I'm always just a little sad when an episode ends. Excellent work!
The intro always gets stomping my feet to the beat. So motivational 💪🏼
A little Patey to heal the soul. Best content ever.
Jazz is the perfect sound track to aerospace composite layup.
Mike Patey is the DaVinci of the modern era. So lucky to have this on video.
That was an interesting design of the nose gear, you are always coming up with new and innovative ways of doing things. As a aircraft mechanic, I really admire that. Keep up the good work Mike.
Thank you very much!
Id like to see more of it, any chance of showing us more details?
Mike, your engineering abilities, the guts you have to tackle projects most of us would say were impossible (yet you make look easy), starting with a clean sheet and designing something this robust yet simple, makes you a rock star in my book. I keep going back in my mind to the overall build, somehow you manage to get the CG just right. That in itself is a feat of elephantine proportions.
Glad you’re sharing this older video with us. Inspiring to see decades ago Mike just as humble and enthusiastic.
I am continuously amazed at this man. And then to give the design to another company. WOW!
wohoo the video is back!
This one has that "old" times vibe, spending fun time with guys in the shop. Joy to watch, thanks, have a good time.
Mike Patey ... Imaginative, outside the box thinking, coupled with excellent and creative engineering and fabrication skills ... I'm always gobsmacked at whatever you do
Beautiful design and awesome hardware!
Love the random quotes. “What a great day” “the best day” and so on.
The world is better place when we live from gratitude💪🏻
Turbulence is incredible. PLEASE don't forget the house. I as hooked on that series as much as DRACO & SCRAPPY!! Always looking forward to your videos. OSHKOSH TOO. Safe travels.
Another inspiring video of the genius that Mike is.
I feel that much more professional now after seeing Mike Patey using a hammer to install a bearing.
Bushing
😂 I have to admit I almost pulled that clip in edit, then 🤷♂️😂 what the heck, it’s just me. It’s what I did this time on a non high press fit bearings needing a love tap to sneak in. Also a bushing I did the same. Press is the way to go. This bearing turns a quarter turn only during swing, I could have just used a bushing. Oh also I use claw hammers to build planes 🤪 grew up as a framer, love hammers since I could crawl. How about this for a video warning??, “Do not do this at home, may cause cancer or a smashed finger, use a press”. Love the comment ❤️ thanks for following this knucklehead. Your the best.
@@MikePateyis that why you reuploaded the video? Lol💪
@@MikePatey now I’m about 40% smarter that you replied! Don’t worry I just ordered a brand new claw hammer 😂. Nah man jk I love the work! I’m knee deep in cad and 3D printing all because of you man. Thanks for the inspiration!
@@mertonallowicious😂 I am curious what happened to the first one 🤷♂️ my friend Josh does the videos and releases now and I didn’t know it got uploaded again until I read it in these comments. I’ll ask him Monday. My guess is upload problems or sound or weird stuff is usually why we do it again. No idea 🤷♂️
When someone deserve the titel leading engineer it´s you Mike ! Everything is perfect you engineer ! astonishing
Dude, you are so positive and motivated. I wish I had some of your bottomless enthusiasm. Can you make a video that tells me how I can live like you. You are a legend sir. Respect.
WHAT AN AMAZING BUILD and a very fast Plane....Thanks Mike and crew....Blessing to y'all ❣🙏🙏🙏👍
Shoe🇺🇸
You've got some great stories to tell, and it's great to watch you tell them. Thanks for the video!
Mike, I really enjoy the videos of the work you do in creating, designing and building totally unique parts of the experimental aircraft you build. Thanks
This guy builds three custom airplanes in the time it takes me to finally get around to organizing my garage.
I have been watching your channel from the very beginning...very simply put.. you are hands down the hardest working smartest human....period!
I don't know a damn thing about aviation or flying airplanes, but all your videos are inspirational to me as a human being.
Amazing. Love these vids. Blows my mind!!! Thanks for sharing!
It was very gratifying to hear that there are other planes using your landing gear. I build race cars and always struggle to justify to myself the time spent designing one off parts that won't benefit anyone else.
Doing one-offs is putting a lot of faith out there. It’s awesome you’re taking on the challenge and making it work, even if only for yourself 👍👍
Perfect timing for me ! Just like a bed time story 😊
Any chance you will fly during one of the air shows at Oshkosh? It would be cool to see this do a low pass!
Mike is exceptionally smart, highly motivated and always doing something that pushes the edge of the envelope. Aeronautical genus, keep them coming Mike!
Great video! MOAR! MOAR! TURBULENCE!!
You really are a real life tony stark/iron man! If they say they have seen a real life iron man i know exactly who built and is probly in it!!
11:47 - love the music and the mood
Never knew you were such a Broncos fan. Love it!
It was required as I’m from Colorado 😆 🧡💙
@@ChandraSlyFoxPatey Hoping for at least a conference appearance this year.
“Just have it” (about licensing the gear design). What a stand up guy.
