Like above, he is a live Popular Mechanics.
In the real world this would happen at work which was a small helicopter company. 100 people would call and talk about learning to fly 20 would come visit the actual airport, 10 would take at least one lesson, 1-2 would get a license. It’s going to be the same with his viewership. One or two percent will go as far as he has, the rest are curious or dreaming. There is probably 10% who might break out a saw and buy some wood or metal, but what they learn is unless you do it for a living, Peter, it will take years to pull off an equal effort. Diligence. Little Scrapper is showing the diligence of how far you get when you spend a chunk of your free time on only one project. It’s a one percenter hobby.
Peter does push some things. Fluttering controls and tail heavy are the scary ones. I think he scraps stuff instead of fixing. He has also simplified his designs compared to the first one. He also knows variety is his brand. He probably looses some money on the serial shows compared to the one video one project. He makes 3-5 videos making a UL over a good bit of time all the while he has still to make 40 more to sustain the viewers. He definitely flys them fair weather only, so he probably thinks there is a limit he does not want to explore.
