Peter has been unwilling to accept sound advise from several. Why would he listen to Mike?

Participation trophies don’t exist in the real world. What has Peter achieved? He got a few hundred people to invest in his project (escrows don’t count). He used the funds to to hire experts to get this project just far enough that it hasn’t killed anyone. The claims were $130,000, 300 knots, 1800# empty, 3600 nm range, 11gph max cruise, pressurized, AC. Something affordable for anyone. What he has is 130 knots, 3200+ empty, 400 nm range, not pressurized, runs the heat so it won’t overheat, only can fly early mornings.

Yeah, the A/C that he can't use because it loads the overheating engine that he already has to turn on the heater to keep from melting down. The fresh air vent kludge is a classic Peter "fix". Never mind the root cause of the problem, just cut a hole and let in some fresh air, it won't pressurize anyway.
