So for those of you who don't know who Peter Sripol is.He builds rc vehicles,mainly aircraft,on Youtube.I suggest checking him out.I think it was four years ago when he built a giant rc cargo plane based on the Flitetest guinea pig.In fact,it was the guinea pig just scaled up.There is a video on the Flitetest channel of it.It really is a majestic bird.I absolutely loved it so I built it in simpleplanes just from a few photos I've seen of the beast.I had to modify the propellors slightly and use 1 jet engine to make it fly.It was just too heavy for just 2 engines.But ya I hope you enjoy this beautiful Giant guinea pig!

    Heck ya!His first ultralight is his most impressive one.Because it wasn't a kit or anything.Just a homemade design.Which I love!But I do love the mk3 one the most,purely because of its design.

    Nice! His creations are epic, especially his home-built ultralights.
