@Джейсон Хичкок ...Yeah, Sadly my "kin folks"..need some serious help......But, I gotta give the "Heart Award"...unlike some schmucks I know that have more of ev'ry thing and dont build nuffin'.....
I am 61 years old, I grew up reading popular mechanics from when I was very young. They showed how to build airplanes hovercrafts all kinds of neat stuff. At the age of 12 I did the best I could to build a gyrocopter. It never flew didn't have the money or the experience but I built something. At the age of 14 I tried to build a mini sub. That is still lying in the bottom of a pond in Michigan. Nowadays the excess you have two different materials and easily googled instructions and specifications are very helpful two young man like you! So now at my age I am living my life vicariously through you! All the best and be safe!
You know... I'm a little concerned about what would happen if you, FliteTest and Colin Furze spent time together -edit- Please note I kept Wiliam Osman out of that list on the grounds that I'd like there to at least be some survivors so we can see the footage
I love how we've watched peter go from hot gluing walmart R/C toys in his parents basement to Tig welding is own actual planes and flying them out of his hangar.
I like these ultralight videos the most, and always look especially forward to them. I am surprised this subject matter videos have a lower viewer count.. I say keep them coming!
Ji F. I agree. I actually only watch the ultralight videos. As I have had similar experiences. On that note, if you use those wheels for the final variation, (which I don’t recommend) replace the bearings with HIGH quality new ones, and reinforce the wheel with some bits of welding. Trust me... I have seen failures of both issues on this. Or, just get rims made for it. My 2 cents.
So glad I watched the whole video before dissing your welding :) Glad to hear you're being smart (per usual) and having a more experienced welder finish up the job. Fly safe, the planes look amazing!
i just have to say how crazy it is to watch a youtuber go from a super-ultra light, dangerous probably only put a stunt pilot, airplane to a fully functional private build of a functioning single engine prop plane, and it is just fantastic. You go petersripol, be the budget pilot we know you to be.
I'm happy to see someone who is experimental & that never gives up on trying to achieve his dream come true. Nothing is impossible. A bit of advice.... Triangle is a good shape that gives strength & stability to any structure so please maybe u can try & use triangle-welding for under the landing gear
you might want to look into brazing like on highend bike frames... if done correctly it is stronger than a weld due to not heating up the steel as much and providing a more elastic joint that can slightly flex and will not develop hairlinefractures like a weld...
The frame of the fuselage can be stiff and welded. However welding more that two, maybe three components together at one place is asking for trouble. It is not done in engineering for a reason.
@@JK-mg2cl No! A weld will fare much worse in a repeated impact scenario. Due to the high heat required for multiple welds like he has the tubes get hardend and become brittle. They loose all their flex and will suffer from stress fractures with repeated hard landings. We are not talking about building a wobbly frame but a frame that in the case of a hard impact or loading will flex and jump back to it's original form afterwards instead of breaking or fracturing...

They are completely brazed and super strong while being stupidly light...
I've been looking forward to a build video and now that I watched yours it's made the 2 or so hours of crap YT content tonight worth it. Only to have you tell us you're not going to carry on with the build video for awhile. What a downer.
Please keep these videos coming, they are great! Grind your cuts smooth before welding to reduce crack initiation and maybe even anneal your welds to reduce residual stresses that may cause high stress concentrations at joined locations. May a long fatigue life be flying with you and please stay alive.
Brilliant video! And, I'm sure I caught sight of the Wright brothers watching at one point. They couldn't understand why you didn't have string everywhere and they were very envious about the motor!
I get it that TH-cam metrics mean a lot to you but I think a lot of your fans will be sorta disappointed if you made less of these videos just because they haven't been doing "well." We love these videos!
fourth panda The view counts matter because that’s how he gets paid. More views = more ad revenue. One downside to that nice shop and hangar space is that they cost a lot more money than his folks’ basement. Although I bet their homeowners insurance went down once he moved out!
Wow!! Here I am looking how to diy an airplane for a prop for my sons play for school. Like the one used in “Little Prince” and this one is by far the best so far! But he surly cannot do a working one like this! But wow! Great work!
Maybe splitting hairs but don’t heat bend 4130, it’s low-mid carbon steel and it will affect its properties. No worse than welding it but a tube bender may be a good idea
You can heat bend 4130 all day long without problem. It has no more effect than welding it. Which, of course, does have an effect; it reduces tensile strength to about 87% from the state you receive it in. Which is normal and happens whenever you weld it. Or heat bend it.
Ductility is lost on cold work of 4130. I would prefer distortion over failure any day in aviation. Low cycle fatigue strenth is a must. I am experienced in 4130 tube fab.
This guy's level of craftsmanship and carpentry / building skills is simply out of this world. That takes one seriously incredible mind of engineering to do this...
As a guitarist, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man. And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to cry. They cried, I cried, we all cried together. When I finished I packed up my guitar and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.” Apparently, I was still lost.
I love the fact you keep improving on your designs and are experimenting with different types of materials. GREAT videos. Please keep them coming. You are a great Engineer, very creative and knowledgeable.
