Mike, you are the one man in this world that I admire the most. Two others would be Roger Federer and Jan Zelezny world record holder in men's Javelin.
3:46 Wow a HAF 932! I haven't seen one of those in 10 years. That was the king of computer cases back in the day. Back when having an external water cooling setup was a feature.
Mike halfway through your videos. I'm really enjoying the journey of your Wilga rebirth. Your enthusiasm is contagious, awesome series Sir. Thank you for the effort!
How handy can one guy be? Insanely cool project. Hands down the coolest bushplane in the world, by far. I m coming to Oskosh in 2019 from Antwerp, Belgium, to see the plane and hopefully shake your hand and congratulate you personally. Very, very impressed. Wow
I've been watching this entire series and this is my favorite episode. I love seeing stuff designed in the digital world like this and testing the fluid dynamics on the altered air frame is the most entertaining thing. I wish there were STEP or IGES files we could download of this entire project.
why would six people NOT like these videos? Apart from Draco being the best plane ever, all these guys, Mike, Trent etc seem like like salt of the earth!
terific engineering mike, i have used lasers and cnc machines so appreciate excatly where your coming from, keep the videos coming please, better than the crap on the tv!!
Wait do you have a house in the hangar also? I'm pretty positive you're my hero! Could you do a video about your background, your current profession, what got you into flying, how you learned to build aircrafts, and a tour of your hangar and details about all the equipment and planes\vehicles you have in there
There's been a few articles written about him that covers some of this. They're not very in-depth but should be a good start. Pretty much just Google his name.
Just go look him up on google it's crazy, he's built businesses for everything from building decks to senior living to designing EV hybrid technology and now has a oil and gas waste water disposal company.
i'm usually into the old stuff, but this is freaking cool! can't wait to see y'all at oshkosh, my dad and I usually bring an airplane or two out to wisconsin every summer. I'm actually at Westminster college in SLC utah, Studying Aviation. I'd love to see what you guys are doing down there. Love the vids!
This is what you show to Jr high and high school student's to pump them up to go to engineering school. I hope to see more videos if/when you do Turbulence. Maybe with a smidge more production on the video end.
Amazing shop / Amazing projects / Amazing talent Mike , Thanks for the videos. Question after all the modifications you have made to the Wilga will it be considered "experimental" , will it have to be FAA inspected? Thanks for the videos.
hi mike, ima retired mechanical engineer thats up to speed, i use solidworks 2016, master cam i do mold making and small parts prototyping i built a 4 axis cnc and cut loads of parts. i would love to get involved and can donate time to your projects. i love what you do i live in ogden.
Hey, my family has been flying Wilgas back in Poland for many years and I always thought that the angled stick that was on the original, radial engined, Wilgas was a very neat idea as it was keeping your wrist in a more natural position. Have you ever thought about trying to mount that Ray Allen grip with a cant like the sticks on those Wilgas 35A ?
It would have been classic if he was walking around the three guys on the computers if the last guy was playing Galaga when the camera panned him! lol $200 per hour and your playing Galaga! That would be so funny. Like the scene in Avengers
Need an apprentice? I would leave my Boeing job in a heartbeat to do something a hell of a lot more interesting like this. Even if it meant simply doing maintenance as I do have an A&P
What software are you using for the fluid modeling? How did you determine yield and ultimate on your engine mount? Did you model the resonate frequency of the engine & mount in combination with the natural frequency of the airframe? Did a PE look at the mod's? Looks like your doing some heavy duty mod's on a airframe not designed or stressed tested for them...or the loads your going to place on it. I wouldn't count on the +3 fudge factor to absorb the additional loads and stress. Stress and fatigue are cumulative.
Usually they represent range, i.e. distance from the scanner. I can't say for sure what software it was, but Leica has a proprietary software called Cyclone that is used for scan co-registration and pre-processing.
stel voor jy maak kontak met Ian du Toit by Optron in Kaapstadt, hy sal jou kan help. dit lyk asof hulle net n stock standard dell rekenaar gebruik met baie lag - dalk net die video.
I want one how do I get it I want one I'll buy one right now I want one just like that with a 700 horsepower most amazing little plane I've ever seen I can use it on my farm I can flight all other places Kentucky is there everywhere else where I go hunting and fishing I'm in love with this plane already I've got to have it
Hi Mike, how can I get in contact with you ??? I have my own carbon fiber project to develop based in the interior structure of piper navajo 310 and build a fiber carbon aircraft presurized wih only one turbine. I'd like to talk with you or your team. I live in Argentina South America. Thank you very much in advance. Best
Jesus...with a fan on the PC of that size, are you sure they haven't stolen one of your props?! I mean, whenever I build a new PC, if the cooling needs require anything over a 140 size fan, it's scrapped for a custom water loop. I.e., pretty much all my gaming rigs. Lulz

