    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.

      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.

    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

      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.
