spectacular work 👏👏👏👏👏

[@billreeves5613]

Great Job! I like the style and the plug method.

[@dougmcpheters1546]

Everything was clear and explicit. All, but the "buy them lunch" part. You didn't tell us how many lunches...Based on the outcome you must have bought them lunch daily. Great, great job!

[@carbonfibercreationswashin7213]

Very cool, nice team work! great job

[@AltMarc]

8:07 RIP, he was a great man.

THE SONG REMINDS ME OF THAT OLDSCHOOL SITCOM, ''SON FORD & SON.''

Regarding your glass, did you design your project around certain glass parts, or have the glass made custom?

[@pilot031]

The canopy we designed specially for this plane. The mould (vorm) we send to a company specialised in making those. (Weiss plastic) With new projects I would adopt the design around an existing canopy... that saves the trouble of making moulds. These canopies are also a little flexible.

Great work!

[@chaguine4384andrei]

great job

A s a musician and an aviation enthusiast, I'm sad to see how many people responded to the music, that they actually didn't like it, while I'm trying to find out what track it is.

[@psotos]

Its from the old Barney Miller TV show. I loved that music.

[@mybubu2000]

fantastic..two thumbs up :)

[@agturbay3]

Congratulations! Very nice. What engine it have?

[@pilot031]

An Isuzu (GM) engine 1.7

[@skyraiderjet]

Evert Cornet Do you remember how you made the bulkheads, and what type of foam did you use. I assume expanding foam but I could be wrong.

[@pilot031]

skyraiderjet In the bulkheads, we used Divinycell foam. I have more detailed pictures if you mail me. Regards, Evert [e-mail]

[@skyraiderjet]

+Evert Cornet Hey the email didn't work for some reason, I can PM you mine if that'll work. Merry Christmas btw.

[@pilot031]

sorry, its [e-mail]

[@Happyturtlebeach]

Wow, congrats guys, this is a very sexy looking airplane. I'm impressed. And what's that air scoop on the belly? Is that a... can't be... Meredith effect cooling system? I know another famous aircraft that used that same technique to recover like close to 100% of all cooling drag. P-51 Mustang! Hmm... are you guys getting enough air into that scoop during all flight regimes?

[@agentsmith1527]

What kind of foam was that?

[@pilot031]

all foam was Divinycell

[@williamnedbalek6836]

It reminded me of the "feel good" posters you see in a middle school classroom that encourage you but teach you absolutely nothing.

[@Robert-hp6bp]

exactly.

[@pilot031]

I wonder if YOU ever finished something in your life....

[@unnable51]

lol... Nice Work! And the song of the video is perfec too. What Band is this?

[@treatrayner1]

Its the theme song to Sanford and Sons ,,,, 1970s sitcom

[@backwoodsgps]

really nice music !!!!! !!

[@pinnymusic]

I love this music too. Can we find out where the track is from?

[@noeljimmy5115]

is that Rowan Atkinson at 7:50!!!!!!!!?????!!!!!!!lolololol??????????????!

[@MikeysRC]

@6:29....and decide you'd rather fly an L-39 so grab the keys when no ones looking....

[@Beverly_Life_Style]

Instead these noising music, you give more scientific explanation. Anyway good work!

[@intelligenceservices]

Looks simple enough

[@Vincent-Vega24]

I wonder why they went from a 3 blade prop to a 2 blade prop???

[@pilot031]

just for simplicity; we could fly earlier and we found the simple 2 bladed perform really well. Safed some weight too....

[@Vincent-Vega24]

@@pilot031 Thats so interesting. I love anything aircraft and to find out stuff like this just fills my satisfaction!!! Thanks for your reply my friend!!!!

[@uhrwerks]

There were some areas where they showed something. But, I agree with you. Like U said, "look, this is what we did!" There are some better vids out there. Maybe this is a business opportunity? A DVD on "How to make your own Carbon-composite, aka CarbonFiber/CFRP aircraft". I know about "composites"! I can make a 3D model for a CNC to make a full sized "plug" from hard foam or wood. If several moulds are used for each side, u bolt them together before moulding. Then you lay-up the material, fiberglass? Carbon-fiber? I would have liked to at least see them do what I just said! You "paint" the gel-coat on the mould, then lay the aircraft "skin". Was any stiffening material used between layers? Like composite foam or honeycomb? Where, which areas was it used? What materials were used? I hate to ask, who died? The pilot? Was it in this aircraft? KZbin out Grobaircraft you'll learn more! in less Time! Notice the moulds, how the carbon layers are moulded, vacuum bagged, then to the oven.

[@user-xu3ok2qe4f]

Is this a Penec DIESELIS ? Correct ?

[@pilot031]

yes that is correct, only we used cast aluminium at that time.

[@jollybroom1455]

Use a little bit of cupcake sprinkle s

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

I think ev'ry guy should design and build their own plane... It's like building your own perfect woman...Put in and take away whatever you want or don't want...Supremo...😊😊😊😊!!!!

[@CrystalliteKK]

Wow it was so easy, but actually its not... the video was more encouraging . Title was wrong, bu they are correct. Because if they would have showed how to, how come we would have understood their efforts to achieve their success...

[@k.ganesanganesan6825]

light weight unbreakable our earth is safe.

[@Itsmeeman1]

"breefing"? Really?

[@PDZ1122]

Why, that was easy! Let me finish my kipper and get started and I'll be ready to test fly by tea time. Right after the French fancies.

[@PDZ1122]

Had to mute the awful elevator music.

[@kevincarlen2950]

Dragon flyb

[@fredblair4307]

hate that music stopped me from enjoying so i didn't watch it beyond the first few seconds

[@ronnyroosenboom889]

anoying music, some luck that the vid goes without sound too

[@seansoblixe9711]

VERY DISAPOINTED I WANT MORE DETAIL NOT FLUFF AND DROP THE MUZAK THUMBS DOWN

[@rogerolander458]

Waste of time - learned nothing new here! Tells you the sequence of what to do but not how to do it,

[@michaelnowling6865]

A totally useless post and lousy music. The title suggests information but none given.

[@pilot031]

Michael Nowling I would like to know what you accomplished....

[@bobfox6456]

Copie du Dieselis francais

[@pilot031]

That is correct. It’s a composite version. In that time we worked together with the builders of the Dieselis.
