Yes; flying again! One suggestion: I think your aircraft's windshield = troubles. Large downwards force on the nose, major wind resistance, and turbulent air going to the propeller and tail. Make it small and smooth, go sit a bit more leaning backward.

You did a great job with this video. The editing was great and the story telling was entertaining. You're really starting to find your own style. I think you will start getting a lot more views if you keep this up. The plane is cool too.
Sckupz if you look at the interior of the plane, you can see only one gauge for airspeed (I think). Usually the place where the gauges are placed are called the instrument panel, and since there is one gauge it is extremely simple. I hope this helps. Edit: if you pause at 2:45, that is the panel I’m referring to.

You need to ditch that airbrake windscreen (though it will be giving you some nose-down pitch help presently) - either no windscreen or at least a more aerodynamic one with neutral pitch/yaw moments.
@@XalconKugelBlitz With todays access of information and the excess of available materials, Id dare to say that most people are able to build a plane, the problem is, most people dont have access to space or money to do so... Like sure for this dude its content. For majority it would be waste of resources.
WOW!! I've seen you make model airplanes, boats, rockets, and modifying drones....but I never thought that you would build an ultralight!! I humbly bow to you good sir! That is AWESOME!! Teach me lol. PLEASE!!
Have you noticed that boeing 737 max has a shit load of instruments and they crashed twice in a year this plane has 1 and never crashed, really makes you think doesn't it
Virat Vaid I kind of get what he’s saying though. I think Boeing made the 737 max way to complicated with systems like the MCAS designed to override something a basic private pilot should know how to avoid (an inadvertent stall). If you know the basics this airplane is so simplistic you’ll virtually never get into trouble.
Respect for chasing the dream of aviation. Recommend you consider getting a Sport Aircraft rating or even your Private Pilot ratings if you don't have them. You'll learn some invaluable information that will keep you safe and probably help you with your builds.
AMAZING!! I've been watching since day one of the first build, so it's really exciting to see this come to fruition! Also, pardon my ignorance, but would adding VGs and possibly winglets help with the underpower/prop pitch issue by increasing wing efficiency/reducing stall speed?
@@mechanicalamateur1664 Nope. Ultralight class doesnt require a license. Having said that, it's easy to screw up and die. Wind on a light aircraft can toss you around and be very unforgiving. Whatever you do dont just jump into this, approach it very carefully. I recommend taking some flight lessons and asking a lot of questions while in the air related to your goal from whoever the pilot is. You wont know every question to ask related to your goal, so ask the pilot to tell you the answers to the questions you dont even know to ask.

