Most people “I’ll add a parachute but if I ever use it then the plane will be likely be totaled.”
Mike “I’ll add a parachute and do it so well that I can stay in the plane and fly it out of there the next day. Then I’ll test fire a chute just to make sure it actually works like I planned it.”
Mike you are a cut above buddy! Love these videos.
Underrated comment of the year.
If anyone can pull it off it would be him
Don't forget that this is a carbon fiber plane. Meaning the strength per cubic measuring value of your choice VS the standard variant (ignoring all the bells and whistles) is off the charts. You could probably bend a cub in half if you snapped those lines strong enough in a fall, where as the carbon fiber might bend, might even stress, but i doubt there can be forces involved that can deform the super structure short of a full dive, but then parachutes or not, you'd have a bad day.
If all things were square and equal, this is how all planes should be built. Mike is fortunate enough to be able to do it, and who knows, things he learns and shares, will maybe trickle down to everyone else.
The problem is the softer you want the plane to land on the chute, the heavier and larger the chute would have be.
He could experiment with airbags in the belly of the plane to save it i suppose.
@@aserta This is a steel tube structure still. Carbon covered, but NOT a carbon fiber airplane.
It seems like every episode I am just dumbfounded by the carbon fiber work you do. Other youtubers seem to put a ton of effort into their work and it comes out between "meh" and "it'll work". You make custom molds and one-off parts look like something that wouldn't be out of place on a Koenigsegg. Fantastic.
This man's workmanship is absolutely second to none. This is the most beautiful fitment job on parts that will NEVER be seen again. Great work as always Mike
I've been following the Scrappy build since the beginning, can't wait to see the finished plane. Looks awesome so far, Shared !
Mike is the most incredible person I have ever seen on the internet. He should win some award - DESIGNER/BUILDER OF THE DECADE or similar.
One of the fastest growing channels on TH-cam. I could see this becoming a Reality Show very easy... Building cool planes and back country adventures. It would be a hit for sure.
I hope not, reality tv is anything but, would be a shame to see a whole bunch of manufactured drama instead of real content, I hope theres many more years of Mike Patey doing his thing on TH-cam. I'd be happy if he had a second channel for the flying adventures and this one for the engineering side.
I'll subscribe
Yeah, keep it like it is. Don’t need a bunch of producers ‘adding value’ and in the process messing it all up. I personally love the low budget production look.
Also his goal is to get ppl into aviation, and I think this simple YT channel will do it WAY better than an overproduced, 30min, ad ridden, program that skips all the good bits (mold building / carbon layup) and dumbs it down for the masses.
A show like that wouldn’t show the pure passion the man has for aviation.
You would never find a cameraman prepared to work the hours, never mind post production people!
That’s my “okayest pilot” right there!😍
He owned something as pilot error when thousands of others would blame the plane, or the tower. Mike has all of my respect.
Chandra SlyFox Patey God bless you both.
Love that shirt, he rocks
Coming from the okayest wife ever!
he's the okayest "airplane builder" too......
The drive to get people to follow their passions and the work ethic to prove it can be done... Makes you one cool dude Mike.
Your changing all kinds of paradigms for me, no rollers, no ovens, your layup is very different. I’m learning so much, thank you
Nothing better than safety Mike. I have been a sailor (with a long time interest in GP aircraft) and I never took my boat to sea without all safety equipment. My family and friends are more valuable than the price of safety.
it is so much enjoyment watching an innovative engineer working with what he loves...The enthusiasm is in every video. One thing sure, there are NEVER dull moments and certainly no boring videos. Seeing this plane take shape is thrilling...Knowing there is overkill in every step makes it a true work of art with real function!
Mike, I don’t even fly, but I LOVE your videos. Your carbon fiber construction techniques are fascinating to me! You are a real 21st century craftsman!
I like your opening statement. Cars are the same way. A lot of advances in our new cars came from lessons learned at the track.
As far as finding my passion for something to do, Mike that takes money. I've been disabled for 13 years now. The money I had stashed away for retirement disintegrated when my inlaws were refused their hard earned health care from the VA. My father in law was an electronics engineer and worked for the navy during the was one of a handful of guys that designed, built and installed surface contact radar that allowed us to hunt down Nazi Uboats at night while they were recharging!
That’s amazing! Thank you for your comment. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great progress, almost as good as 'Squirrel!' Appreciate your priorities MP.
Mike, I grew up in SLC back in the '50s and '60s. I wish I had someone like you that I could come over and watch when I was a kid. I hung out at the SLC airport all they would let me. I learned a lot of things that served me well throughout the years. Thank You.
