeEeEe
f
thats what im thinkign
@Baqca Sanke If you want to make stuff at home, then why don't you have a 3D printer? It is wayyy cheaper than all the wood or metalworking tools you'd need otherwise. If you really can't afford one I would recommend getting a job instead of watching youtube.
Honestly the best part of this video for me was seeing how happy the guy gets with each successively better flight
Peter: Builds an actual plane that he can fly in "yeh it flies pretty well i guess its cool" Also peter: builds a rubberband and foamslice helicopter "whhooaaa its amazing!!"
nah its like one of those things that as a kid you wanted to do but cant and now an adult but can do it
The love of flying is flying.
Such serious comments :D
That's why I love this guy. He's like a little kid with engineering skills.
Right!😹💀
Peter: you can do this at home
Me: can I borrow your 3D printer please
you should search your name on youtube :P
Don’t forget the laser cutter
Eh. 3D printers can be found for less than $200, that's quite cheap for what it is.

POST A VIDEO
2:48 flies after touching my newspaper
I bet if you tried variations of rubber band, or other types of rubber (like from an exercise band or something) you could increase your fly time. This looks like a fun project!
Not going to lie, that intro hit me right in the feels :'(
Does this prove time travel?

Seeing him that happy and excited makes me happy
I love how excited you get even when you've done much bigger projects, flight is so fascinating to us isn't it
I would love to see this revisited but with using a small motor and capacitor instead of the rubber band. It could possibly be lighter by removing the heavy rubber and the vertical wood spar
Peter: Builds 4 ultralights
Also Peter: “I feel like the Wright Brothers, only with Toy Helicopters!”
Nice one!
Lol
And on my own.

11:38, for anyone wondering. That's a DARK sense of humour. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_flights
@@ropersonline being that his family comes from Thailand, it wouldn't surprise me if Peter has zero patience for communists.
That is impressive, given the constraints of the (usually) standard main rotor/tail rotor set up.
I really liked how it flew, then banked, then flew, the banked, until it began to run out of power and just landed. Pretty cool for something that has no external control system.
That reminds me of the Frisbeetarian cult, and their belief that "When you die your soul go on the roof and gets stuck."
And visited only by passing pigeon gods.

Peter: Launches 20 times and it immediately flies toward the building.
Peter: "I wasn't expecting that"
a ridable air plane: *brakes* yeah I was expecting that
Peter: Says you can make it at home.
Me: *Cries in no 3d printer*
:(
same.
You don't need one, go to your local hobby shop and buy some balsa wood, and they should probably have some pulleys that would work for the tail rotor.
“It flies like WOOOOOO” never change Peter! 😆
I appreciate Peter's child-like glee. That is exactly what I feel when goofing around with flying toys. It's kinda magical, you know?
I love these vids. They have been inspiring me to do diy stuff at home. Recently I built my own diy hovercraft out of foam board, a trash bag, and an old mini quad. Thank you
He’s come back when the world needed him most
Ah yes reminded me that as a kid I blew out my parents ceiling lamp with one of these bad boys
Or destroyed the heli itselft.
YOU ARE THE MOST CREATIVE PEOPLE WHO I KNOW!!!
Heh i from poland and my name is peter xd =peterpol put there sri and now is petersripol
Since your main rotor is spinning clockwise, the reason your helicopter keeps turning left (yaw) is because your tail rotor isn’t producing enough force to compensate. If you slightly increased the pitch if that tail rotor or got it to spin slightly faster that will alleviate that left yaw
Or put a slightly longer stick if it doesn't affect the weight balance too much.
Next Video: "I flew across the Atlantic in my homemade helicopter!"
I doubt he'd build a human carrying one. Theyre expensive, complex, and MUCH more can go wrong.
@@NeoIsrafil he built a drone and plane that carries him tho
XD peter getting the rubber band stuck in his hair made me laugh so hard
LMAOOOOOO IM Dying
I used to be a helicopter mechanic. On our helos the main rotor turned at 203 rpm. and the tail rotor was at 3030 rpm. If you play with the pulley ratio you should make the tail rotor more effective. May I recommend an o-ring for the connection between the pulleys.
Peter Sripol can you build a snow plane? You're an awesome creator, and I think it would be a cool throwback to a simpler time!
That intro clip got me. Also peter you say you don't do anything for patreon members. Thats not true. You do more than many others do and give us early access. Plus you burned our names in your table. So don't worry about it.
thanks man, I could be better at replying to DM's there lol but I'm a lazy POS so i figure something you can build is better!
@@PeterSripol Cheer yourself up