Perhaps it’s not nose heavy but instead the high mounted propeller creating a moment around the CG causing the plane to pitch down when throttling up. This is a common issue with seaplanes when flying.
I've been flying for 34 years (30 for a living) and every once in a while, I have an urge to go fly something like your home made creation. I lie down and wait til that urge goes away...
So, very cool you where a pilot but why we need to know? at least this man is doing what he loves and has the optimal trust in the builds that he creates as a technician. The world needs more people like this, how do you think the brothers Wright came up into the air?? you really think somebody then was shouting at the side somethings about safety precautions and helmets? Without those guys ever existed you wouldn't be a pilot in the first place so please go lie on your couch and be quiet.
Thank you finally someone who understands that this is just a cheap excuse for flying. He should just go get his license and buy a piper for 15 grand. And if he really wants to go bigger he should buy a Mooney m20c like I have. It’s 1000 times more fun than going 500 feet in a airplane that does 50 miles an hour that’s literally the stall speed of my plain.
ProFlare ak I think for him it’s a lot of the engineering that is interesting. He doesn’t care how high or fast he flies as long as he can get the satisfaction that the machine, he built with his own hands, can fly. If he were interested in buying a plane he would do that, he’s interested in building and coming up with his own designs and seeing if they work. On top of that, it’s not very entertaining to watch a dude just fly a plane but when it’s home built, it’s different.
My compliments to you and Dad's workmanship... looks like it would be more a climber and at a lower RPM w/ just a bit larger engine, and that adjustable trim prop. Great Camera work Holly.
"nose heavy," "drag," "underpowered," "Doesn't want to climb" Look at your windscreen deflect, and it's incidence to the air. It's a canard fully pushing the air up, nose down, and stealing the prop's clean air. Think motorcycle not jib sail.
Excellent point, it is like a barn door and it will effect the flying angle, but the drag and wash/turbulence over the prop would be really bad. If you want a screen, make it much smaller and curve it to deflect around. Best of luck and well done getting this far 😀
I am sure you know - an aft CG is very dangerous. Being a little nose heavy is much safer than being a little tail heavy. I hope that the the high thrust line has not fooled you into thinking that the nose is too heavy. I think you would also benefit from lowering the front of the engine mount structure so that the thrust line comes closer to the CG - ideally, the thrust line should pass through the CG. Hard to do with a top mounted pusher but you could come closer - and that would reduce the amount of nose down pitch-over under power. Should something go wrong requiring you to use your BRS, I would be very concerned that you would be able to find that handle behind your head during the chaos of an emergency. Your life would literally depend upon finding that handle. I would recommend getting an extension and put that handle either beside you or in front of you. 12:33 Lastly, please remember to pull the pin (that red tag that says "remove before flight") on the BRS handle before flight. It is easier to remember to do this if it is within your view when seated, and it definitely should be on your checklist. You do have a checklist, right?
I'm curious here, why would you want nose heavy over tail heavy? Is it because in the event you weren't paying attention the plane would stall if it was tail heavy?
@@FurryKeidran98 If the nose is a little heavy then you have to put more back pressure on the stick (or trim it out) to remain in level flight but the aircraft is very stable. If tail heavy the pitch control will be very twitchy and you risk stalling - and with an aft CG you may not be able to recover from the stall.
@@HarmanRobotics Especially considering he has a T-tail configuration too. He could get into a deep stall configuration. An AFT CG wouldn't help him any in that scenario. Doubtful he could get into one of those states though. Thankfully that engine is providing a stable thrust component too, so even if it were possible, hopefully the moment would be strong enough to get him out. Looking at it more, I seriously doubt a deep stall is possible. The thrust line looks to be nearly parallel to the elevator/horizontal stabilizer. Good note about BRS too! I didn't even notice the pin.
That is actually a thing in some gliders and ultra lights. When I was a teen I was in the CAP and when I would do glider flights we weren’t allowed to wear our boots to save weight. Every pound counts.
Some more years later: my intergalactic FTL engine powered flying saucer works as expected. Although, I feel some turbulence at 98,7853% of light speed.
Brother , You are a hero to a lot of kids and fully grown men like myself , I appreciate the motivation we all get from your adventurous attitude! God speed
I found Peter's channel recently. I went to show it to my 10-year-old son, as he's really into stuff like this. He already knew about every single project of Peter's. 😅
Peter, as you are likely aware, the high thrust line will generate a significant pitch-down moment, making the elevator feel nose heavy requiring constant back pressure on the stick to maintain level flight and creating additional drag and slowing you down. Rather than relying on the "guess and by golly" method, I strongly suggest you calculate the c.g using scales and a tape measure, (reference datum, weight x arm = moment). Depending on your chosen wing section, as a rule of thumb, c.g is generally at 25% - 30% wing section chord. A thick section such as a Clark Y, as your wing appears, results in a larger pitch-down moment as well (Refer to "Theory of Wing Sections by Abbot & Doenhof - Amazon~$17). A simple method to determine whether these factors are correct is to reduce power to idle, then check the feel. Ideally, properly rigged and a correct c.g, it should fly hands off in a glide (positive static stability). Also very important is positive dynamic stability. (Return to level stabilized flight with few or no oscillations following a pitch disturbance). A lower thrust line (at or below the lateral axis) will add a pitch up moment as power is added, but not easily accomplished with the low ground clearance and configuration of your plane. Relative wing - stabilizer incidence is also an important factor. Believe me, as an Aeronautical Engineer, aircraft design using the "T.L.A.R." (That Looks About Right) method is playing with fire. Good to see you took some safety precautions - seat belt/ harness, and helmet, and parachute. Thankfully, you were not injured - or worse. Would be tragic for someone with your talent. God luck with your future endeavors, and stay safe.

