Thank you for your awesome narrating! I am a farmer, and I do not have time to sit and watch these videos. But I do sync my phone to the tractor radio and follow along while I am working the fields. I glance down from time to time to see what you are doing, but it is easy to follow along without watching because you describe things so well. We have a 3000ft grass runway on the farm. It is a holdover from the 70's when my dad, his brothers, and my grandfather all learned to fly. I took flying lessons on the grass strip in a 152 when I was a teenager, but the plane got sold before I finished. Our farm family now has 7 young guys that live near and work on the farm, and we all want to learn to fly! We are hoping to have a few good years and get together on a plane! Thank you for the inspiring videos! -Chris
Hi Mike, absolutely love all your videos. In my opinion you are one of the most enthusiastic and passionate guys on TH-cam and find watching your videos educational and interesting. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see Scrappy in the air. 🙂👍
Nice work ! At least the good Mrs Patey didn't have to rib-stitch. looking forward to the paint job. I enjoy the covering phase of RC plane building. Full-size. you don't have to worry about the shrink forces distorting the structure and messing up your carefully built-in washout like I do !
Happy Father's Day from a Happy Father ! Work , the beautiful word that builds families & dreams. Thanks for embodying this for so many others brother !
AH.... don't forget to frame out some of the paint booth just in case it wants not go flat while something's dryin' !............For my curved windows I built a box with resistance wire, used a BIG D/C model train transformer and and placed my Acrylic in it ( nice even heat ) with cover, and my Shop Vac. ...... kinda like a toaster ....heat lamps help too.....and boy it works ! LOOKS GREAT MIKE ! wish I was as far along as you ..... ah..... bah ....... so be it !
Hi Mike. Great enthusiasm. Thanks for including your family. I am sure your wife ups the thumbs up considerably. Scrappy is going to be a wonderful flying experience. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!
You guys just make me smile - what an uplifting video to watch in every way! Mike's almost child-like (no insult intended - I wish I could still get this excited about ANYTHING!!) exuberance for the tasks at hand (and the bouncy-house paint booth, hahaha!), Chandra's big beautiful smile & positive attitude that just radiates, all the friends that come over to lend a hand, and not the least of which the AMAZING workmanship and engineering that's going on here. This should be shown is schools EVERYWHERE today, because THIS is how it's done - how LIFE is done! Within one generation, we'd probably solve 90% of the world's problems just showing Mike Patey vids to youngsters in classrooms across the globe. So much to learn in these videos - how to WORK, and how to LIVE! And it's FREE for anyone to watch! Thanks, Mike and Chandra - friggin love you guys!! 👍🍻
Smitty Smithsonite Aww, thank you so much! What a nice comment, I appreciate it. Also, I notice your profile pic!! Shooting (bullet manufacturing - Barnes Bullets) is my background, so I guess we’re friends now!! 🤗
@@ChandraSlyFoxPatey - You're very welcome, and indeed we are, Chandra! :) That's my Para Warthog in .45 ACP. A very compact 1911, with double the capacity, basically. I didn't know that about you! Fantastic!! 👍🍻😎
As a measure of your success on this platform Mike, the fact that you have only 150K subscribers (which will be 10x that number before long I'm sure) yet get 33% of that in views within 10 hours of posting, is testimony to your draw power. Clearly your fan base are like me, and can't wait for your content to be loaded, and watch it at the very soonest opportunity. On that I truely wish you had a full time camera person, following your whole day, and an editor cutting and posting it daily. Not to increase the production quality, it has a charm and is relatable as it is, but to increase the turn around and frequency of your inspirational and compelling content. I'm sure what you accomplish each day on your many projects would still compress into and captivate us for 20 to 30 minutes - the very next day.
@ "Bad Obsession Motorsport" did that for a couple of small aluminium brackets on Project Binky. Something like 8 hours from CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) to completion!
