Log Drivers Waltz - I love the reference and the analogy!

These guys are so recognizable that looking out of control is the norm, you would have to actually see the prop hit the ground before you get concerned lol.

I've just finished watching literally all your videos since there were gaps in the catalogue, my only hope is that you'll continue to do more high quality work, whatever form it takes!

While we're still on biplanes, could you do one on the Beechcraft Staggerwing

Is there any chance you could cover the Depression-era everyman's plane, the classic Peitenpol Air Camper? They were designed to be as cheap as possible in the era they were designed in and able to be made by anyone with basic knowledge of woodworking, which ends up with them being an extremely basic, wood-and-fabric, parasol-wing monoplane powered by a wide variety of engines, ranging from Ford Model A straight-4's (original specification) and Chevy Corvair Flat-6's, all the way through modern aircraft engines. I think it would make for an interesting video contrasting the much more modern and expensive aircraft often covered here.

Do one for Beechcraft Starship cuz why not, maybe cover the possibility of refurbishing one from the scrapyard xD

[AlexDenton]

Do I want one?
Hell yes.
Can I ever afford one?
Probably not but I will dream lol.