It's amazing how much footage you guys have and how good some of this footage is for all of it from before the TH-cam channel era.
I am insanely excited that you are sharing this build series. Thank you and Mark for the incredible innovations that you both are bringing to Aviation. It’s desperately needed. Turbulence is the baddest aircraft in the sky and I wish I could see it in person.😎
I don't know who first said that Mike's real hobby was sanding and he just makes airplanes as an excuse to do more sanding, but I was not disappointed by the amount of sanding in the construction of Turbulence. The carbon fiber was a gimme but the thickness of the anodising was bonus.
Is that why he makes enormous custom, mirror smooth carbon fibre cowls for his planes, to get more more sanding in? 😀 I can see it, Mike leads a busy, hectic lifestyle. A bit of quiet sanding at the end of the day would be almost meditative.
Mike over the years you have totally changed and improved with novel and new ideas a number of aircraft designs made by other designers.
It it now not time for you to design and build a unique Mike Patey design to surprise and amaze the aviation world with your tremendous insight and design abilities.
I am 70 and have seen unbelievable advances in aviation in my life time so far so please do not disappoint l would like to see a 100 percent unique Mike Patey design in the near future and l am sure there are thousands of your admirers and followers that would like to see the same.
Michael Hickman Durban South Africa.
I am very impressed, you did the right thing not licensing the nose gear design. Giving it out for all to use was very kind and says a lot about you as a person, you are a stand up guy. Small fish like me appreciate what you did.
Giving it for free also reduces liability
I first learned about you during the Draco build. You design and production of the parts is incredible. Your mold making is fantastic. Your attention to even the smallest detail leads to beautiful aircraft with amazing capabilities. I would have loved to work with you on any of your builds just for the experience of it.
Absolutely agree. I enjoy making complicated parts to a high standard, but there haven't been many chances come my way to work at the level Mike maintains in everything he does. It would be a great experience working in a team that sets such high standards over a huge variety of aspects of the complete project.
One lesson from the Gimli Glider was that it can be advantageous to have the nose gear drop into the wind, as opposed to pushing forward against it. Of course in this case, it would have moved the gear back, decreasing the directional stability that you mentioned. So, best not run out of fuel over Manitoba. 🙂
Genius! He seems surprised when something he made turns out perfect. Nobody else is surprised. Absolute genius.
Thats an almost perfectly true comment.
For a very good reason.
Mike has the knowledge to be able to foresee all (but in Mikes mind its, HOPEFULLY all) the possible problems that enable the flow of the designs.
Without foreseeing all the possible problems, the design will be flawed.
Public hardly ever have the ability to watch Mikes vodeos and be a step ahead in our minds, because they cant see the potential problems looming up at the designs.
So when a designed part is built and it works, that evidences for Mike that he didnt unforsee any of the foreseable problems.
Thats an adrenaline rush that makes great people deservedly pleased to be who they are.
Its called self esteam.
That is exactly what stops otherwise justified "self confidence", from entering the slippery slope down to stupidity.
Some people will measure, cut, and measure again to check upon their own skills and tool quality etc.
Others simply measure and cut and bash it into place (if they bother to measure).
Mike is simply in the former measure cut measure group.
loving this series's of videos on Turbulence...
Thanks for the reupload! This is SUCH a cool video
👍 this second upload should play better. Thanks Mike.
There are two words that impress the hell out of me in this video: "... absolutely not..." ...RESPECT - when asked by a commercial entity if they could licence your design and you used those two words while giving free access to video and supporting material, that demonstrates passion and a true love for design and innovation. I work in a totally different environment (extreme offshore kayak fishing) but gain so much from your philosophy of safety and sharing... ...love your work, thank you !!!
From the hacks at rebuild rescue to jimmys world……then there is Mike Patey!
I could sit and watch Mike design and build anything for hours on end. I am fascinated watching these videos.
This series could be 2hrs long and l would have to pause it to get a coffee it is that interesting. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks Mike, always good day when you put up a video!
When it’s not been done before it’s a Mike Patey path to realization. Imagine the impossible into existence. Very satisfying watching the birth of beast mode plane parts working as designed.
Much love from Texas! You are the man Mike!! I hope for many more late nights with my machines chasing the dreams like you do!!
Mike, another incredible project completed. It is really fascinating to she how you make things work - right.
I would just like to say, You are an inspiration. As a car builder and a pilot, I really admire the hours and the thought you put into everything you do. I admire the motivation you keep and the positive attitude you have!
Turbulence is my airplane of yours and I’m thrilled to see these videos. I absolutely love your house build videos, and all of your other stuff as well. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
Back to work Mike!
Was great to see you and Ron work naturally and happily together, I suppose back in the day when wasnt for TH-cam so he wasnt camera shy! lol
I Have to agree with all of the comments below Mr. Mike, Great Video. Thanks for sharing..🙃
That Av8r shirt looked so good I had to order one on the spot. Love everything you do Mike! You are inspiring a whole new generation!
