- You probably didn't already know, but I LOVE carbon fiber. I have a small step on Scrappy that I would like to take care of. Watch along as I manufacture a custom carbon fiber part for my monster bush plane Scrappy.

Imagine, and hear me out: an episode of Smarter Every Day with Mike Patey about the upcoming wings and its mechanics. I am pretty sure that he'd be interested and I have a feeling that you two would understand each other :D
Also HELICOPTER TALK LET'S GOOOO
That would be such a great video!! My two favorite channels.
Upvoting this comment for visibility
Let see it!
And they said Infinity War was the most ambitious crossover event of all time...
This would be beyond awesome, and I bet Destin would be totally into it.
I was watching this video on my Apple TV and I went to my room for my computer to comment this exact idea
Helicopter
Yes, I was wondering if the "HELECOPTER"
was a new Patey invention.
daddy duke!
😂
Are you going to build a wewden cub any time soon?
YES 👈🤠👍👍👍
It comes as no surprise that Mike’s kids are insanely smart, also entrepreneurs, and also nice to their friends. You’re raising them right man!
Thank you so much. 🤗
@@ChandraSlyFoxPatey , indeed it’s also obvious that Mom ain’t no slouch either. Y’all have done a magnificent job. As humans it really is our number one job and sadly so many people seem oblivious to that fact.
I mean...making money on this kind of thing has got to be a new feeling for the Patey family! lol. Awesome job!
@@Bill_N_ATX Thank you. 🤗
Teaching is a superpower. Patey's need capes.
100% totally want to hear _everything_ about the helicopter.
Have you ever noticed how Mike is an inspirational speaker, a motivator, a dedicated person to sharing his passions in detail enough to teach others level, and no matter what he takes care of his family and always has a smile on his face. Dang, I just have the deepest respect. Thanks Mike.
Haha I knew the Smarter Everyday clip was coming when you said “laminar”!
Right I think they need to do some sort of calculation because they both have super crazy minds that understand stuff easy and they could build off of each other and maby just maby I doubt it even tho it would be fun to see bit maby come up with something Mike hasn't thought of yet🤣🤣
Even if it was just smarter evry day explaining everything in his owne perspective I would love to watch it
My mind instantly thought of this when I heard the word.
@@tristonholderness6558 I doubt there is anything Mike hasn't thought of yet !!!
I would love to see Destin come visit the shop and do a collaboration.
When he says "We got a helicopter" I assume that means "I built a helicopter while I was waiting on some of Scrappys' parts to dry"
When Mike Patey Builds a Helicopter... I want to ride that helicopter!!
😂🤠
What I love about Mike is, the fact that you can't tell whether he's more excited about making 2 small carbon parts, or about getting himself a heli :D
The “I love laminar flow” from @smartereveryday was perfect😂
Absolutely love the shout out to Destin and Smarter Everyday!
I don't know much about airplanes .... but the color scheme and craftsmanship of this plane is amazing .... work of art !
Why would we not want you to talk about helicopters?! Yes please!
Whoever does your video editing is totally awesome.
You must have to pay a fortune to a team of people to get this done.
Every video is so perfect. Music, videography, clips, content and can’t forget the best part: Mike
A mighty "YES!" to talking JetRanger, Mike. Just don't go showing off your newfound autorotation technique!
I'd like to hear more and see more of the little Draco that was peaking out from behind Scrappy. I saw something at the 12:00 minute mark that has me excited.
Yes, let's see the helicopter
Let’s see all the airplanes/helicopters in the hanger.
I second that
A Jetranger? Sure... it's nicer than mine.
Mine's imaginary.
Yes I Agree👍
@@shaunolinger964, mines about 4 inches tall and battery powered. Sadly, not much of a payload.
I really appreciate how Mike legitimises people's concerns, expresses appreciation, and explains himself which such enthusiasm. He's setting such a fine example for anyone that puts their work on display for the world to see and critique.
Hear, hear!
A beautiful finishing touch with the addition of the carbon fiber around those windows. It completes the look IMO. Please tell your son I am impressed with his helpful, creative spirit.
The attention to detail and utter perfectionism going into this build should be classified as therapy for people with OCD.
FACTS!!!
I know you probably hear this all the time but, Mike, you are Brilliant! There are those that are talented in many things but a master of none. You are talented in many things as well, however, you are a master of all of them! I know of no other person that I would have welcomed an opportunity to apprentice with and be at your side throughout your builds! Thank you!
I always love the little cut scenes to random movies and stuff. Always good for a chuckle!
Right, it’s amazing what they find
Absolutely love the Smarter Every Day clip insert! What I wouldn't give to hear the two of you nerd out on ANYTHING!!