Can't wait for the next episode already! keep up the amazing work peter! hope you are staying safe, goodbye for now.
OMG NO WAY
I SWEAR ON MY LIFE I HAD THAT EXACT SAME RC HELICOPTER WHEN I WAS 9
I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS DUDE I REALIZED IT WAS THE SAME CUZ OF THE REMOTE CONTROL AND THE DESIGNS OF THE HELICOPTER OMG U BROUGHT BACK MY CHILDHOOD
i had the red model it was so fun to play with
8:48 That is the funniest thing on earth.
J
Hi Peter, this is truly amazing, I am filled with great childhood nostalgia watching this. Im going to try making one.
Even tho my 8 year old dog died today, this still made me happy
It's 1:30am here. I'm supposed to be asleep.
My parents don't know I'm awake.
R.I.P
Aw thats sad
Hope youre doin alright
Louis Weisz is the guest star we needed but didn't deserve
im only like less than 4 minutes in an i already know this path leads to peter building a light weight helicopter that he can fly himself.
TBH it would be a relief from all of the "hovercraft" videos that are basically heavy weight drones strong enough to lift a person. to a straight up aerodynamics lesson in how to lift more than a person, in a vertical direction, while keeping the same directional facing.
Great vid! hyper-interesting! One note about "Further" and "Farther". Always use "farther" when talking about actual distance. For example: "With the remaining windings on this rubber band, the helicopter could have flown much farther." Use "further" when it's a verb as in "To further my in-home education, I subscribed to an online documentary series". Also user "further" when you are talking about degree. "The further I get into my project, the more money I have to borrow from David." All good wishes.
Something we can build at home? i kindly dissagree my friend, however this is incredible to watch and has me thinking.
You can absolutely build this at home. Go to your local hobby shop and buy some balsa wood and get to work. It's fun!
You did it, you actually did it. I have never seen such a successful flight for a rubberband helicopter.
Peter's a little cuter when _he's_ smoked some grass. That's organized.
Best part of the vdo was the plane landing towards end of the vdo, Straight into Car's boot space.. 🤣🤣✌️❤️
I had a good laugh when you glued the blades down and bumped the exhilarator bottle and spilled it , how many time we have all done that. Lol
Interesting development process! Watched in wonder and awe through the whole thing. I did helicopters too but mine were a tiny bit bigger than yours. Ended up as head of future projects of a small outfit where our Lynx held the world speed record for helicopters. Our helicopters had semi-rigid rotors actuated by dangleberries so didn't have those wambly teetering rotor things. Two technical points....one you seem to have solved but may have reneged on, and that is the top tail rotor blade should rotate aft .... and the other relates to when I used to teach helicopter flight performance at uni, and that is it is pointless to get too complicated in the flower arranging department since helicopters fly simply because they are so ugly that the earth rejects them. Nice project....congratulations.
Maybe try a spring coil with a gear reduction system. The gears can also be ratcheted so you can tighten with drill without spinng the blades. A copper spring from a clock should be good for weight...
*LIKE THIS SO PETER CAN SEE THIS GUYS!!*
*DO IT NOW!!*
„Now we‘re gonna put our sport rubber on“ lol
Xin chào bạn
Mechanic stability is so much cooler than electronic I’m so glad u explained the flybar
i used to play with rubber band power planes when i was kid. wanted a rc airplane too but couldnt afford it when i was a kid. Glad ur still pursuing ur hobbies
i clicked so fast, my finger's mass approached infinity
lmao xD
Great Video! Love the intro..
I saw this on Louis Weisz stream!
Something I made about 20 years ago was an r/c helo with a pusher prop and rudder. I used a hinged main rotor and mounted two tiny out-runner motors on the fly bars, each chasing the other, offsetting any angular momentum, which would otherwise be present, were the rotor driven by stationary means. It worked pretty well.
You made a reference to the African Aviation Program. The best ever.
