- well this is one of the least productive looking steps, although completion of this task is critical to how the rest of the build would turn out. But its done now! on to the wings next week!

This genius is building an airplane from SCRATCH and majority of these comments are about disliking his choice of music 😆 Awesome job, I like the audience interaction on your channel. Something I need to do more of.
Hey Greek, nice to see you in aviation too
need more audience interaction, simply use music they dont like! hahahaha guaranteed way to get more comments!
the music sucks. would've preferred you just talking or sounds of you building. just because you can, doesn't really mean you should.
TITANIC music (but that flute version that is horrible)
will he paint it
Hey Peter,
I noticed you didn't put any threadlock on the bolts, DON'T forget this, this thing is going to vibrate a lot.
Greetings from The Netherlands
And greetings from Singapore
WHAT!!!!@?? Use the threadlock on everything that isn't plastic or polymer
Thread locker is almost never used on aircraft, proper torque and safety wire or cotter pins are far superior, I say this as a certificated aircraft technician. The main issue with thread locker is its internal so its nearly impossible to tell if the lock is broken without actually breaking it yourself, wire and pins are external making them easier to inspect while also providing a stronger lock, but yes the bolts should be secured one way or another.
Eeeyyy nederlaaannddd
Ok thanks, I didn't know that.
The real joy is in building something like this. If it flies, it's just the icing on the cake. If it doesn't kill you, you'll know there is a God.
Peter, good luck on building the plane I hope you can successfully fly the plane on its first flight. Prayers
The dog is at it's last cutest point in it's life.
Fishguit i think all older dogs are cute I don't just love them for their puppy cuteness
And he is kind of a jerk to it
I'm not sure if the landing gear is intelligent without some dampers.. I mean the wings are going to take a beating at every bump.
Not just take a beating, a bad hit or pot hole could do unseen structural damage to the spar then the next time you load the spar goodbye wing. That's normally at above livable fall heights and results in FAA what not to do videos.
In all reality, there's alot of light aircraft that don't have any sort of suspension at all. Some have some spring in their landing gear via bending of the legs but there's plenty without any spring what so ever. Ultralight like he's doing is common to be firm gear...no suspension.
I totally agree. Don't just bank on smooth landings. Atmospheric conditions alone could put you on the ground harder than you're designing for.
totally agree, a re-do with some heavy valve springs encapsulated in the tubing maybe? 1.5" worth of travel and impact damping might weigh an extra lb or so. haven't seen if it's a tricycle or tail dragger, if tricycle I wouldn't worry much about the nose wheel, just the under wing mounted.
MTB suspension would be perfect size.... downhill racers are designed for exactly this.... Hard downward forces... my FS MTB suspension has both a shock and a spring and still fits in my hand. IT's taken a lot of beating on the Mississippi river rocks!
I love your videos and I just wanted to tell you keep up the hard work you inspired me to build aircrafts in my future!
Hi and thank you for applying for this engineering position at NASA. Please provide us a resume to continue the interview process.
*sends link to youtube channel.*
I'm sorry sir; how soon can you start?
Famwich Yup.
Armando Silvier. Real world here. Wish Your conspiracy theories ended any one of the times the world was supposed to have ended. Find an appropriate place for them.
Famwich Conspiracy theories aren't only a conservative symptom mind you. Plenty of liberals also hold ridiculous conspiracies. Although the NASA one does seem to lean more heavily towards the conservatives.

They're looking for graphix people
This is definitely going to be on outrageous acts of science
Spiral Universe Yes
Spiral Universe Not science, but engineering
Spiral Universe
You absolutely have to have suspension, at least a little, especially if you screw up your spar, the plane is toast. Even a compressed rubber spring, something so you don't crack the spar. Even a couple little tiny bumps could screw it up on your first landing. And since you've never landed your ultralight before, let alone fly it, you don't know how it's going to flare.
agree, couple big block valve springs encapsulated in the tubing could be good way to go too.
or go the route that many light aircraft, and even gen 1 and two cirrus use on the nose, Rubber pucks!
I think a trailing link suspension would be best. The way it is, I wouldn't trust it for one landing. Even if it doesn't suffer visible damage, I worry about what would be happening to the spar---unseen.
car shocks are too heavy. The first planes had give in the wood and the wire cable used to hold them. I think you're worrying about something that should be a non issue.