Mike, I can’t describe my emotions in words, when I see what you do, it’s just incredible! I hope to meet you in person sometime. You’re a legend!
MIke's willingness to sand the amount that he does, is what separates him from us mere mortals.....
TH-cam needs to add the double like button because once is not enough.
@@N1gel can you share names of some others in that list so that we can support them as well please....?
Nigel cockburn can you share the 10 people you really like on TH-cam
@@N1gel Is that really your name? It sounds like a British porn star. I'm picturing a guy with big pork-chop sideburns and seventies styled sunglasses and gold chains on a hairy chest. If it isn't a porn star name it should be. Just sayin...
Hahaha so true. 👍👍
Actually back in the old days youtube used to have a 5-star rating system, does anybody remember that? But people gave almost exclusively either 5 stars or 1 star so they changed it out for a binary option.
SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!!! Had me dying! 🤣. Mike's videos deserve to be shared, his sub count to talent ratio is way off. He should have over 500k by now. Seriously though your talent when it comes to building planes is off the charts. Can't wait for the next video, I want to see the rocket shute in action!
If you‘re feeling down, just turn on Mike‘s channel. There‘s so much positive energy coming from the okayest pilot, you‘re gonna feel better every time! I love it!
Everytime a custom piece snaps into place i‘m sitting there in awe. He‘s just amazing at this. So much hard work! Can‘t wait to see scrappy flying. Keep it up!
I agree, but at the same time I find his videos sometimes reinforces what a spectacular under-performer I am.
Mike, What an inspiration. My dad was the fourth born in a family of 10 kids and was the oldest still at home when My Grandfather passed away. Next to his Indian Scout his favorite stories were about his Gypsy Moth Bi-Plane. His last experience with the Wind was in a 30 ft sailboat. Two of my many cousins have or have had their own planes.
Mike you're a inspiration to everyone that wants to fabricate, build and use things that make us happy. We're deeply appreciative of your videos and passion.
Mike's efforts are worth far more than the airplane that he is building. I truly hope that some young person is as inspired by this as I am.
Every time Mike uploads, I end up spending the entire night working on something. Tonight it's prepping my van for race season.
Damm mike. Your an engineering genius huh. Looks like you’re this generation’s Howard Hughes aircrafts creativity future.
Only guy in the world who could make me watch a half hour video about a couple bits of channel. Still as fascinating as ever Mike - what an inspiration!
Thank you so much!! 🤠
Mike, I came across your TH-cam channel sometime ago and instantly I was hooked. I am a 64 year old man who always wanted to learn to fly. Unfortunately, making a living and raising a family got in the way. Then, at an age when I might invest the time and money to get my private pilot certification, I learned I had cancer, was treated for it and survived. One of the side effects of my treatment, however, is peripheral neuropathy (severe nerve pain) that requires use of narcotic pain medication to treat. That precludes me from passing the physical. So, I now live vicariously through videos of people like you who are enthusiasts. You are my favorite. I wait on pins and needles for each episode. Please, whatever you do, keep these videos coming. I absolutely love what you do!
Your positivity and enthusiasm is so contagious. I’m building out a van right now myself and loving the scrappy series when I’m done working
Very cool! I hope your van turns out awesome and you enjoy it!! 🤠
@18:30 he snaps the new roof panel on and. The way it fits is so satisfying. Just so good
That peace of mind having that chute will allow you to enjoy the plane even more and have fun with it without the fear of ripping something off and crashing. Once you get in your other planes without a parachute you feel that missing safety feeling.
Every video is a step closer ... and it's getting more and more exciting with every step. What fun to watch a genius craftsman at work!
I really appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication to high performance and efficiency. I am not a pilot, but I am an aviation enthusiast. The reason a came across you channel is the carbon fiber fabrication; you have taught me a lot and I always enjoy watching you and learning. Thanks.
.....I'm not quite sure what to think about the words on your shirt, Mike??? ...but after all the time I've spent watching you here AND then MEETING YOU at your "Builders Paradice" hanger/Home away from HOME/Shop...etc, etc, etc....I can only conclude that the statement on your shirt is just ONE MORE example of your "HUMBLE" demeanor....
Which I think is an extremely RARE thing for someone who has DONE things that 99% of the rest of the world will only ever DREAM about ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
And we ALL......"LOVE YOU"........Brother ! ....for sharing YOUR DREAMS with the rest of us.
......and I actually had other stuff to do BUT THAT stuff can WAIT, cause I AIN'T GONNA miss your next Scrappy..."Come together"....(sounds like something the Beatles once said, doesn't it?) ...video!
