Good job son. I'm an 80 yrs old retired bush pilot. I'm old school and would rather be flying a Legal Eagle with combustion or electric power. I trust the tubular air frame. Also would prefer a pusher like a Kolb. Be less high speed bugs in your mouth. Safer prop area and better ground clearance. I'm intriged about your cover material. I built a composite called the Rand's KR2 great little plane. Keep on trucking and stay safely rational as you are. You will live longer. 😅😅 Dandahermit
I've now seen youtubers making electric planes, jetpacks, self landing rockets, doing genetic engineering, and all on youtube budgets... This is a really cool time to be alive.
Thats just very very real my dear friend, the human has started to become more intelligent, the scientific stuffs that everyone it used to see so hard to apply, now can be easly fast to find and to build. There are a lot of cheap, strong and lightweight materials! You said well: This is really cool time to be alive!!
Hey could you do a video on the F-15? There’s a ton of history with that plane, and it would mean a lot because it’s my dad’s plane. If not that’s cool too.
Not Really crazy, he's a model builder, so he builds using standard construction practices and designs. Full size plane plans are shrunk down to build models, and small models of full size aircraft are built to test designs. Most plans scale up and down easily, and Peter builds to FAA rules and guidelines for homebuilt aircraft.
Hey Peter, random internet stranger here, I’ve been watching your content on and off since the days of making an RC Star destroyer with flight test and man to say it’s been a long time is an understatement. I wanted to say thank you because this exact video inspired me to look into the aviation feild as a career and just last week I was accepted to my 1st choice schools for both Aircraft maintenance and being a pilot! 🎉 Your content is my absolute favorite thing to see and the boat stuff is also fascinating.

Remind your instructor that every plane flies low and slow. It is called landing. Perfect landing is to stall the plane simultaneously to reaching zero altitude.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD the first part of my comment was a joke. The deal with most ultra lights is that the cruise speed and landing speed are not that far apart. I cant remember the model, but I remember one where the cruise speed was 40 and the landing speed was 25.
Did that back in 1990 with a group of friends and local flyers. We don't have it as good as Americans, so the entire construction was supervised by authorities.
Peter Sripol You are such a perfectionist; When you are happy with a project, there are literally millions of people around the world that are right alongside you sharing that joy. From the bottom of our hearts - WE LOVE YOU !
I will say that if there is one good reason to be a perfectionist it’s when your going to be flying a few hundred feet in the air with the thing your making

@@t-dogracingandoffroad3198 Fixed wings don't just drop out of the sky as soon as the engine cuts. Especially with a design like this one, they're very forgiving. Your worst enemy on a deadstick landing is actually picking your emergency landing spot.
@@bjboss1119 No, they are basically a flat plate covered with the same material as the wing about 4"x 2' or so hinged by sewing to the wing along the front and placed at the highest point of the wing profile. they are pulled up like a air brake. this spoils the lift on that wing causing it to drop and so you have a bank. the airflow keps the spoileron against the wing during normal flight
I like your safety first approach. That amazes me that good old polystyrene with a couple of aluminium tubes does the job so well. I hope you give it plenty of air miles before she needs tweeking.
This guy's literally a genius everytime casually making flights and testing for granted look at this man no parachute with, it's a first electronic flight I've seen which is also homemade
The energy potency is much higher in gas than a battery. If you magically turn all the power from a battery into it's equivalent in gas, it would be much less. You can take much less room and weight, or you can go electric. However, I do wonder why they don't use solar panels on the large planes as they would be right up there with the sun as they cruise above the clouds. That might help IDK but it's still not allot and it's an inconsistent variable. Just trust the experts.
'been watching since the Giant Cargo Plane days 😁 I remember thinking that was a big electric airplane but it has nothing on this bad boi. Can't wait to see the next evolutionary steps of your ultralight man! Smooth crisp and clean is certainly how I'd describe this one!
I once saw a farmer with a beat up ultralight and the smallest possible engine take off after he added his “pilot seat.” It was a lawn chair with a bottle of probably beer in the cup holder. Live free people, like the farmer I saw.
He is a brilliant designer and he knows what he's doing. I wish he talked about the batteries a little bit. Maybe it's in an earlier video I can't find