HUH????
Most ultralights DON’T have any suspension!
I have had 5 ultralights and none had any suspension! They were all sold in great shape to other pilots.
Peter. What an amazing project! your channel is growing, your doing amazing things, and becoming the best of the best. Good Luck!!!
Can’t wait for it to be completed! Keep up the amazing work! :)
I logged onto youtube and when I saw this in my recommended I clicked it so fast and with so much excited force that my 3 dollar banggood mouse broke. Totally worth it though.
I'm not a huge plane or RC person but, wow, the fact that you're putting so much time and effort into a spectacular death is epic and fun to watch. Good luck! :)
😏just visit his channel dude
I'm very exited to see this thing how it flies! keep up the good work!
ผมมีความฝันที่จะสร้างเครื่องบินเหมือนกันครับ จะติดตามผลงานต่อไป ชอบแนวคิดการสร้างเครื่องบินมากๆ
This is so much more exciting and creative than FliteTest lately!
FINALLY, I've been needing this
Dude!!! That was your best video yet. Fantastic time-lapse-build-montage! Episode 7 is gonna rock! Love the dog!
Your channel and content in my opinion is the best on youtube.
Oh hell yes been waiting for this for a while now! Can't wait for the end of the month or mid of the month? Of october for that live stream. Turned on notifications.
9 hours ago? YT tells me this was posted bout a minute ago
Patreon supporters probably get early access
Peter, your videos make me happy.
Unclee
Deluxe
Mumumu makin me happeeeee 😂
Your 1000% Pilot
Please find myself in the future please reply with remove please
You deserve so many more subscribers. Amazing work!
Dude, bit late for this vid, but this goes for pretty much all your vids. Best montages in the business. Always a joy, i know you have to put so many hours in, but to see things just smashed out, its a joy.
Awesome Peter! Im thinking of breaking a record! I want to try and be the youngest person ever that designs, buids and flies his own aircraft! If you or any1 else has got some tips for me, that would be great! I want to do this because I'm still in highschool (I'm almost 15 :P) and I'm absolutely in love with anything that flies. Well, amazing work and please dont die!
Dude you have an amazing idea. Maybe I’ll race ya to it :D
levipicard420 Yes I do! tycho_apd
i like this guys enthusiasm.
you guys should do it! maybe even team up on it... (ref comments above)
just love this build... i really enjoy such projects, and i'm pretty sure i'll start building an ultralight when i'm done with my current project... do you have any advice for building a plane like this? maybe even have a look at the adventure-bus build on my channel and throw some feedback at me haha. great job as always peter!
when i say advice i mean like something i need to be extra carefull about so i don't die...
Life of Bjorn find an A&P to talk to
Make a mini, RC prototype first. Make sure to have plenty of experience with brushless motors, epoxies, and aerodynamics.
Make Shure your weight to Power ratio is correct and your balance in precice I've built many models and have found these two elements are key to a successful flight, if you have more questions I will be happy to answer. Best of luck
cool man! the bus conversion is neat, subbed, cuz it reminds me of the food truck project my family did! and only advice is tons of research. Its a serious amount of head scratching designing everything!
This dude is my new hero... Awesomeness does not come close to describe him. Love it. Sub'd straight away!
Dude!!
I started watching flitetest from the very beginning, but fell out of r/c for a few years and haven't watched it in a long time.
1st Seen you on there with your wild and weird style of design. (not unlike my own). always thought you were a very mechanically inclined fella with some awesome and cool ideas, that you have brought to fruition.
Recently found your channel and you helped spark my interest again..
AND, to see the old J head Bridgeport..... I Love It!!
I have wanted one, ever since machine shop class in school and have finally acquired one earlier this year. so much fun...
I really enjoy your videos and watching your inventions come to life.
Keep it up!!!
Your vids are the best. I wish i could do what you do.
If I see this fly one day I will cry 😭 you the man
So you cryed?
@Brady Prince yo whats up that replie was from 1 year ago?
We need an update
Seriously one of the cutest pups ever!
Keep doing what you're doing man. You're simply Genius. Love all your videos . coming from GUAM 👍
This guys too devoted to his work
The long tradition of I can fix it later right after the first flight. There's no way I would take that up to the edge and fly this thing.
This is incredible. can't wait for the maiden flight!