"Nice work", keep going, I'd like to see you make an twin prop chinook chopper
that would be fun to watch.
"Unlike my girls on Tinder" Lmfao
99% Of the dislikes are from boomers.
Why would you dislike such a awesome video
Rubberband abuse
you can control the tail more precisely using gear reduction, also position the fly bar on top of the blades with lead weights, flybar needs to have heavy tips. i have designed a working version few years back and flew amazing, well done, love the balsa propeller idea
There's a potential patent right there... Rubber band powered heli!
Is it just me or should Peter and Michael Reeves do a collab??
Now I can do my greatest plan in miniature.
Peter Should Build A Real Helicopter Instead Of Planes
@@Thomas-nc9fz really? never would have thought that?
Show them Africans how it's done!
Show them Africans how it's done!
@@camdenweirich to properly control an helicopter you need to be able to control the pitch of the rotor blades in all axis while they are rotating (and you need to keep this control synchronized with the rotating speed), so it's just horrifyingly complicated....
@@camdenweirich Yeah, real helicopters function much differently than toys (in less than obvious ways). The RPM of the rotors on a real helicopter stays the same through the entire flight, and the amount of lift is changed by tilting the rotors, much like how airplane ailerons tilt to change the amount of lift. And the linkages that connect the two rotors to the motor can be very complex. There's a reason you see lots of homebuilt airplanes fly, and very few homebuilt helicopters flying. They're also MUCH harder to control
0:13 Don't you love how Peter thinks we're all privileged enough to own 3D printers and laser cutters?
Well Done!!! my son wants it for christmas!!!!! He preffers something like this rather than a bought in a store one!!!! So cool!!!!
Request: please make the airship from Henry stickman
(Like so he can see please)
That would be cool
Yes
9:54 I READ "PINOCHET'S HELICOPTERS TOUR" OMG
I WAN'T THE A380
Need to reduce the pitch of the rotor at the tips. Form them on a larger diameter form and offset up to 15 degrees. Static balance the rotor. This was fun to watch.
Creativity, curiosity, passion, and joy. There is hope for us all, so long as people like you exist.
"Wicked slim Unlike my girls on tinder" 🤣😂🤣😂 I couldn't breathe for a solid minute after he said that
It so seems peter can do anything. He is unstoppable. But... crazy idea.
can he make a port-a-potty, fly?
The most coolest thing about these are if the tail rotor works to this man
Can you try out a variant of this design where the rubber band is horizontal like a plane but instead of a propeller connected to the front, you put a 3d printed bevel gear system which will drive the main and the tail rotor. The system will have more energy losses than the current system, but you can compensate for it by a larger rubber band possibly increasing the flight time.
Green soap and glycerine as a lube for the rubber will both allow more winds to be put in and make the strands last longer. There is less inter-strand friction and abrasion with that.
Peck polymers used to make some. Not in business now cant get them. Happy to see you made one for yourself man!
So fun to watch Peter have fun btw wouldn't it be cool if he made a stealth bomber that dropped stuff
the fact he is amazed by an independently flying aircraft in which he makes rc aircrafts is just wow
It wasn't until 1:40 until I realized what the tail rotor does on a helicopter. Thanks 👍
When it comes to the fan, you would think Peter would have learned his lesson by now. : )
I LOVED this video. Had lots drama, comedy, suspenseful and VERY entertaining.
I had a flip flop toy like you made out of the wallet boxes as a kid in the 70's I loved it!
Only now spotted that big aquarium in the background! Nice, I also have planted aquariums.
You need to build some kind of shroud for that ceiling fan! Because it seems to eat quite a few prototypes !
I thought this would be a good kiwico project! Glad to see you're sharing the designs 👍
Love your channel so much! Is so interesting and so much fun!
Also just bought a Dango wallet, they are pretty cool too. Mine has some leather and a bottle opener. Going to have to check it the rigid though!
