Cute, but IF I had any money, I would go to DM and see about getting a T-37 for a toy. Loved that noisy little thing and I know it won’t try to kill me. Oh, If I HAD the $$$ to do that, I would figure out a way to retrofit a pair of quieter engines as well.
Sure is a very well done video!!! Great pleasant flight.
Having flown some 52 types of aircraft, I no way have come close to your list.
I would love to see your list if possible. jet36@comcast.net
Thanks for this informative presentation.

Good article. It does a good job of reminding us that building a plane is a whole lot more than just assembling the parts. Flight testing, if done properly, requires patience, adherence to the plan, and being ready when, not if, things don’t go as expected. You need to bring your A game for every test flight. Even well known kits with many flying examples still have the potential to surprise you.
