He may have thought no body, no crime?

He may have, or maybe he thought he did nothing wrong, which is why he had it on youtube.

And so he disposed of the plane wreckage, as he needed to, lest he be fined, and he cut it up so it would fit in the bins.

He was a licensed pilot. It's unlikely he thought he hadn't done anything wrong.

He also repeatedly told the FAA and the NTSB he didn't know where the plane was -- whilst he was in fact cutting it up in his garage...

imo, he knew what he was doing was illegal, but didn't think it was wrong.
