Actually one of the best video producers for how to's is in the control line arena. Windy Urtnowski is a master scratch builder. Watching his videos is both extremely informative and can be entertaining. Windy somehow can talk and chew gum at the same time :-) ... He makes it entertaining at times, joking around.. The great thing about Windy is that if you watch enough videos you will realize that while on one video he tells you to do it this way on another he'll show you a different way to get to the same point.. But he will always tell you why you don't want to do something, why it would be detrimental... Why it would cause stress to the airframe. Although the production quality is still no where near what some of the Glider videos are like. Some of his best works are very rough video, but they take you through the details and tricks.
Windy has one more concourse awards than any other pilot I am aware of. I was taught by Windy personally. My first solo scratch built put me in the front row at the Nats. I couldn't have had a better teacher. He showed me engineering, simple but effective ways to build...
For anyone that builds from scratch, the techniques are the same, although our disciplines are vastly different (power C/L vs sailplane).. But the engineering basics are the same.