@@MrSpying247 FliteTest (spelled this way). It's another UA-cam channel that Peter was on way back in the day. You'll have to go way back in their videos to see him. It's entirely about RC stuff, mostly planes.
This is really impressive. Your talent and acute ingenuity are perfectly matched to your determination and confidence in your capacity. The courage to fly your creation comes as a natural consequence to you, but actually is something to be admired. Overall, your humble attitude denotes a maturity beyond your age. You most certainly are already making your family proud. We cannot even imagine what you will be capable of doing in the next 30 years. May you live long and show the way to those you will keep on inspiring. The planet needs more people like you.
I never appreciated my 60 in 1 back in the 80's. This is one of my death bed regrets. Although, I'm happy when people work hard and achieve their goals. Heck, I don't even care to fly...I just think it was great to see!

Man I've been waiting to see this video for what seems like ages , well ever since your mates one popped up on UA-cam. This may sound silly for a 52 year old man to say but I felt your elation when you got it sorted and flew it again . Congratulations.
OUTSTANDING job, you must be ecstatic and deservedly so. Not only did you achieve you're desired goal, your narration along the way is easy to follow along. Glad to find your videos and to be able to keep up with your progress.

Here's the thing: his brain is like everyone else's. Except he's been training his brain. You can do it too, provided you spend the time learning the required skills.
I feel like willpower is the most important thing for anything because at the end of the day if you don’t have the willpower to stick to something you won’t accomplish it
@I killed that beard guy sure. I was just focusing on ability and potential, because of the "big brain" comment.
@@rikuleinonen dont think you know what r/whoooosh means. that phrase was meant to be taken literally.
So your the reason I couldn’t pick up some play sand at Home Depot yesterday
i think he said that he already used those sands in the previous videos
@@CedWicked it’s a joke
R/wooooooosh
@@nicksirois1251 Bummer. You just ruined my fantasy!
i was gonna say that i was just joking, but i dont think you guys will believe me lol, laugh at me bois
Congratulations brother 🎉
I'm so glad you left FT to do this kind of thing. I know at the time it might not have been ideal, but the shit you've created since you left has been literally unbelievable. Keep it up man. You are winning at life.
Whats FT? Sorry i just found this channel.
@@MrSpying247 Flight Test bro, check them out, they are also cool sometimes.
@@MrSpying247 FliteTest (spelled this way). It's another UA-cam channel that Peter was on way back in the day. You'll have to go way back in their videos to see him. It's entirely about RC stuff, mostly planes.
Can we refer to this ultralight as "The Red Baron?"
2020 Electric Boogaloo
Yes yes we can
Its a monoplane... maybe convince @petersripol to build a triplane....
@@troyaschebrock4673 I'd say he should build a biplane first, see how that goes, and build up money for the triplane.
Fokker no
*Electro-swing at the beginning slapped hard brah*
Except for the song with the crying baby - great video!
I like the fact that he has painted it red, cuss we all know it gives you a +10% speed boost by default.
Cherry red gives the boost...
3x the speed boost!
red ones go faster, Waaaggghhhhh
Yeah but red also causes more noise... ;P
He didn't paint it.....
I continue to be hugely impressed by your work, great job man!
As a fellow pilot and youtuber, I would love to see the specifics for this plane. Speed, power, battery capacity, mass/weight, etc.
Yes
He lists the specs here: ua-cam.com/video/LjUgz5FHR90/v-deo.html
Yes
@@eric97402 wanted to see planes aaaannnnd now I definitely have a fart fetish lol
Rusty Shackleford bro W H Y
dude really trusted a bunch of metal and foam glued together with his life. i love it.
This is really impressive. Your talent and acute ingenuity are perfectly matched to your determination and confidence in your capacity. The courage to fly your creation comes as a natural consequence to you, but actually is something to be admired. Overall, your humble attitude denotes a maturity beyond your age. You most certainly are already making your family proud. We cannot even imagine what you will be capable of doing in the next 30 years. May you live long and show the way to those you will keep on inspiring. The planet needs more people like you.
