The building on Peter’s channel is a bit like Mythbusters. Task with execution. It’s not meant to be heirloom quality, it’s a test to see if it’s possible.
Building as if you could never ever do it again seems to kill about 80 percent of peoples projects. Coveted action instead of let’s do it some more because it’s fun. It’s supposed to be fun.
Think about it. He enjoys building and he enjoys flying. He doesn’t let perfect kill the project. He is not unhappy to iterate. Having fun doing it,why quit? He has been a real test pilot about to be four times. How could that not be exciting? Can’t say he doesn’t want to fly.
What would I have him work on? One flying skill. If he is going to be test pilot, he needs to up his experience. I know he has ridden in a Pitts and done basic Acro. He needs to be able to do this solo. Not to test the airframes but the day the airframes test him. Second, pay a little more attention to standards in welding or cutting wood or covering. Mainly out of safety. I think he has gotten better.