Not to sound like a random ad, but Airdrome Aeroplanes already produces lots of easy to build kits, including ultralights, based on classic WWI era planes. All designed by an aeronautics engineer. They're pretty cool! I have often dreamed of getting their 3/4 scale E-III ultralight.
I remember a few videos back he was saying that the Center or pressure was just slightly below the motor so it would only cause a slight downwards force. That’s why he has the t-tail configuration.

very cool seeing you and your dad working together. He must be proud to the point of tears everyday of his son.....your brother
Peter in couple years:
My homemade jumbojet actually flies but nose is still a bit heavy.
Peter 2030-"My homemade real marvell's plane flys at lightspeed but the nose is a little heavy"
Sorry Oprah back to economy
More years later:
My homemade spaceship works great but now I have to put some tape because it got air leaks
Trimming will balance it out tho
Some more years later: my intergalactic FTL engine powered flying saucer works as expected. Although, I feel some turbulence at 98,7853% of light speed.
4:57 I thought the shoes were to move back the CG.. 😂
10 Produz me too
So did I
Me too and I was surprised he didn’t put them behind him to move c g rearward.
The Area 51 raid now has air cover!
Yeah boi
HELL YEAH WE NEED TO STRAP NUKES TO PETRES PLANE
@@MrPingis genius strap Minecraft sand to the bottom
@@2ndchannell Even better, tnt dupers
@@OliverR3987 no droppers with baby zombie spawn eggs
The fact Peter’s homemade plane has a ground clearance of 70m or more is so insane.

