He mentions another guy who mounted those on something. I think it was at Airventure but might have been at an event called flight fest.

Peter does cool stuff but it’s worth remembering everything he makes is destined to have a lifespan of two or three videos before he moves on to the next project.

Compared to Porkchops, he's Francis Ford Coppola, Kubrick, Spielberg and Scorsese wrapped into one.
Reminds me. When I was briefly in Canada this year, someone at the airport told me what a hero
Porkchops was, and I burst out laughing.
His feelings were really hurt. He honestly idolized Porkchops, and it revolted him to find someone
that didn't think Porkchops was necessarily the answer to a maiden's aviation prayer.
I don't give a flying fuck at a donut, but it's interesting to see the effects of groupthink, and the
complete intolerance and hostility towards even slightly differing opinion these days. It's odd how
fairly normal-looking people quickly conclude you are [b]Satan[/b] if you don't completely agree with
them on every tiny detail of their world view.

"Canada" sounds dreadful.

I didn't even make the connection to him being the guy who made the remote control model plane with KFC bucket wings to demonstrate Magnus effect.

I am a Canadian and I can't stand Flightchops. I really don't understand how other people can either. It saddens me that when the next generation of young people getting into aviation search for Saunders Seafury videos on youtube they are going to be introduced to such aviation excellence by this fool. A guy that has an aviation channel and openly admits that it has taken him 3 years and he still hasn't completed an instrument rating. I guess this is the future....

You had me at KFC. You know George Costanza (Jason Alexander from
Seinfeld) is the new me?

Next time you're in Norcal, you get a free Pitts ride.

To Flightchops’ credit, he’s emotrating that any old tool can do it. I know a bunch of well-accomplished people who never took up flying because they assumed it was much harder than it is.
You wanna see a cool Youtuber? Check out Colin Furze.

Plus he has flown a Chipmunk so I don't want to brag but even if his mellow dramatics is bad I'm going to guess he's a better pilot than me. :(
I love Colin Fruze. That guys home made mobility scooter modifications kicks ass!