The appearance of the claw hammer @ 9:27, made me think back to your humble beginnings building decks with your brother. Loved this video!
The airplane build videos are awesome
Ok Mike, I get it-- you're awesome! Nothing is ever enough! It looks exhausting.
Awesome!
With an aeroplane like that, you have to have snappy-acting landing gear to compliment its speed. Good, work!
Totally awesome got my license back in 1980 and did a lot of flying when I was younger all of it private had to put it all aside to raise the kids and make sure they never went without. I just started to get back into it but always kept up with my armchair flying I just think it is so nice to see someone like yourself so excited about building flying and able to do what you do I look forward to discovering more of your channel. Thank you
I love your channel getting back to planes. However.....I am intensely curious regarding your water treatment project that we learned about during your Scrappy build. Any chance we can get some videos about that? Even a longer, documentary format would be, IMO, well received and popular.
Oh Man that is beautiful Mike, I can hardly wait till you transition to Zero Gravity Space Cruisers with Magnetic drive....
Mike, this is a better series than the Scrappy build! That one was way to long. Draco is still my favorite and I'm waiting for Draco X! Have a good one!
Awesome. Thank you.
So glad you’re doing this series about this amazing plane!
I would love to hear you talk about the businesses you built some time also. Those are no less incredible and I suspect I could learn a lot from your success!
You are a engineering genius!!!
Mike, I’m struggling through a massive construction project right now, without much help. Some days, watching your videos make me feel utterly unqualified to keep going, due to the fact that I don’t have the in-depth knowledge to solve all of the problems I encounter. However, I always end up coming back and watching your endless work ethic and it inspires me to GET BACK TO WORK. Thank you for sharing the incredible work you do with all of us online, you have a more profound effect on people than you may know!
Woop woop!
Two uploads from Mike in one day? 😉
Define: Genius ---- Mike Patey
Thanks for letting us tag along. I don’t get to see genius in action everyday
I love the FAA approved claw hammer!
Yay it’s back
Great series, back to work, thanks for sharing.
Another excellent video Mike. Your abilities are amazing. You never ceases to amaze me. Turbulence is an amazing aircraft, built by an amazing guy. Keep up the excellent work as always. Safe skies my friend 🇺🇸🛩️
That landing gear is butter smooth. Great job Mike. You're quite the inspiration and role model.
I think you're my hero Mike.
Thing is pretty killer 🤘
Mike, you're my hero!!!
Thanks for the insight into such a complex part.
You reminded me that prior to 3D models, we designed aircraft using drafting boards and slide rules. Today however, we can do so much more with the likes of CATIA and Solid Works.
You today my friend, are the equivalent of over 30 to100 engineers and drafting technicians. Truly remarkable.
Awesome. Thanks bud!
Mike is No1 in the world!
Hey Mike,
I'm a retired Welsh Paramedic living in Cwmbran, South Wales, UK, I Had to retire on grounds of Ill health after injuring my spine. So Mobility limited but a life long aviation fan (My Dad was in the RAF just after the war, last deployment was Kai tak in Hong kong...The final place in the world to use the Spitfire operationally!) So what to do now? Well I'm not particularl rich as Ambulance Service Pension was limited due to enforced earlier retirement... I built a Home flight simulator based around the revolutionary Honeycomb Alpha + Bravo units!...also make scale model aircraft...and I Avidly watch You Tube aviation videos, LOTS of them and then I discovered your channel, the result was total awe struck inspiration!, I have a brother who has his own light engineering company, he does a lot of CAD work, anyway, I've converted him to watch your aviaton contruction videos too from his usual diet of high performance Motor cycle ones!
Sorry for the 'Life story' part but I wanted to illustrate how your videos have reached far and wide but not only in a geographical sense but in a socially diverse one! Plus they certainly cheered me up on bleak days where chronic pain rears it's ugly head!
So..a new Subscriber and avid follower from Wales. in the UK.
Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Cymru am byth!
That was incredible. I have learned so much from you. Thank you
Mike you're crazy in the good way. Amazing making a landing gear housing that is sealed off from the pressures of the air cooling and super flush to reduce even the tiniest COD. Oh and the engraved Turbulence on the landing gear doors was the attention to detail top gear finishing touch.
Hey I like your Tesla. I'd sure love to see you make a battery powered airplane. I'm confident no one could make one more efficient and gorgeous than you can. Of course you couldn't (today) have enough power to get anywhere near the range of Turbulence but I'm sure you could beat the range of the battery powered electric flight trainers in use today.
Once again incredible effort, applied engineering and amazing better than factory quality and safety.
Inspirational & genius!
You’re an amazing man Mike Patey!!
From one engineer to another... Elegant.
If you created videos on your Tug designing and production , I would binge those.
AMAZING !
Thanks Mike👍
Mike
I wanna see you build a twin engine version in the same format as the Composit pound racer was
....you know, the Reno racer
So much fun watching Turbulence come together, the engineering, the re-creating parts for this one-off build...amazing. Can't imagine the cubic dollars it took to get there.