That looks amazing man and I wish I could make one of those plane for myself
I build rc as well. This would be an awesome project
k0p it’s over 15k that’s why.
TheBloodMango that’s cheap for a plane
Your the last of a dying breed. Keep doing amazing things , keep your mind right and keep having fun.
Brother , You are a hero to a lot of kids and fully grown men like myself , I appreciate the motivation we all get from your adventurous attitude! God speed
I found Peter's channel recently. I went to show it to my 10-year-old son, as he's really into stuff like this. He already knew about every single project of Peter's. 😅
Zombie apocalypse **happens**
Him: *builds cardboard airplane with a 30mm machine gun*
Recoil would kill him, why not 15mm?
Nose heavy lol
@@mist_kylefire6290 Counter balance it with another one on the back lmao
Imagine doing a diving with that thing
No he would use the flamethrower he built with the firetruck
Peter Sripol: Builds a homemade airplane that flies.
Also Peter Sripol: Duct tapes GoPro to helmet.
Well I mean, both are half-assed things.
Zarze99 how half-assed can a homemade airplane really be? I mean, I make paper airplanes for fun, that’s half assed, but stripes earns my respect
@@braedoncottrell5389 lmao
Peter, as you are likely aware, the high thrust line will generate a significant pitch-down moment, making the elevator feel nose heavy requiring constant back pressure on the stick to maintain level flight and creating additional drag and slowing you down.
Rather than relying on the "guess and by golly" method, I strongly suggest you calculate the c.g using scales and a tape measure, (reference datum, weight x arm = moment).
Depending on your chosen wing section, as a rule of thumb, c.g is generally at 25% - 30% wing section chord. A thick section such as a Clark Y, as your wing appears, results in a larger pitch-down moment as well (Refer to "Theory of Wing Sections by Abbot & Doenhof - Amazon~$17).
A simple method to determine whether these factors are correct is to reduce power to idle, then check the feel. Ideally, properly rigged and a correct c.g, it should fly hands off in a glide (positive static stability). Also very important is positive dynamic stability. (Return to level stabilized flight with few or no oscillations following a pitch disturbance).
A lower thrust line (at or below the lateral axis) will add a pitch up moment as power is added, but not easily accomplished with the low ground clearance and configuration of your plane. Relative wing - stabilizer incidence is also an important factor. Believe me, as an Aeronautical Engineer, aircraft design using the "T.L.A.R." (That Looks About Right) method is playing with fire.
Good to see you took some safety precautions - seat belt/ harness, and helmet, and parachute.
Thankfully, you were not injured - or worse. Would be tragic for someone with your talent.
God luck with your future endeavors, and stay safe.
HEY THAT'S AWESOME!
Paint your instruments panel black so it won't reflect so much on your canopy
U should do formation flight with that and your rc planes
I think his plane is faster or the wind off his plane would effect the rc planes
2051 Peter: Here's my slightly overbudget airbus
Facts
Even tho this reply is 4 years later from your comment I agree
You are the King I felt like i was in the cockpit with you Great stuff. Look after yourself Don't take any chances trust your instinct
You make me want to get in to aeronautical engineering. this is soo cool
WTH?
Guy builds airplane in his garage and flies free.
Now this other guy wants to go to school to be put in a cage.
kristos kalemanis ?
@@kristoskalemanis You know, it get some scholar skill to design a plane.
@@alexandrechatty5439 I understand that it takes education but most likely it will detour this person from doing something like this.
Schooling gets in the way of most education.
In situations like this you must ask yourself: how much schooling did Howard Hughes have?
@@kristoskalemanis well I'm pretty sure Peter has an engineering degree…
Bloody brilliant - those magnificent men in their flying machines.......you have just joined that echelon
When you’ve just downloaded War Thunder and it’s your first match
LOL
so true.
This is his third match
lmao
and here i was thjnking i was the only one playing war thunder besides phlydaily
The wright brothers would be very proud of you
8:05 I love the custom go-pro mount.
From rc to the real thing it’s always fun watching this channel grow.
incredible man. watched all five vids and they were all great. amazing ingenuity. I fly for the airlines and would get huge thrill from flying that thing. open air, no instruments, pure flying
Very cool dude but that drone might take you out
when a man can build his own airplane but mounts his Go Pro with tape XD
ait got time for more than that!
Actually, he makes more money not doing it because of comments and algorithm ;)
Einstein couldn’t do math at times.
Akilesh Reddy good argument but the true story was einstein was too intellegent for his class so he had a 5 in math because the math he had to do in school was just too simple for him...
@@tvthecat AND it's effective and cheap
Pete...hurry up and get a kit manufactured so I can fly one before I kick the bucket.
Not to sound like a random ad, but Airdrome Aeroplanes already produces lots of easy to build kits, including ultralights, based on classic WWI era planes. All designed by an aeronautics engineer. They're pretty cool! I have often dreamed of getting their 3/4 scale E-III ultralight.
With all the safety Czar's we have today. It's very refreshing to see someone with the cojones to fly with coroplast, foam and duct tape. Well done!
It's not nose heavy, you just have your thrust above the center-line.
I agree, his center of thrust is above his center of mass and lift.
Correct, and the thrust line should be angled downwards more - easy to accomplish by shortening the front support structure.
I remember a few videos back he was saying that the Center or pressure was just slightly below the motor so it would only cause a slight downwards force. That’s why he has the t-tail configuration.
His huge balls make it nose heavy
Make your own plane . Fucking idiots.
Steven he: oh look! Free food, we be EATIN DOG RAMEN TONIGHT
He’ll probably end up making the 797 before Boeing does 😂😂😂
DAM that song fit SOOO perfectly in with the shots taken
Its a bit more worrying that the name of the song is mayday.
What's even MORE worrying is when you know the lyrics of the song and know it's about space and getting stranded in the void
I miss your content on Flite Test. The 'Bushwhacker' is still one of my favorite planes EVER !
Technology is ramping up on the western front
What an accomplishment. Never been into flying but looks like something you really have a passion for and pursued it.
Wow, 100 episodes, 3 ultralights, time flies!
I've watched a lot of Mark Patey's work, so I can appreciate your (collective) hard work!
That is so cool! You're a really smart dude!!! I could actually feel the excitement when you were up in the air. (your flight was totally mood)
Congratz Peter, your dreams are becoming a reality. I love your ingenuity and attitude.
All the best.
Ben.
few years from now our boi Peter will have his own line of aircraft ;) :D
I hope it happens
I’ll buy one
Das ist Balsam für die Seele. Das ist Genuss pur. ❤️❤️❤️
It is balm for the soul. That is pure enjoyment. ❤️❤️❤️
Next make an air traffic control tower with a working radio system for your dog
Plz like so he can see
And here I was just gonna suggest a wind-sock...
Great job Peter ,so cool I relay enjoyed it . Thanks man!!!

This is my final installment of mk9 lunar rover.
You are a very intelligent young man and extremely motivated. More of your generation needs to see how you roll!
Your workshop place is literally my kind of heaven. Awesome video bro.
Same I would kill to have something like that
@Armando Silvier Probably not?
@Armando Silvier yeah I'm not commenting on this anymore

Is that your old man helping with things? Made me smile. He must be a proud Father.
Build a glider! And show us how to use thermals!
Just fly in circles when you think you're in a thermal until you are as high as you want....
Been looking at those
@FalasiGamerツ I ment sail plane, but that would be awesome too!!!
I did that, I am at 10500 ft in my thumbnail. It was a great 2 hr flight!
I think you may have forgotten to throw THEFATRAT's link in the description for the song. Great video, btw!
great job, wonderful creativity with all your videos. living the dream :)
That is awesome man..in a beautiful sunset I like it..good job man