Absolutely amazing.
I’d love to learn about the helicopter.
That part makes the back window flow so much better with the front ones. Before it looked kind of like an addition but now it’s prefect. Good work Mike
Helicopter build next? It’s what we all want Mike!
Just point scrappy up
That would be awesome!
@@brocklewis6809 that’s exactly what My thought.
Like father like son , awesome to see helping his buds that way , Plus is fun to get hands on on mechanical parts
When Scrappy videos pop up so you drop the garbage that you are watching to watch the build!
Now that you have installed the new window trim, I cannot imagine Scrappy without it! Nice works, as per usual!
"I love laminar flow" Love all the little inserte memes so to speak the Gaston and Aladdin stuff was perfect. Keep it up.
I come for the "back to work" but stay for the family relationships. Nice work Mike!
This dude seems to be living in an alternate universe where theres 100 hours in a day.
We make our own reality; Live in turds, or fly with eagles. Carbon fiber eagles, please! :-)
He probably has a Hermione Granger "Time Turner" necklace....
22 will do :)
it is amazing. Mikes time mgmt skills and ability to stay within and complete tasks are off the charts.
Whoever finds all those humorous movie/cartoon clips must have watched a ton of movies and has amazing recall.
I had that very thought during the video. Mike somehow researches, designs AND builds the coolest stuff, runs an awesome company, finds time with his family, is an incredible pilot, makes amazing videos AND peppers them with the clips to spice it up. I’m surprised he doesn’t have a million subscribers
"Mike you are definitely a 12!" Perfect is old school, it is the only way to build. My Dad taught me that "good enough" is where mistakes are born.
That’s a great statement! And especially in flying, we don’t want “good enough”. 👍🏼👍🏼
As a retired disabled AH-1 Cobra pilot, I look forward to all of your videos. Throw in some helicopter footage, thats a win win for me. Thank you for your time and contribution to the aviation community.
Mike, amazing, as always! One word of caution: You should really try to protect your skin when sanding down carbon fiber; that dust can cause long-term skin problems.
I second the motion. Epoxy resins are not user friendly.
Yup, once you become allergic to that toxin, you will never be able to work with it again.
Is normal clothing sufficient (long sleeve shirt) or is something more specialized recommended?
To be completely safe would mean wearing a onesie suit with air supply or at least a respirator. Same as automotive painters wear, or fiberglass boat builders wear. Of course it’s a hassle, but so is being hooked to an oxygen tank.
Mike, you can buy transfer punches that thread into your nut plates and protrude an adjustable height so you locate the part where you need it to be and lightly tap the part over the transfer punch. It makes a perfect punch mark right where the center of the nut plate is located. Also, your videos just keep getting better and better. Every time I see a Scrappy video show up, I automatically smile and settle in for the best entertainment You Tube has to offer.
Love the windshield fairings. Kind of has a Space Shuttle vibe now.
Helicopter tour would be awesome if you are interested in sharing. Scrappy looks to be an awesome search and rescue plane. Your videos are awesome, thanks for sharing Mike.
For those who is new to the channel the “fast forward “ is Mikes normal speed...
You giving away years of experience building, amazed every time I watch a video.
I wanted to be a Helo pilot when I was little, sadly an eyesight issue kept me from that dream. I spotted it in the hanger on the last video, of course I want to hear about it ! Jet Rangers are sweet flying machines, ridden in a couple of 'em. One I even got to sit up front and that was a real treat !
Videos like this series is why TH-cam was created. As a newly minted freshly graduated Mechanical Engineering Student (Class of 2020), I will never be able to repay how much motivation I've gotten from you over the years!!!! Thanks Mike!!!
Mike, your dedication to perfection in every detail makes my OCD smile and breath a deep sigh of relief! Thank you Sir!
I'm glad to see your son working on things. Nowdays, most kids can't change batteries in a flashlight and surely couldn't explain a transmission to save their neck.
Next episode: Mike realizes the steel frame of the airplane is too heavy and builds a new one from carbon fiber.
Yea and the motor is too heavy too so it's "SCRAPPED" and a new on is being built out of carbon fiber
@@migelikali7265 nah it would be titanium
Destin from smarter everyday is awesome. I love laminar flow too.
Talk about the Heli? S&*T yeah! Your boy's work ethic is wonderful, you and your wife have done a terrific job mate.
Thank you so much! (Do I detect some Aussie in your statement? 😁 🇦🇺)
@@ChandraSlyFoxPatey Yeah afraid so!