I was an AMS in the US NAVY but now I only build Balsa Aircraft. I have found double covering offers nothing but extra weight. The true strength comes from the Dope. However, the single biggest part is the weight is the paint. So the application technique is very important. Dope is the lightest product as 40% of its weight gasses off. I enjoy your builds
Mike, You really hit home when you said "even if you have some of your family members that you are not getting along with, still tell them how much you love them." I got a divorce over 8 years ago after 29 years of marriage and my three sons who live in Western NYS have gradually distanced themselves from me. I live in S.E. NC. For Fathers Day this and last year I did not get a single phone call from any of them. It's hurts beyond words and breaks my heart. I've been a great father to them and after the youngest got to 21 I got the divorce so it's not like I abandoned them at a young age, and to make it clear, they were not abused in any way. My point being, if you are the offspring and find yourself in similar circumstances, please tell your dad or mom you love them. It means so much to a parent to keep a relationship with their children. I love your channel Mike Patey because I can relate to your love of flying. It was always a dream of mine to become a pilot but have not realized it. I'm 65 now and financially unable of afford it so it's too late for me. Chase your dreams people, and never let go. Happy Father Day to all the dads.
I’m sorry to hear about your hardships with your family. Breaks my heart. I hope that healing is in your near future for your and your kids’ sakes.🙏🏼 Thank you for your gentle reminder. Best wishes to you.
One of the best things about Mike's videos. Is that you can see that everyone works together. To get stuff done. Sharing knowledge with each other. Sharing shop space, and tools. Or just plane helping each other out and teaching the younger ones. We need way more of this in the world!
Well you answered my burning question about what your wife thinks about all the work you put into your projects. I love to see teamwork like that. Very inspiring to watch. I can’t wait for Scrappy’s first flight.
I've been following your build of scrappy since day one and I have to say, you are an inspiration. When I do get my stuff together and finally have the chance to join avaiation, that will be one goal on my bucket list to build one airplane.
Wow...sir you are amazing! I can’t watch your vids at night because it’s like drinking a pot of coffee. Your excitement and energy is contagious. Keep up the good work I can’t wait to see the finished project!!!!
Attention to every minute detail is evident in your work, Mike. Thank you for bringing us this video. It's always special to have your "life partner" helping in the work. They inspire the best in each of us. I am excited to see the progress on Scrappy. I look forward to the day when we see its first flight.
What a class act you are Mike/Mark. Never lose your fabulous childlike zest & energy. Please be careful when you fly Scrappy to those incredible locations/destinations. Its such an extreme & capable plane that it would be so easy for you to push that fearless envelope beyond beyond. How about running another tombola type lucky dip winner type thing for one or maybe more of your avid fans to be able to meet you & then be taken up in Scrappy, maybe a charity type event. Every time I watch your You tube channel ....... YOU .... lift my spirits up high into the sky. Big luv from the UK. x
So enjoyable, and a learning experience to watch and listen to your videos...keep up the great work...Scrappy will be an awesome plane. Hope you and Mark had an awesome Father's Day yesterday.
Normally I'm watching these videos ASAP... This week however my wife & I have been enjoying our 1st grand child... Today I was spending time with our last, of 5 kids that will be headed to the U of U in the fall for engineering school....the Wyoming sun has set so back to the video...BTW what a great Father's day gift, to help out with the build so Mike can enjoy the family today.... GREAT JOB Momma Patty & Mrs. Sneed (sp) I'm hard of hearing hope I'm getting the right pronunciation....🤔😜 DANG SCRAPIES COMING TOGETHER....👍👍👍👍