Just seen it great job
I am really loving these videos because they are very similar to designs and materials I have yet to start building pending available funds. Very eager to see the first flight.
I like your videos when there's electro swing. But I like them also when you do a good job. I can tell you you have done a fantastic work on this. ;F
Ohhhhhhhhh. I cant wait
Don't forget your seatbelt!
helloo!! Just wanted to say how much I like your videos and how much I support you!! I am waiting or part 5!!!
This is a great project. I cant wait for the next instalment!
Ohh nooo not that music everybody uses for DIY videos. Stick to the good old electro swing music....
Leo U. Yeah
I agree hooman who worships kek
same.
yeah he got rick rolled with that advice....
Yes pls dont
Peter, if you livestream the maiden flight please do it at a time when most people are out of school! I'm not home until 3:45 EST, and if you do it in the morning I'll miss it! Please consider this.
Otherwise, can you do the thing where the livestream uploads as a video?
WoW and Tech I would prefer not as some viewers like me in the UK etc wouldn't be able to watch it after the build up :(
I guess it really depends on who he has more viewers in; the US or Europe/asia
WoW and Tech Yeh I guess, I just hope he uploads highlights or something after
WoW and Tech yes please
You’re doin a pretty fantastic job so far keep it up!^~^
the build is looking great
Is the dog gonna fly too? :)
catsdgs he is the pilot.. so.. umm.. Yeah
Parabéns cara você é demais eu pensei que você poderia fazer coisas pequenas mas dessa vez você se superou Parabéns sou muito seu fã e além disso sou brasileiro kkkk
that plane is looking beautiful! and so is the dog!
Loving the progress! Also that dog
2 questions, will you build and assemble the wings outside because they will be very big and how will you transport it to the field?
I LIKE THE OLD MUSIC
It's looking good Peter I'm wishing the very best on your maiden flight!
I love your videos I always look forward to them they are awesome keep up the good work
Can you put dye in the resin to colour your plane? Cause adding paint afterwards may add more uneeded weight (thats if you are planning on painting it).
Yes!
Basil. Muito 👍 obrigado
THAT WAS AWESOME!
This is awesome, keep up the good work
also the pupper is adorable
Bring a parachute!
Stephen Germiller he has a go-fund me for a parachute
I really want to build a plane too but I’m broke... gonna have to resort to building mine out of empty pizza boxes and resin 🤔
do it glue alot toghether for thickness
3AM has been the most successful of life so how about you make a life size tank
Add fibreglass in there and you're sussed
The problem with that is resin is thick and heavy
dont worry i have the same problem 😀
Really looking forward to the next part of the project, very interesting. Lache-pas la patate!
Watching this is so satisfying
I believe Toby is actually building the plane because Toby appeared after the first episode of the DIY ultralight series.
Case closed.
Cookieglue or he just needed a camera man and a second hand but thats HIGHLY unlikely ur prabs right
vuelalo
pues
increíble
I live right down the road from this guy XD
RubberMillk u could sell tickets to watch the maiden flight! Lol!
Where’s part 1 2 and three 3
Peter YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! I think you're genious!
This is the type if stuff i like i mean I'm getting ideas right now.
If you crash,( I hope not) who will upload the raw video in youtube?
As a self-certified/educated Kerbal Space Program engineer, I'm highly concerned for several of your predicted flight characteristics of your aircraft. Please take my words of caution seriously, as I'm truly concerned....
The two things that NEED to be addressed........
The top speed and the acceleration...to solve these major problems, I highly suggest adding a couple of rockets on the sides for rocket assisted take-off.. As well as a single RC sized turbine for pushing the speed envelope (nothing too crazy of course)..
Hope my engineering expertise helps!!!! Happy flying!
I feel like he's missing struts. Definitely add struts. The quality and safety of an aircraft increases exponentially with the number of struts.
I feel like he's missing at least 8 rockets on his plane
Needs more Jeb
Also, it must be launched not by with wheels, but by placing it on its tail and Strapping rockets to it.
Yes, too low DeltaV for my tastes. Reach for the Mun Peter.
Hello I enjoyed your video very much, particularly your quick edits it keeps me interested and thats hard to do I was a camera man in my working days and I look forward to watching the rest of your work THANXS again L.A.
