So I've been following this kid for a while and hoboy does this poo poo look unsafe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6CS-YJ3_VU

At multiple points throughout the video series he says, "Well I looked at some other aircraft and they did it like this so I think it'll be okay!". There's a small part of me that admires him for just going for it but mostly I watch out of morbid fascination, waiting for the report that he's seriously injured himself.

He mentions it in the video, but the flight test he did was basically at night with no indicator lights and he live streamed it. The whole thing looked like an incredible shitshow.

I'd love to hear some critique of his process / design from people who actually know what they're doing.

I get a real "Young and Dumb" vibe from all the videos, but I know nothing about aircraft, so maybe it's all okay?