I think this is really cool because I thought you had to be like what... some professional that did it for a job or something but yeah your making pretty gnarly planes on your own in your workshop
Peter, On your next version could you utilize Bent Rods to help eliminate Most of the Welding ? Also utilizing small plates with location Holes to hold the Bent Frame Sections together, therefore making it easier to disconnect for Storage or to Trailer it. Was hoping the fan could be lowered, or use 2 counter rotating smaller Fans that can be folded rearwards to give a better Glide Format ? I Have other concepts to alter Wing pitch when necessary for Quick Landings. Thanks
Me alegra ver que aún hay personas qué perseveran en sus proyectos y salen victoriosos no dejéis qué nadie hos límite vuestra creatividad desde España saludos y ánimo muchachos.
You dont need any screws in the hardwood you can use wood glue and the bond is actually stronger. Use the screws as clamps and remove after drying to save weight
I have 2 questions though I don't see you responding to viewers. 1..How are you coming up with your designs ( T tails have their own unique stall characteristics ) ? 2. Do you have any formal flight training? These are not meant as antagonistic questions.
Thank God. My son wants a small plane, he has been loving and wanting to be a pilot for 3 years now. He knows every control. But I will have to test drive this before he can actually fly it, i will also add a seat next to him to assure his safety.
Excellent tube work, only constructive criticism I'd have for you would be that the welds need to be all the way around every tube in the converging joints. Basically should be welded under the area the next tube covers up. You are very inspirational man! Ever think about building an offroad race truck? Just another flight addiction outlet! Haha keep it up Peter!
Great job kid. Started with U-Lights in 1983 and our aircraft were less sculpted than what you ate building. I will be interested to see your ultimate power supply configuration including battery voltage, capacity, dc rate and motor specs. I am now flying a Challenger 2 CWS and would like to sell it to go electric. Perhaps you have the solution! Good luck!
Lower the rudder/tail stabilizer i would say, airflow from the prop is causing increased lift on the rear hence the nose heavyness. Just my first thought, firicken awesome man! I want to see this fly for real!!!
Cluster welds on aircraft tubing have been done this way for a hundred years. A 1/16th gap at the notch is perfectly acceptable. Usually just fishmouthed and welded up. I build / repair chromoly aircraft structures on a regular basis in accordance with FAR 43.13 accepted standards for aircraft construction.
Great Work! Some of those welds looked pretty sketchy. please have all your welds inspected before getting airborne. an awful lot of stress is going through those joints.
Gorgeous work! I would not worry much about the thrust line per se. In general it is not a bad thing to experience nose up as you reduce throttle, since that's what landing is all about. I am concerned about the change in the effectiveness of the elevator as thrust is reduced. The effect will be pitch sensitivity at high thrust/ cruise and reduced sensitivity in low thrust/ landing phase. If you like the way your model handles in these modes, then I think you will be satisfied with the performance and handling of your aircraft. Keep the videos coming!
Man I sure enjoy watching you go ..I love your builds ..and all that equipment to work with .. you're living I my heaven bud ..keep up the great work ..you are certainly a bless individual..be careful though ..I'd hate to see you get hurt flying an ultralight.. because you are a talented young man .. although some of us are as talented ..most of us are limited to ..well life happens and we aren't financially able to follow our dreams ..watching your show .allows us to see things we never get to do in our mundane lives .. believe it or not what you do is important .. as people rarely .. get the opportunity to be a do it yourselfer .. but it's people like you that I use for an example to my grandkids ..so be careful
I wish I had the money to do this when i was a kid!!! But I tried lord knows i did! !THANK GOD FOR FLIGHT SIMULATORS....at least you can hit the reset after you ..splat!!! Great video!!
I kind of stubbled upon your video. I really enjoyed watching you create this aircraft. I'm very impressed with all your projects and you mentioned moving on to submarine? I look forward to watching your videos and new projects. I retired crew chief USAF and currently working C-17 depot maintenance. I think I rather work in your hanger. Our Boeing engineers drive me nuts. I have crewed T-37, F5E, F4G, C-141B, C130s, C-17. I have been thinking of getting into ultralights when I retire in a couple yrs.
You tungsten should only stick out about a quarter to a 1/8 of a inch so you can get your cup closer to smother the oxygen with argon. Makes better welds. Sharpen the tungsten like a needle. You only need to practice laying down some beads on some plate metal to become good just takes practice and confidence.
Are you sure that rod to move the tailplane is going to be strong enough? When you get air pressure on the tailplane there will be a lot of stretching/compression forces.
Think about how side loads will effect it. On normal (piper) aircraft the twisting loads are translated to the frame by the brace wires where they tie to the lower longeron. On your design the tail struts form a parallelogram (weak). The only strength will come from what ever ties the fuselage to the base of the vertical stabilizer. Perhaps that's enough?
