Possibly a great idea for your future in the field radiator repairs. I use QuickSteel 2 part epoxy putty. I cut off what I need, knead it, and pack it into the hole. I usually have holes in the cooling fins themselves, and I can pack this putty into the coil from both sides. It sets quick and is strong. I also use it for brake and clutch levers.

1:50 I always like seeing the towers on the north shore of pyramid lake. For those who are interested in geology. Those towers, rock outcroppings have formed kind of like how the Hawaiian islands form. At pyramid there is geothermal activity in that area. There are geysers right there. Each of those towers were once a geyser. They are built on layers and layers of minerals brought up from the earth's molten core. As the area above have changed, the geysers clog up and move to a different area. Hence why they are scattered apart.

Can totally relate on that foreign feeling switching over to the right seat man. I'm at the tail end of my flight school stuff and am currently in CFI training practicing all of the commercial pilot level maneuvers from the right seat. Good god was it a tough transition on those first two initial flights. Highly recommend though for you man, just from a safety and proficiency standpoint, that you take that thing out and right seat solo it every now and then. That will help build comfort using the opposite hands for things. Granted you have way more flight hours than me so take this with a grain of salt. But it certainly can't hurt to become proficient from both sides! Love your videos man. Keep putting out great content.