Your videos are a highlight in my life, Mike. Your joy and enthusiasm is a joy to behold. And what a lucky man to have a wife like that! I hope you had a super fathers' day. Can't wait for the next installment!
I love how genuinely happy and relaxed Chandra looks. I was thinking the other day - I really hope you put as much time in at home and with your kids as you do in the workshop! But then you see moments like this and it seems all is well. The little snippets of family life - your son working on his ski's.. It's so good! Also , seeing this plane come together is incredible - those Y tracks - just divine!
Thank you so much. Mike does spend a lot of time at the hangar but always makes time when we need it. I’m also a pilot, so being down there doesn’t hurt my feelers.. 😃
Thank you for all your work and your video's. You get to live my dream, and I can watch for free. I had too many kids (5) and can't afford to fly yet. But if i keep watching this I may yet live the dream. Keep the wind under those wings.
I really can't get my head round why people give a thumbs down. Are they jealous that you have a beautiful wife who works magic with fabric? ( My wife makes quilts, but she hasn't made me a face mask yet!!!! )
I can't stop Smiling while watching your videos. Maybe it's because Everyone in your videos can't either, including you. Aside from the building of amazing aircraft, the smiles are the best part. Thank you for making us Smile.
Oh man but so awesome to watch this plane being built from the beginning and Scrappy is soooo close now, can't wait to see Scrappy take to the skies for the first time.
Cheers from Aussie, Mike. You are a genuine inspiration in this crazy time for the world. You both cheer me up and encourage me to push a little further. Happy Fathers day, mate and all the best to you and your family.
Happy father's day Mike! I spent time introducing my son to r/c aviation today, and he got his FAA registration at age 13 (before I completed my PPL). I'm so happy that he's taking an interest in flight as well as my Zenith build. Back to work! (Tomorrow 😁)
I dont fly, I havent really ever wanted to fly. But watching your videos are starting to change my mind. Really digging the content! Now Im pondering going to get my pilots license.
encryptor, go, do it, make it happen. The same infectiously positive people had an effect on me, too. 61, learning to fly in a Van's RV-12 I just bought. I thank folks like Mike and Mark Patey, Trent Palmer and Cory Robin to do the video's to show us how much fun it is. Follow your dreams, turn them to reality.
I find myself checking everyday for new content. Can’t wait to see Scrappy finished. I am a do it yourselfer around the house, watching your videos have inspired me in each project I attempt. WWMD, “What Would Mike Do”. Thanks
@Chandra SlyFox Patey It's good you don't suffer from *"Hanger Jealousy".* Mike spends more time figuring things out, building and working than anyone I have ever known. I've known some musician's wives that thought their husbands put in way too much time practicing and rehearsing, but I doubt any of them could rival Mike for time spent on his passions. Each of you having your own projects gives both your "Me" time, and makes the "Together" time that much better. I seriously doubt you two are ever without subjects to talk about.
David E. Burden Absolutely true. The hangar houses my airplane as well so I’m down there fairly often anyway. Sometimes I even get him in my back seat!! 😂😂
@Chandra SlyFox Patey If he doesn't have Scrappy ready in time, maybe you can fly him to Kansas for the awards. Hope to see you there, it would be great to meet you both.
You have me so tuned in. I love seeing things being built. You are teaching me a lot. You really should start teaching in a hands on program! They will learn earn a lot. Great job! Your infectious attitude is super awesome! You are a gold nugget out there!
Man you make me want to build one! Love your videos, they keep me excited about aviation even when A&P school is kicking my butt. Stay safe and happy flying!
Keep doing it and enjoy life AND the family. Love you videos. And I’m not even an engineer. Business Administration and a minor in Industrial Arts in Journalism. 👍🏻
Incredible talent and energy... The precision in all steps of the carbon fiber work is phenomenal.. I've learned a lot from seeing his work and got me doing a little carbon fiber work of my own to build in an additional safety factor to a small pressure cylinder.

