Workshop Chaos, My 15p Refund Rant & Jet Power FOMO

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 20:31

In this episode, I’m back in the workshop giving an update on the Summit project and some big rework plans to make the space more efficient. I also share progress on my winter project – the GP76, and what’s coming next on the build front.

Out at the field, it’s been a mixed bag: a negative snap canopy incident, some gyro aileron weirdness, and a few lessons learned the hard way.

Online, I’ve been feeling serious Jet Power Germany FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), found myself ranting about a broken rubber band and a 15p refund, and noticed FTL are looking for new team pilots – interesting timing!
