Insane timeline indeed! I wish I had a work ethic like that. It's interesting how he tells that as a child, he was encouraged by his parents to "always finish his project, no matter how much you disliked it".
I wonder what the reliability of this beast is like, but I guess only time will tell.
If anyone is interested in this kind of stuff (fiberglassing fuselages, building cockpits...), Peter Sripol, a model plane enthusiast, made his own DIY plane that can carry a human with hobby grade brushless motors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNSN6qet1kE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNSN6qet1kE

- ataturk 8y agoI'm not 100% positive that is great advice. Looking at a lot of projects I have begun, especially startups, I'm glad I didn't finish them--I would have lost a lot of money! There's one in particular I wished I had quit my job to finish, however. But 1 in say 25 it's hard to tell which one the winner would have been.

- TaylorAlexander 8y agoWell I never learned it until the pain and waste of unfinished projects pushed me. This talk by John Carmack was encouraging too. He talks about the importance of finishing projects: https://youtu.be/vlYL16-NaOw https://youtu.be/vlYL16-NaOw
- ryandrake 8y agoAbout 2 years into an RV kit build, so I’m pretty jealous of this guy right now. Fantastic airplane he made! It would have taken me 5 months just to tear the old one apart.