@@MrThuggery Well, we have a special place in our hearts for Aussies. The boys at Bush Flyers Down Under are some of my favorite people on the planet. Also, I’m addicted to Tim Tams and Red Frogs. You have all the good treats!!
@@ChandraSlyFoxPatey HAHA! Yeah I bet you and the fam would have lot of fun with that crew! Do you know the trick to eating a Tim Tam when drinking your fav coffee or tea? If you don't, just bite both ends of the Tim Tam and suck your tea or coffee through it's Highly addictive!
Your scrappy is a thing of beauty built with love. Almost to pretty to fly.. That will belong in a show room or hanging from a ceiling.. looking at takes my breath away. It’s gorgeous. One of a kind special
Mike reminds me of that scene in 'The Aviator', where Howard Hughes asks for all the rivets in the H-1 to be countersunk...
It's a nice detail, in the case of the H1 I think that if all the rivets were not countersunk it may not have actually been able to take off. That aircraft was so at the limit of what was even possible to fly at the time that literally any little thing to cut down on drag should have and would have been vital to success.
WOW that torque seal trick is completely showing off that genuine Patey 200 IQ genius level intelligence. I'd be over here thinking of messy silicone plugs and wooden dowels, but that's a no-fuss/no-mess solution. I'm off work for the weekend but I'll get back to work......on Monday!
I hope you will have Destin (SmarterEveryDay) over to interview you for us sometime, Mike.
I enjoy hearing each edit segment end with Mike saying WORK
(hard work is as absolute a principle as gravity! "... working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth." )
After many episodes I'm still amazed at your energy. Keep it flowing!
I can't stop thinking about the wing you're gonna build.
Hey Mike I know nothing about aeronautics but I recognise passion, dedication, commitment, expertise and enthusiasm. Your boy seems a great lad in the Patey mould. Can’t wait for next video, have a great weekend.
The trim looks great and was worth every minute it took to do.
OK, I now have my weekly fix of Mike-ness and I am recharged and excited to attack life and it’s challenges. If Mike can do it, I can, too! Thanks for sharing with us all, you guys - it’s awesome.
The fit and finish to this plane is amazing. Can’t wait to see it in person whenever fly ins start again. I was thinking all those steel fittings should / could be anodized orange, but I’m sure you have thousands them.
Anyone who says bodywork, carbon fiber work is not an art form is really misinformed. You are an artist! The pieces are absolutely wonderful, beautiful, functional and display a high degree of educated thought. You are an inspiration to the DIY design and manufacturing process. THANK YOU!!!
Let's see the new chopper. Take us for a ride.
Definitely want to hear about the heli!
Pretty awesome that your son is rebuilding transmissions! That's not a typical DIY car project, that takes some real skill.
Mike, buddy, stop stalling, pun intended, get to the wings! Also the helicopter is cool. Also well done with your kiddo! Tell him to keep it up. On edit when is your kiddo going to build an airplane, I would love a whole documentary on that.
First, I love seeing your son in the shop and seeing what he is working on. I love the father son relationship as I am sure you have with the rest of your family. Now to the point. You made a comment at 11:44 about you not being sure if you were wasting your time getting rid of a seam. In my humble opinion, I say no. That is what makes you and your airplanes so great, Absolute Perfection!
Hey, smarter every day! and yes, I’d like to see more about the helicopter too
that emergency window is very smart. I admire you, and your engineering
Pain when done something that is not quite right is hard to bear, right call, extra layer of fibre.
BTW good on your son with the gear box work.
I’m amazed as to how this video and or any previous posted videos of This build has any dislikes.... It’s been a pleasure watching this build Mike!!! Look forward to seeing the wing design! Thanks for your shares during this build!
I'd love to hear about the helicopter and how different it is to flying a bush plane.
Yes, I would love to see what you have going on with your Bell Jet Ranger.. My father was a design engineer with Bell in Texas in the late 60's and early 70's. He worked on the design for rotor blades. He ended up retiring from Boeing in Mesa, Arizona from what used to be McDonnell Douglas Helicopter when he first went to work there. That is such an awesome spot to land in the snow on that hilltop!!
would love to hear more about your HEL-E-COPTER or just the Helicopter.
THANK YOU MIKE! Your enthusiasm and good cheer are contagious. Trick on auto goop to save holes clever. Question of that port side kick out window: did you test it? You appear to extensively (think Scrappy wing design) answer all questions before doing, redoing only sometimes (like that beautiful fake looking window trim), and I would bet you know the window would operate exactly as designed. How high a wager is my question? I share your channel with any and every one who get making and doing. Keep your positivity flowing.
