It has been a while since we looked in on Peter Sripol. Thanks to Hack-A-Day we got to see this really nice video on his latest project -- an electric-powered ultralight.
I thought the foam wings held together by Gorilla glue were cool. The electric motor was very nice. But I guess the thing I liked the most about this video was the window it gave us into Peter's workshop. That is obviously a REAL workshop where things are really built. I like the white board -- I need one of those. The heat gun also seems very useful.
Three cheers for Peter's very supportive dad. it must be tough for him to watch his son take off in those foam contraptions, sometimes with water bottles taped to the tail!

ReplyDeleteThis is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Foam air frame barnstorming! Where do I sign up?
