PeterSripol's tiny airplanes find useful parts in junk electronics

With no new uploads, miniature aircraft and a manned cardboard plane keep the workshop's back catalog busy.

2:44Peter builds a hot-wire slicer to turn foam blocks into thin, lightweight sheets.
5:47A solar-powered car alarm yields a tiny lithium cell for his miniature aircraft.
9:07A smaller receiver board and micro motors become the basis for a twin-engine cargo plane.
11:35Laser-cut foam parts are assembled and painted before an indoor flight test.
14:50A minimalist bare-wing design pushes the scale smaller; its flight tests begin here.

A cheap solar-powered car alarm supplies an unlikely airplane part: the tiny lithium cell Peter Sripol harvests while trying to make his aircraft lighter. In "Making Nano sized RC Airplanes!", saving weight means looking well beyond the usual hobby-shop components.

The video is nearly eight months old, but it is currently drawing the most daily views of the channel's uploads. PeterSripol posted nothing new this week and received roughly 269,000 views across the catalog, while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is close to its usual pace, a little below rather than sharply down.

The miniature build offers plenty to linger over. Peter makes a hot-wire slicer for exceptionally thin foam, strips unnecessary parts from servos, then moves to a tiny receiver board and twin motors for a foam cargo plane. The video includes a sponsored PCBWay segment. His enthusiasm for scavenging is more personal: "This is why I love going to stores and like recycling junk electronics and getting something completely useful."

The channel's other busy projects stretch in opposite directions: "Flying Inside A CARDBOARD airplane (Manned flight!) " puts Peter aboard, while "Building Giant Model Submarine powered by Elastropolymer" takes the experiments underwater. Among nearby aviation and machinery channels, Aaron Rheins is drawing daily views above his usual pace, while Mentour Pilot is having a slower day than usual.

For Peter, shrinking the airplane also means shrinking the claim. After consulting Joe Malinchak's miniature-aircraft work, he puts it plainly: "Actually, it's not the world's smallest RC airplane. It's the smallest I could make."