I dunoo why I'm even shocked at this point that Mike has a helipcoter...
BUT YES>>> CHOPPER VIDEOS PLEASE :)
WOW,,, the attention to minute details is absolutely AWESOME Mike !!!!!!!!!!!
I'd listen to Mike talk about helicopters as long than I'd listen to Destin talk about laminar flow. Maybe longer.
Awesome. Love how you encourage your son. More about the Helicopter please.
Show the copter!
It needs more power, and carbon fiber, and new rotor blades for better lift.... GBTW! 😃 - a -
Mike. Thank You for all your hard work in making these videos for us to watch. I always look forward to the next video.
Small version of Draco in the background looks like remote control
Would love to have an RC Draco... Would be my luck, it'd end up like the real Draco...
that is so Horizon Hobbies model they are coming out with any time soon we're all waiting for it
Have been waiting for a while I have my money saved up for already
There is a guy 3D printing a Draco on RC groups.
Beautiful! Now add fairings/ rock guards on the leading edges of the King shocks. That massive engine and prop is going to chuck hella rocks.
Hey, I’m a poet!
yes, do want to hear about the helicopter. you got a whole helicopter! lol let's hear about it. ...i'd rather see your son helping you, honestly. or as many others as possible. so he can help you speed things up and reap the rewards together and get your many years of experience. ...the added carbon completes the look for sure. nice one Mike.
Mike you inspire me so much, you are a true god of aviation and they should have a subject on you in all flight academies to inspire young aviators. My hats off to you and I hope you keep inspiring more and more people. Thank you for this amazing content
the moment you realize that mike is giggeling the whole time because he got a huge RC Draco sitting in the background and I bet he is trying to keep his composure as good as possible but is actually just about to burst and want to share that with us :D
Looks like Horizon Hobby is revealing the RC plane 3.18.21 - 9:00 AM Eastern!
@@DanToborowski Got one on order! Hope they do Scrappy next.
Mike. To find the hole position on the part I also dip a set screw (grub screw) in a little grease and screw in leaving 1/32 proud. Mould over and when you remove the part it leaves little dimples to drill exactly over the holes. Used it a few times on model aeroplanes and it works great.
"Get to the choppa!"
11:45 That's a decent size RC Draco in the background, can't wait to hear more about that!!
OK Mike, if you’re not gonna give us the wing yet, give us the helicopter.
His wing is going to be tilt-rotor like an Osprey. It's cheating for STOL, but it'll be interesting :P :)
He already have wings on scrappy.
It's just that these are rotating.
😂
Every time I watch mikes videos it makes my ocd happy. Absolutely love watching this build. Let’s see that helicopter 😬😬
Great video. It looks great. OK my question is how many more “little” projects you can find and avoid building the wings? LOL 😜😜
He probably is building the wings, in his spare time, in the other space/time universe he lives in.
I like how you added the smarter everyday guy! Well done. Like my two favorite channels rolled into one Mike.
As a suggestion could you have nestled the two "C" trims into each other. Legs towards legs and coated them in one layer of carbon then cut them out to save overall carbon? or am I missing something?
thanks great videos.
Inspiring Mike. The thought & artisanship you put on the table is world class.
Absolutely! Why would talking about the helicopter even be a question?!
Yay! Another Mike Patey video! You should do a video on all your past and current planes and helicopters!
The difference in your success and others is that the first part was not “good enough”. Impressive.
I think what I like best about you Mike other than your genius is your OCD perfectionism. Bravo
At this rate 10 years from now Mike's son is gonna be building a spaceship out of his garage and doing test flights around the moon
And at that time Mike will start building Scrappy's wings. lol
Rocket lab in New Zealand are building carbon fibre rockets now. They’ll be looking for talent no doubt.
Right now they're probably wondering why their supplier is sold out of CF... because it all being delivered to the Patey hanger.
My quotational prediction for our kids (and grandkids): "Everything for certified spacecraft costs ten times more than experimental spacecraft!"
Yes Mike, helicopter content would be great and more regular postings...missing your content (I appreciate the difficulty we are all having to work around), but as an engineer your content is so interesting. Thanks Mike.
Like Father, Like Son....
I wouldwatch his YT videos.... ^^
Dad how much are you making an hour ? I'll show you on the wall get me the box of dry erase markers...A whole box ? Better make it two I'll cover cross market platforms and yield to content ratio and some other things and you'll need to sign a disclosure agreement 😉
That kid is learning some great skills and making more than any retail job he'd ever get! Dang son
Mike is approaching the type R crowd with Scrappy's subtle add-ons
His “quick, simple part” would have taken me 4 months with countless do-overs😳
