Mixed feelings about this one. Electric aircraft are exciting to me conceptually, but spin testing something built with hardware store materials "with or without a parachute" would be a hard pass from me.
I do think it's interesting that he finds a C172 cost prohibitive; last I checked, high power electric motors and batteries aren't exactly cheap either!
It'll be interesting to see how far he gets before thinking better of it... whether that's before or after the first takeoff.