My dad would have liked to meet you, he built a peidenpaul airplane in shop class in the '30,s and instructed during the war. Took part in the atomic tests in the " 50,a would let me take controls of a DC 3 as a teenager. Think he would have liked you guys
I always thought the red paint on the propellers were pointless... Untill I saw your prop spin up without the paint. You should paint the tips if your props
your dog is so used to being placed in odd locations from his training on top of your workbench as a puppy, its funny seeing him just sit still in pilot seat like that. he clearly doesnt understand what is going on but is so used to it that he just goes along with it xD

You don't need a license if the aircraft is under 254 pounds without the pilot in it.
Man I sure enjoy watching you go ..I love your builds ..and all that equipment to work with .. you're living I my heaven bud ..keep up the great work ..you are certainly a bless individual..be careful though ..I'd hate to see you get hurt flying an ultralight.. because you are a talented young man .. although some of us are as talented ..most of us are limited to ..well life happens and we aren't financially able to follow our dreams ..watching your show .allows us to see things we never get to do in our mundane lives .. believe it or not what you do is important .. as people rarely .. get the opportunity to be a do it yourselfer .. but it's people like you that I use for an example to my grandkids ..so be careful
I'd like to see you make a steel guitar. OK, a flying steel guitar. :)
Peter, you're a unique and likeable content creator. please don't die doing what you love until you're an old geezer.
Why don't you have 10M subscribers? You don't see this everyday.🤔😮😮😮
Haters.....just like the video on making "Ice cream sandwiches" got 3.3k dislikes.....
Maybe because this is good and the internet favours crap
Also just not enough content I watched all of his videos in about 3 days but it’s coming up I love this man
Try a one piece, curved piece of material for the landing gear. Gives some cushion as well as adds stability
careful man you might actually become an electric plane tycoon if you keep making planes at this quality
I wish I had the money to do this when i was a kid!!! But I tried lord knows i did! !THANK GOD FOR FLIGHT SIMULATORS....at least you can hit the reset after you ..splat!!! Great video!!
Peter i love this series 😎 your the man dude! Just don't give up! We need more! mabye next the Russian screw vehicle?😂😂 Lol love you bro ✈💪💥

This project would have failed on your welding alone, however I am amazed at the final product...good job dude
research having control surfaces directly in the path of the propeller turbulence
I kind of stubbled upon your video. I really enjoyed watching you create this aircraft. I'm very impressed with all your projects and you mentioned moving on to submarine? I look forward to watching your videos and new projects. I retired crew chief USAF and currently working C-17 depot maintenance. I think I rather work in your hanger. Our Boeing engineers drive me nuts. I have crewed T-37, F5E, F4G, C-141B, C130s, C-17. I have been thinking of getting into ultralights when I retire in a couple yrs.
i fear you may have fallen into an obsession with electric ultralights
edit: ok just ultralights
You tungsten should only stick out about a quarter to a 1/8 of a inch so you can get your cup closer to smother the oxygen with argon. Makes better welds. Sharpen the tungsten like a needle. You only need to practice laying down some beads on some plate metal to become good just takes practice and confidence.
That motor mount tubing fails in a collision you may loose your head. Please be careful!
That airfoil is fiercely done!
Was that a subtle screw tseries at 0:30
LOL 🤣👌
Petes planes are like his haircuts. Super cool.
Some day you gotta do a video on just your hair.
Any NDT on those welds?
For the landing gear I'd use steel leaf spring.
Are you sure that rod to move the tailplane is going to be strong enough? When you get air pressure on the tailplane there will be a lot of stretching/compression forces.
i do have one question could you explain why you made se same type of landing gear than the other plane when that one collapsed on you ?
I thought he just did explain what he did to make it better. It's not that crucial since he's not going very fast.
The struts looks bigger on this version
@@capti7555 he said it is 3/8ths thick and showed us its shorter, so definitely stronger
Awesome Peter!!!
Can you Bild a RC Pläne Out of spaghettis ?
@Theodoros Pilpilidis No why?
Dennis Friedle You used "ä"
@@leowiding8792 ä is rather german. å is Swedish
I am from Germany and i didnt pay attention to the German autocorrection
@@Dennis-ji2hj Døn't mind it. Bėware of møøses thœgh.
Think about how side loads will effect it. On normal (piper) aircraft the twisting loads are translated to the frame by the brace wires where they tie to the lower longeron. On your design the tail struts form a parallelogram (weak). The only strength will come from what ever ties the fuselage to the base of the vertical stabilizer. Perhaps that's enough?
At 3:32 the drill kind of sounds like a portion of the avengers theme! (I must have endgame on the mind :P)
My dad would have liked to meet you, he built a peidenpaul airplane in shop class in the '30,s and instructed during the war. Took part in the atomic tests in the " 50,a would let me take controls of a DC 3 as a teenager. Think he would have liked you guys
I always thought the red paint on the propellers were pointless... Untill I saw your prop spin up without the paint.
You should paint the tips if your props
I'm hoping to build an ultralight, thanks for the tips.
I watched all your building videos, and now I can make a good one, thank you.
Do people who walk by ever ask you "Do you work for the goverment"
your dog is so used to being placed in odd locations from his training on top of your workbench as a puppy, its funny seeing him just sit still in pilot seat like that. he clearly doesnt understand what is going on but is so used to it that he just goes along with it xD