It was a gift from my wife’s cousin. She’s a smart mouth. 😂
Awesome, inspirational video as usual Mike - thank you - Freddie from South Africa
“It’s only midnight...” Mike, you are a madman! Absolutely my favorite channel!
You are a catalyst of inspiration! I’d take a week off of work just to watch you work and learn. Seriously. In a heart beat! I do IT for a law firm but have been doing ground school with a 93/94 yr old friend for 5 years. Don’t judge. I’m sure I could have had it done long ago but it’s the time and knowledge transfer that I love! I teach him more about technology and he teaches me more about the world and aviation. Keep doing what your doing! Your energy is great!!!!
That’s awesome! It’s all about the enjoyment, sounds like both of you have it figured out. 🤠
You make the whole process looking super easy, as everybody could do it. Absolutely fascinating.
And now we can also see how much you thought about every little detail before you started building.
Would be fascinating to see more of these „background/bts“ stories. Like the one with your wheels and suspension.
Greetings from Munich, Tom.
Every video i get more and more excited to see this build finished. Going to be absolutely beautiful
Awesome build, I love seeing you take the time for all the minute details and nock it out of the park, this Scrappy build is going to be a fully flying functional art piece! Thanks for sharing your joy and passion for aviation!
Way cool seeing how fast, well thought out, light weight and safety come together.
Mike, it was hard to appreciate all the work that went into that design until I saw your top, and rocket launcher, and how all of it fits together and works. This video revelaed so much of your thoughfulness and design excellence. You may be an okay pilot, but you are way beyond that as an engineer and builder. I am hard to impress but you are all the way there with me. Awesome.
I'm so excited! The Southpark piece was perfect.
I would love to sit down with Mike one Saturday afternoon, and just talk. He has got to be one of the best guys I know (not personally) and probably has tons of great stories to tell.
Your positivity is contagious. 👍 I have a super tiny machine shop in my garage and I’m out there every night.
I'm always so impressed of your breadth of skills and knowledge...they seem to be limitless. You can do so many different fabrication steps...because you do them yourself...they are done right. You are an airplane constructing monster! I enjoy your videos very much....thank you for allowing me to build and airplane along with you.
I so wish my dad was still alive to see your work. He loved aviation and was a mechanical engineer. He would have loved your channel. I soloed on my 16th birthday almost 50 years ago. That's when I went to get my physical for my student ticket and found out I was color blind and would never get to earn my commercial ticket to fly ag planes. I was crushed. I did learn to get my "fix" flying RC and flew for about 40 years or so until the doc once again crushed me and said no more getting out in the sun because of all of my skin cancers. I'm trying now to find a place to fly indoor planes, oh, and find a way to buy some planes for indoor flight. You have made me want to fly so much more now. I love your passion sir. Thank you for allowing us to follow along on your journey building your planes.
What an education; this is the best engineered aircraft ever built - the thought process alone is nothing short of sheer brilliance.
You're legit my hero Mike. Not only your engineering, fabricating, machining, and mediocre ;) flying skills, but the fact that you take the time to freely share your knowledge on top of it all.. hats off man.
I am glad that I don't live in your head way too many wheels spinning. You are a incredible engineer keep the videos coming. You are a rock star Mike.
By the way love the t shirt
Can we get a “let’s get back to work” shirt with the hand pump thing you do
Fuck ya I would definitely rock that t-shirt
On it!!🤠
Yes I need that shirt!
Make it fat kid sizes please! I want on for my topside dive shirt!
I would absolutely love to buy that shirt if you decide to make it!
The thing I like about you is you are a step above a "Can Do" attitude, you are are at the "Lets Do"!
Your patience and attention to detail is inspiring. I work in an industry where everything has to be built from scratch so I can really appreciate the high level of design and execution excellence that you achieve on a daily basis!
Newsfeed is full of scrappy and this vibe is awesome.
Such and inspirational man. His passion is contagious. The embodiment of aviation.
I too hope you'll never have to use it. I've lost two friends in aviation accidents that had they had a ballistic parachute installed it would have saved their lives. One, an airline pilot, the other a son of an airline pilots son who was going to follow his father in the airline industry. So much work to install, but considering the performance of "Scrappy" and the type of flying you do, it will be worth the effort! BACK TO WORK!!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your friends. Too many of those stories... all we can do is learn from those things and try to avoid the same incidences in the future.
Thank you for your comment.
Doug!!!! Really appreciate the humour that you mix into these videos.
What an incredible human being. So full of enthusiasm.
Mike can build anything. You are a superstar custom aircraft builder sir!