Great project. Well done.
theres a guy on youtube who has built his own super quad copter in sweden i think..
hes spent at last 20 hours on flight testing in a dozen videos.. everything from static flight to finally 20 feet hi and hovering..
hes gotten pretty good at his machine.. the point is take your time.. do a one minute flight.take off a few feet and land.. and continue building over 20 tries or more.. once yore up and away from the ground you can start maneuvering.. take your time and youll live.. doc johnny former nasa test pilot,, flight surgeon nato..
now i didnt say you wouldnt crash.. but youll live on a bad glide at worst
Are you going to paint it? If you do make it dank
Make sure your cob (center of balance) is spot on. Great job hope I flys
amazing! truly remarkable!
How heavy is this Plane actually ?
cheesylorry I am asking the same question.how heavy is this aircraft?
he said the weight its planned to be in part 1 or part 2
My brother built a hydroplane when we were kids using similar materials. I was surprised how heavy it got with the fiberglass over a wood frame. It was pretty cool.
I think it's going to work, but it does get scarier and more tense every time a part is release haha
Best TH-cam series, evah.
Watching this video is like watching a story unfolds, very entertaining. You got to see the final outcome. The main plot👍😁
Dude I tried making a full scale sg38 with my friend and we got as far as getting 80% of the fuselage done and the tail complete within like 2 days and we just stopped...Its collecting dust in my garage, ever sense you started this project I have been wanting to go back and finish it. P.S very simple plane, might be a little heavier though.
Did you finish it?
Yea, did you finish it?
Smol Doggo is getting bigger
Good job keep the dream alive that's where it all begins
This all in one word
Insane....
When's the next video?
Pete, are you still alive?
(Before you ask, yes I know I asked the questions in that order.)
Hi guys your doing a good job
you inspire me, Peter.
holy shit the nut level build skills are quite impressive - and the camera operation and cuts are superb as well
i can't believe how many metal plates and bolts joined/ to wood were used... damn that's a lot of work and less than 3 months is beyond totally impressive
This guy is making an airplane and I can't even get a text back
thats like trying to throw plastic darts at a magnetic dart board. Build the plane, its definitely easier...
PeterSripol rigicell?
Do you think Flite Test will allow you to fly this at Flite Fest next year? ;D lol.
Awesome vidro btw
Good filming work👌👌👌
Good job !! How about an emergency parachute?! In case you wanna bale out.!
I just saw the previous video parts.... I hope you get the parachute..Good Luck!!
I have a good feeling that you will fly so high and then go crash into a tree and survive and you will be honored as a Vietnam war hero. Than you will be awarded the Medal of Honor and then for some reason end up creating a club, the club will be called THE MILK CLUB I know what you're thinking Willy Wonkas chocolate crunch bars with extra crunch no we are talking about taffy being extra chewy and soft which will cause every single human alive to jump at once and cause a massive earthquake which will cause a large tsunami and that tsunami will wipe everything out except for Kylie Jenner which will die from not getting enough lip injections. The End
The future seems bright
How high are you?
Jake ikr
Seems legit
Take a hint from Peter. A mask around certain fumes is very helpful.
I love your all videos
You are by far one of my favorite TH-camrs so don’t die, also I hope you don’t completely destroy the plane if you need to crash
Yay - Great to see the cutest puppy ever again!. plane... whatever... Go the Puppy! (joking. the plane is awesome, but the puppy is better!)
Are you going to use any carbon fiber for parts of the airframe, similar process to fiberglass, but it can be stronger.
Isaac Lyons can't be cheaper though.
That dog is absolutely too adorable. When it's leaning on your shoulder, or when it was making the weird sound with a little tongue blep going on...I'm afraid I didn't hear what you were saying over my "AWWWWWWWWWWW".
this channel deserves a million subs or more
Still can't believe he's building an actual plane
There's a video on yt of some guys that builded a plane with corrugated board. They used a maniquine, weights and RC Electronic to fly for the first time their plane, I think that's a good idea to do something like that you too.
[excuse me for my English I am an Italian teenager]
He talks about this in the first video. That's actually illegal, because you're not allowed to RC fly something that large.
Just to show how backwards legislature is... If he wanted to remotely fly it, he would need a waiver because of its weight. Yet if he's willing to risk his life, he can fly without any paperwork under Part 103.
Orazio Vescovi ur English is fine
those guys are dutch
So Sick bro!
Bro you better not die doing this I love your vids to much
