Those are the investors.Some changed their minds, but I haven't heard any complaints. At least not from the serious $20,000 deposit holders.

I don’t know why people misinterpret critical as hatred. I don’t hate Peter or his project but I’m pretty critical of most of what he has done because of the many glaring deficiencies.Yeah, but 7000 hate posts on this thread but none from any angry deposit holders.
It's a lot of work, so I want to do a lot more work that doesn't fix the problem before I'm forced to eventually do what I should have done all along.Lemme just remove 1 turbo real quick! Do you have any idea how much effort that would take just for a simple test? All of the related plumbing would have to be changed or removed. That requires testing ask the hot side plumbing and the color side plumbing. The oil and water lines need to be called it removed. And what if it doesn't make a difference? You guys just throwing out crazy suggestions like they're all a minute fix without first thinking of all the time and related implications to implement the suggestion.
I like to see those as a learning experience, learning what doesn't work or what not to do.not to be part of the pity parade ......from my own experiences here.... it is emotionally exhausting when things do not go right.
The refundable deposit holders like you have only lost about $60 escrow fee. But they also lost about 5 years waiting with the missed completion promises and wildly inaccurate performance claims, so some might be angry and critical. But like I said, I don't see it. The $20,000 supporters? gifters? could be more disappointed and loose it all. But I have not heard anything from them either. Seems bizarre. This whole open and public story is bizarre and I wonder if someone is looking at a book project.And why would any deposit holder be angry if they got their money back when they cancel their deposit?
As for the $65 it cost me, it was worth the entertainment value. As for the investors, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a suit but I don’t think there are any assets or value to recover. I’m sure there will be some that are angry if not at Peter then themselves.The refundable deposit holders like you have only lost about $60 escrow fee.

I’d be curious to see what Peter Sirpol could have done with the $+2.5 mil.
Maybe they figure that Peter lost vastly more than $20k of his own money.As for the $65 it cost me, it was worth the entertainment value.

It's more likely that the CEO of Raptor Aircraft, Inc has been amply recompensed for all his work.Maybe they figure that Peter lost vastly more than $20k of his own money.
He could have made lots more YT videos. He doesn’t seem to be very interested in designing and building a useful airplane.I’d be curious to see what Peter Sirpol could have done with the $+2.5 mil.
Like PM, then. Just with a far smaller budget and a lot more talent?He could have made lots more YT videos. He doesn’t seem to be very interested in designing and building a useful airplane.

Yeah, like when, if ever, will he acknowledge that noisey mess behind him isn't developing power?RaptorMan's calcs show the engine producing 425 hp. I guess the lack of acceleration and climb rate didn't budge the needle on the cluemeter. 5 more gallons of coolant = another 50 lbs?
PM is in the depths of Sunk Cost Fallacy. I'm not sure he has the personality to pull himself out of it until the plane is destroyed in an incident.I think is time to give up of this engine,
There will be no intervention. He has already left the building, the only question now is how high the bounce will be off the pavement.or should there be a real intervention
Certainly.....but ......can what are glaring errors be fixed and an aircraft of his own design and development be made safe to fly? The consensus here is he will not meet his design goals, but backing up a moment ,....can the engine problems be fixed?,.....can the aerodynamic problems be fixed? Is it possible that a somewhat heavy aircraft with a Jet A or Diesel burning engine will develop?This fallacy, which is related to loss aversion and status quo bias, can also be viewed as bias resulting from an ongoing commitment.