Nice Risky Business slide there at the end Mike.
A well deserved day off.
Hope you had a great fathers day weekend.

Once again, awesome video Mike ! Your smile and your good mood always make me smile as well, good energy ! Greetings from Belgium
Mike, you should put an hour counter in the corner so we don't forget how much time you've put into this!
Can I have an hour counter for the number of hours I've spent watching his videos?
@ "Bad Obsession Motorsport" did that for a couple of small aluminium brackets on Project Binky. Something like 8 hours from CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) to completion!

Mike is the next generation of Jack Bally. Both do/did masterpieces, Mike just does it hyperspeed. RIP Jack.
This guy is one of the best role models out there
Another amazing video Mike! My unrealized ME in me tingles every time I get to spend time with you in the shop.
"Family is the most important thing in the world" It absolutely is...
@michael7deehaha! oh please 😂😂
Family is real, jesus is not 😂
michael7dee shouldn’t you be at Costco stocking up on toilet paper? And maybe some tin foil for your special hat.
Man I wish your videos were as long as a movie!!! Love watching scrappy come together!

Great video! Happy fathers day ....
From Scrappy 1, i enjoy every bit of your educational work. I love Aviation and i hope my Son will fulfill my dream...
Love to see Scrappy finished, but damn, the Wilga is calling 😜. Rock on Bouncy House!
If he ever switches to decaf, its gonna set general aviation back 15 years.
Imagine needing unprescribed drugs to function correctly
biplane development would come to a complete stop?
@@michaeljohnsonbaugh7962 imagine taking a joke so seriously.
Every aspect of this build continues to impress.
Happy Father's Day Mike! Every video has been awesome. You and your family deserve each other!
Thank you for all your work and your video's. You get to live my dream, and I can watch for free. I had too many kids (5) and can't afford to fly yet. But if i keep watching this I may yet live the dream. Keep the wind under those wings.

OUTSTANDING!!
Happy Father’s Day mike. Your a inspiration to us all I hope your day was special. Thanks for all your doing. Paul
Loved hearing you talk about shaping acrylic sheets! You wouldn’t believe what we used to make with sheets of acrylic and heat guns!
Amazing Mike... your carbon work blows me away.
I really can't get my head round why people give a thumbs down. Are they jealous that you have a beautiful wife who works magic with fabric? ( My wife makes quilts, but she hasn't made me a face mask yet!!!! )
neilshep50 Quilting is intense! I have friends who do it and wow! Amazing works of art. Thank you for your comment, I appreciate the support. 👍🏻👍🏻
I love this build.... if I ever need a little pick me up I just turn on one of your videos and the enthusiasm re-energizes me!
Thanks for bringing the videos faster. You have turned me from an aviation enthusiast, to a FULL ON JUNKIE!
Mikes enthusiasm and work ethic is so contagious!!! I can’t wait to see Scrappy finished!!!
I can't stop Smiling while watching your videos. Maybe it's because Everyone in your videos can't either, including you. Aside from the building of amazing aircraft, the smiles are the best part. Thank you for making us Smile.

I have been wanting one of those Booths for a few years now..They Rock!!...Scrappy is coming along fast now..👍👍👍🇺🇸
I have know idea why someone would give your videos a thumbs down. Great video, again.
Oh man but so awesome to watch this plane being built from the beginning and Scrappy is soooo close now, can't wait to see Scrappy take to the skies for the first time.
Don't forget wings - (unless they are already made - on the sly). They take time too.
It's amazing at the energy and joy you are having on the resurrection of your passion. "Adventures Await" Tim from Kentucky

It's good you don't suffer from *"Hanger Jealousy".*
Mike spends more time figuring things out, building and working than anyone I have ever known.

Great presentations Mike and happy fathers day from this side of the pond in the UK.......back to work .
Mike, thanks for the videos. I love seeing you work the carbon. Enjoying it from an undisclosed location overseas.
I really enjoy the high speed portions showing work. It is a great way to get a lot more content into each episode.
You have me so tuned in. I love seeing things being built. You are teaching me a lot. You really should start teaching in a hands on program! They will learn earn a lot. Great job! Your infectious attitude is super awesome! You are a gold nugget out there!
I was in the middle of an episode of The Sopranos and paused it to watch this. Shows just how awesome these videos are!!!
Awesome Mike, that made my day, thanks and happy fathers day!
Nice work getting all these videos out!
Man you make me want to build one!
Love your videos, they keep me excited about aviation even when A&P school is kicking my butt.
Stay safe and happy flying!
Loving the scrappy build can't wait to see you fly it and take it places.
Irrepressible is the description that come to mind every time I see Mike talking about one of his projects. He's a dynamo.
What an amazing project. I can't get enough of it. Keep up the good work.👍
Happy Fathers Day Mike - glad you are taking the day off - I have no Idea where you get all that energy from! peace - R
Keep doing it and enjoy life AND the family. Love you videos. And I’m not even an engineer. Business Administration and a minor in Industrial Arts in Journalism. 👍🏻
Incredible talent and energy... The precision in all steps of the carbon fiber work is phenomenal.. I've learned a lot from seeing his work and got me doing a little carbon fiber work of my own to build in an additional safety factor to a small pressure cylinder.