I am impressed, I would enjoy flying that low and slow.
I never appreciated my 60 in 1 back in the 80's. This is one of my death bed regrets. Although, I'm happy when people work hard and achieve their goals. Heck, I don't even care to fly...I just think it was great to see!
Hey Buddy can u tell me the background music playing in this time period it's so soothing music 22:00
That's so so awesome man . Kudos to you . That is just so bad ass. You got a fan in me who will be replaying this and all your videos as I build my own lightweight . I've caught the bug for sure . Live it up bro...
GODSPEED,
MIKE
*survives first flight *
"That didn't go as well as I wanted it to!"
oh man I would count that as a win! xD
Great vid thanks! :D
There's such a steam punkish essence to this. Old time spirit of flying with modern electric power. Such spirit.
I felt proud after building my first PC. Meanwhile this Peter's building styrofoam airplanes and 4-stroke nerf blasters.
Awsome work man. You got a good brain mate👍
You realise he never said the PC worked...
Just sayin
I really wish I had the money to get the components to build a pc :(
*currently saving*
@@monalisa3510 I mean who said anything about paying? 👀
ok building a PC is in MY opinion, alot cooler than making a plane
your a smart guy " stay safe" the world needs guys like you
“DO A LOOP!” 😂
You should ask Peter to add a link to your channel in the description :P
Why, for what
@@RamonaRamona1308 Because he can't do an aileron or barrel roll without flaps, duh! >:P
Lol
LordDragox412 you are right
That was the most impressive gosh darn thing I’ve ever seen. Well done.
I love your balance of being very measured/safe and just sending it ✊🏼
bro risk his life for our content i love his videos
23:10 this shot with zooming out while filming between two people was well done.
When we're sitting home on our asses watching videos and playing games, this dude here built himself a fricken airplane
not just a fricken airplane, the fourth fricken airplane bro
Cool stuff, as always.
30 mph, straight line, with no traffic or traffic lights is equal to 80 mph on the ground in Los Angeles County.
this is wholesome to see when you build a machine and it response and performs so well hardwork paid off 🎉
a big thumbs up 👍🔥🔥
There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, however, there are no old bold pilots. Stay safe!
To true
Jokester on you, I’m friends with the guy who the FAA Had to rewrite the rules for, he’s the best pilot I know and he has only on eye.
@@celiaccrab6952 that sounds pretty Cool
Meh, Neil Armstrong and Chuck Yeager were pretty bold and grew old.
Bold and creative are 2 different things
This guy just made his own Plane. Like ok thats fucking crazy
Ikr
An e plane on top of that
Hello how are u doing Bro I would like to know how u make it
I want to be like u
@Midget Marley ok
Extremely cool and professionally done, Love the sweet simplicity.
Suggestion. Make it RC and fly it to extremes and see how it performs before ever climbing in.
Man I've been waiting to see this video for what seems like ages , well ever since your mates one popped up on UA-cam. This may sound silly for a 52 year old man to say but I felt your elation when you got it sorted and flew it again . Congratulations.
Love the old style montage at the start!
Me too!
Yeah in my opinion his montage music is always really really good. They’re just well done in general, with the editing and stuff
OUTSTANDING job, you must be ecstatic and deservedly so. Not only did you achieve you're desired goal, your narration along the way is easy to follow along. Glad to find your videos and to be able to keep up with your progress.
Wow this is the kind of stuff that should be trending like every where, incredible, you are really something man keep up the great work
Impressive stuff! Not many have the gumption or know how to go off and build an electric ultra-light in their garage! Nicely done!
@Miles Doyle lay off the crack
I'd sure like to hear about getting the foam cut. Did you do it or did you get it done by an outside shop?
good qustion
Panels do look like an extrusions. Or it was a one big hot-wire knife
He doesn't reply fyi
There are many eps foam fabricators around the country That will fabricate the foam for u. Not expensive at all. It’s basically a CNC 2-axis hot wire
@@VictorGalayda Yah, it's cut out with a hot-wire, he mentions that briefly in the video.

@@thra5herxb12s well depending on what part of your body hits you may be fine but your unborn kids will not share your fortune
The DIY aspect of this (in addition to your materials) gives off major Burt Rutan vibes and I like it.