Keep it going Mike I’m Wheelchair bound and unable to get out and do like used to. But You. Keep the Dreams and motivation going mentally. Thanks Mike
Thank you, I appreciate the comment.. All my best wishes to you in accomplishing your goals and fulfilling your dreams. 🤠
WOW,... Mike Scrappy is awesome. With the landing gear on that thing and the size of the parachute box, you can do a chute "landing" with no damage. That wouldn't happen unless you did it on purpose. If you need to use it, it's because you are over the woods or steep mountains and lost power or broke the air frame.
❤️🤍💙 Mike your carbon fiber work is amazing!!! By the way you’re doing a great job and if I had 1/10 of your energy I’d be helping you!!!!
Oh boy put my new 150 carb away, Uncle Mikey is kids. Sweet progress, great safety feature there.
Corpsed at 5:20 - 5:35 . Reminds me of Lunch Break, and their versions of 'Old MacDonald'.
Thanks, Mike.
Love your work with the fibre ! You make it look so easy !
This channel is so underrated. It should have millions of subscribers.
Got to love when can put parts together and it be together waiting for finally a finished plane, hotrod, RC, and thing man or woman builds. When it comes together to be something it is so awesome.
I love that a guy who can and does make beautiful parts with carbon fiber and CNC machine billet... Also sometimes uses a hammer and a vice to bend a chunk of steel when appropriate
I love it when I see Harbor Freight Tool products in the background a supremely talented, multi-millionaire's, workshop. It give me a sense of hope. I think I have the same yellow handled concrete hammer / precision metal forming tool and giant yellow speed square.
Truth!
My parent's house was just a few houses away from Marks so I got to grow up next to him and work for him many years and back then they where not into flying yet so we would build jeeps/ rock crawlers in the driveway and as long as the tool or rock sometimes lol got the job done was good enough it didn't have to be Snap-on just because he could afford it. The first plane Mark built was literally in the driveway 🤣 Many fun times and fun stories they are both so full of energy and knowledge not to mention caring and friendly. Some of the best times of my childhood and teen years were spent destroying perfectly good vehicles to build some never seen before rock crawlers.
@@recklezz8089 What great memories for you to cherish!
"It's only midnight and we've got lots to do, lets get to work"... everything you need to know about Mike Patey right there lol. Amazing content as always.
Very inviting little cumulus over those mountains too... Looking good, Mike.
Being a former USAF F-111A Crew Chief I love watching your build videos and what goes into making your aircraft.
The fit on those carbon parts, just incredible.
So cool and very inspirational for my own projects. You're the man Mike! 💪 Keep the videos coming!
can't wait to see the wing.. fowler flaps wouldn't surprise me one bit... love this build
Astonishing zeal - inspiring to follow such a skilled and cheerfully modest man.
Might I take just a moment to tell you how grateful I am for your incredible intuitive instruction through demonstration, your remarkable abilities to impart technical skills by simple concise explanations while presenting clear examples. I have accrued an ample level of knowledge to feel comfortable with the notion of laying up carbon myself' never having had any practical experience.
It is of great benefit to learn by doing' as there are few substitutes for first hand application, albeit' having seen your comfortable demeanor and simple explanations of incremental steps within a process clearly foster cognitive visualization, immersing the viewer by progressive illustration is nearly equivalent to having had hands on experience, thank you so much.
I’m almost as excited as YOU are Mike. Keep it moving.
Can’t wait to see the first off airport landing of the flying trophy truck.
After watching your videos I feel confident in building an aircraft. Before your videos I wouldn't have considered it .
Thanks Mike!
Mike you’re an inspiration to watch. Your attitude and lust for life and all its possibilities never cease to amaze me. I can hardly to see Scrappy finished and airborne. Best wishes and get back to work😉 Nova Scotia is watching.
Love this build, so excited to see scrappy fly!!! Makes me want to get a pilots license again! I was lucky my High school had a plane, 1977 152. Now I don’t think you could get the insurance needed. Mike your such a positive influence for all who want to fly! Thank you
Amazing attention to details Mike. I was a lifelong wood butcher. Worked on some pretty high end millwork projects including Disneyland projects and huge Aquarium projects. Even Installed millwork in a store in the World Trade Center about 2 years before it was hit by the planes and came down. Also have done work on custom jet interiors and custom Yacht interiors. So needless to say I am fascinated by your projects. I have never worked with Carbon fiber but did a few fiberglass cloth projects which seems somewhat similar. Just not quite as messy. Can't wait to see that test. Good Luck Mike, but then anybody who does the kind of top quality work you do doesn't need luck.
