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.

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.

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!!
Awesome! 10-11kWh is real world = 1 gallon gas. Like the motorcycle style seating. 24:30 80-90 amps at 30mph 9:00 92 volts. volts x amps = watts So 92v x 90 amp = 8.3 kWh So with a 10 kWh battery pack you should be able to easily go 30 miles. But battery pack will weigh in at 90 lbs. (8.8lbs/kWh)

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.
Quite impressed by the final build, especially how stable it looked you're flying the aircraft! You are an inspiration for young people who have a desire to experiment but might not now how to get started and in what field. Keep up the good work. Congrats!!!
This is awesome! I love that he did the Math and Engineering properly. I'm so tired of high-school dropouts saying their design is better than the "normal" ones because they don't use proper engineering.
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.
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
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.

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
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.

Hey Peter, for the record, if they don't fold up and come apart, "they ain't crappy!" The entire process you're doing is spectacular. As good as any production process, I'm sure.
'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!
MAYBE you can shift your weight in the direction of the turn to make a more coordinated turn ? What is that electric motor you are using ? That round thing behind the prop is like a flywheel ? You're very creative for sure
I already watched this a few times in the last few months. It makes me want to make a fresh coffee and watch it all over again on the big screen. Better than Discovery Channel.
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!

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.
bro risk his life for our content i love his videos
Love your enthusiasm and knowledge of the aircraft. You're obviously a aeronautical engineer with a passion for flying, keep that passion going my man!
"Crappy homemade airplanes."
Hey, if you can make airplanes at home AT ALL, I don't consider it too crappy
search on here for "home depot airplane"
how is it crappy
@@terryallen9277 because peter said it was in the video
I agree
I once tried to make a submarine. I almost burned down our house. Thank goodness because it probably would have been my tomb.....that would have been seriously crappy!
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.
Congratulations brother 🎉
23:10 this shot with zooming out while filming between two people was well done.
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

Peter: *silently adds a zero to the 100 to make it the 1,000 it should be*
that was sooo beautiful to watch and electrical power as well it has made my day thank you at 72 years old i would be happy to fly it around the airport at 50 feet
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.....
Hey Peter, for the record, if they don't fold up and come apart, "they ain't crappy!"
The entire process you're doing is spectacular. As good as any production process, I'm sure.
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.
14:47
Hearing the motor while in flight, it sounds like a supercharger!
12:00 "well it flies."
Really amazing project, itis so wonderful that people can get into the air like this.
2 Questions:
1) What was the total project cost?
2) What would it take to alter the design of this aircraft, to make it into a BIPLANE? :-)
Biplane? Ridiculous, make it a triplane, slap a small radial and you got yourself a bootleg Fokker
'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!
Hey I've subscribed to both of you!
How ru not verified
MAYBE you can shift your weight in the direction of the turn to make a more coordinated turn ?
What is that electric motor you are using ? That round thing behind the prop is like a flywheel ?
You're very creative for sure
Extremely cool and professionally done, Love the sweet simplicity.
I already watched this a few times in the last few months. It makes me want to make a fresh coffee and watch it all over again on the big screen. Better than Discovery Channel.
I agree. It’s such a professionally assembled video, all done while assembling a plane!
I was thinking how this has the quality of a network tv show without all the stupid fake drama. Just science and technology
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
Beautiful landing! Absolutely perfect

@@thra5herxb12s well depending on what part of your body hits you may be fine but your unborn kids will not share your fortune
Such a quiet and graceful flight, outstanding
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
"Very expensive"
Still probably well under what some folks pay for an annual
an annual what? annual flower? and annual anal exam? an annual jojo reference?
@@darkshadowsx5949 annual service on an aircraft. It's a well known term in aviation
@@darkshadowsx5949 every year you have to have your plane completely torn apart and every thing inspected. Its pricey and long
Except for the song with the crying baby - great video!
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.
That was the most impressive gosh darn thing I’ve ever seen. Well done.
"crappy homemade airplane"
Dude, you built a functioning ultralight that is all electric in a garage, without a kit.
not only that, but he was able to take off, fly and land in with pretty good precision, tailwheels can be tricky. no ailerons? ridiculous
Everything is relative 😅
I cant even build a paper airplane
@@Moto_POV relatable
You are a legend! Love the videos of mk4, especially your proud dad helping out.
OMG! This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. It's like a scale up electric RC park flyer. Just incredible, and courageous too!
Impressive stuff! Not many have the gumption or know how to go off and build an electric ultra-light in their garage! Nicely done!