Very excited about your progress on Scrappy. Thank you for the time and effort you expend to bring the "build" to us.
can someone convince this guy to make some merch?? i'd spend my entire paycheck hahaha
I'm sure he'd sell you a BestTugs shirt
Don't you need a Best Tug?
I'd like to see some carbon fiber mugs, cups, keychains... you name it!
khauri bainha He makes strips with soft Edge
khauri bainha On it! I promise!! 🤠
I like how these guys are always in a good mood and thinking of the next thing!!! Way to go!
You and so many other you tubers out there have been such an inspiration to me. I recently started the long road to my A&P license and launching my own business in aviation helping others to learn and grow. I also started the initial planning stages on building a composite version of the DH90 Dragonfly. One day I would love to sit and just talk airplanes with you and your brother. Maybe bounce some ideas off you guys. Keep spreading the joy of aviation, let’s all get back to work now!
Absolutely amazing! I have said it before and I will say it again but it is absolutely awesome to see the amount of thought, preparation and work that goes into designing and building a Mike Patey design. Absolutely LOVE IT!!❤️❤️
MEGA MEGA Genius!! A monomaniac on a mission. Howard Hughes in aviation and Einstein rolled into one.
The humor is great also, "A bit more to do." Bad bit is to make us under achievers a little morose. Oh Well. Rock on Mike!!!
Cannot wait for the first flight!!!!!!!
Harbor Freight hammer 😎 best tool ever. Short, handy, packs a punch.
Mike, I love the “squirrel” part. I’m the same way. I can hear one no matter what I’m doing, I’m looking for it🤣😂. And I live near a skydiving center in NC that’s right next to Ft Bragg so there’s a lot of distractions buzzing around.
I can probably speak for everyone when I say that we’re ready to see Scrappy fly.
Mike You radiate so many human feelings and so much happiness and so much energy it is a real pleasure to watch your videos. In addition I always dreamed of being able to fly a plane but with my Parkinson it is not possible so I do glider RC I follow your adventures with a lot of interest in my sailing boat . I am now in New Zealand and I come from France single-handed now it’s finished because my Parkinson’s disease
I’m sorry to hear about that. All my best wishes to you in your future, to be able to reach your goals and fulfill your dreams with sailing. Thank you so much for your comment.🤠
Mike Patey thank you I wish you all the best for your new plane Scrappy
19:22 "We got lucky this time." Hey, no Mike. You put in the thought and do the work and, in the end, get the reward. But, of course, you are a humble guy.
That cleared carbon is going to look awesome👍🇺🇸
As soon as I posted my question about an overhead window you then explained that you would have an overhead window LOL I should have known better. Mike, I would love to see your program integrated into a STEM program nationwide so that high-schools and technical schools could build an airplane alongside yours. Hope to meet you someday soon. Thanks for your spirit of craftsmanship!!
You are crazy amazing with your fitness of fiber and metal parts, I am a perfectionist and I am so stoked when I see your work. Fantastic job Mike, that is going to be one strong plane.
So very awesome... I can not wait to see this beast buzzing around Alaska... Happy Father’s Day... be safe brother!!!
Beautiful finish on the metalwork Mike! A very well done to your powder coat people.
I close these videos feeling SO motivated Mike is just the most talented guy on the planet .....Its good to see that you bend a few things the old fashioned way just like us mere mortals .
There must be a crew working behind the scenes as one guy could not do all that work...........but Mike can .!
Loved the “squirrel” ! My golden just watched a plane flying overhead. Probably thought it was a noisy bird..
Great video as usual!
Your brother is a heavy breather. I love the video series regardless !!
I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice.
Good god I love these videos!! You alone have gotten me salivating over building my own plane! Great work and keep it up!!
Note: Just a heads up, I use headphones almost exclusively and can hear the cameraman breathing lol. I would suggest either a lapel mic or a directional mic.
I knew you would answer my question, your design for the chute straps to be CG is amazing.
Thanks for the update Mike!!!!! If you ever find yourself in or passing through Kansas City, I'd love to meet you! My Grandfather was a pilot and an instructor. I only remember flying with him once before he lost his medical card (He was also a firefighter and developed severe COPD). I flew gliders for a while and my dad and I built and flew R/C for years. I want to get my powered license but at the moment it isn't in the budget. Two kids and a wife who deserves home renovations have to come first. Anyway, I can't wait to see how Scrappy turns out. Now, back to work!
👍👍
In the opener you should mention ability.
When you got it, you got it when you don't have it, you will never have it.
Love it!!! My favorite. Can't wait to see it done.
Keep up the pump