Really enjoyable to watch smart people with resources having fun, if society was made up of people like Mike we would have colonised Mars long ago.
Mike halfway through your videos. I'm really enjoying the journey of your Wilga rebirth. Your enthusiasm is contagious, awesome series Sir. Thank you for the effort!
just look at the equipment Mike has .... that's unbelievable ... and , please notice : how clean everything is

Dude! Unreal! I've watched all the flying vids of the Draco but just now finding these builds. Incredible!
This guy and everything around him is utterly fascinating !!!
How can there not be more views???
I've been watching this entire series and this is my favorite episode. I love seeing stuff designed in the digital world like this and testing the fluid dynamics on the altered air frame is the most entertaining thing. I wish there were STEP or IGES files we could download of this entire project.
I feel the same way.
Mate your Wilga is just brilliant , specially with all the upgrades , its much better than when it came out from the factory , Smashing work
Fascinating to see computer horsepower behind the design / modification process for Draco and Turbulence.
Dude your attitude and dedication is nothing short of inspiring.
why would six people NOT like these videos? Apart from Draco being the best plane ever, all these guys, Mike, Trent etc seem like like salt of the earth!
It's up to 10 thumbs down now so there's 10 guys with tiny little dick$ & even smaller skill sets & imagination. Pathetic really...
Loving watching your progress Mike , its really taking shape now . All the best , Scott ........
A pilots pilot. Such enthusiasm!
Wilga is dang near a helicopter ... pure joy watching your vids
Super stoked you uploading on youtube , keep the updates coming. Would be interested on seeing a tour of your planes and hangar.
And Im over here thinking my ancient autoscribe is the cats as haha.. Wicked cool stuff your doing

I couldn’t have asked the question you posed any better... I too am curious as fuk
There's been a few articles written about him that covers some of this. They're not very in-depth but should be a good start. Pretty much just Google his name.
This was explained in the intro video.
Just go look him up on google it's crazy, he's built businesses for everything from building decks to senior living to designing EV hybrid technology and now has a oil and gas waste water disposal company.
Fancy living up stairs with everything

Мне бы Вашу гениальность... Очень понравилось))
Great job on your wilga ....thank you for sharing your time and videos ..makes me want to finish my 62 182 lol
You are a machine, you and Draco were meant to be!
9 more people with bad aim! We got to get them from shooting lessons!
Great inspiration - Really love your passion for Aviation
Keep up the great work! It's very inspiring to see the work you do. Looking forward to more video's. Much support from Oklahoma.
Amazing shop / Amazing projects / Amazing talent Mike , Thanks for the videos. Question after all the modifications you have made to the Wilga will it be considered "experimental" , will it have to be FAA inspected? Thanks for the videos.
Thank you mike for a really interesting video and real answers.
I was going to look up a pork loin recipe, instead I wind up here...
I searched for a Wilga, well done.
I play with rc model gliders..how does anyone get the brain power to do this work, amazing, but he is loving it!
That is so awsome. Good luck ( meant math and physics) to u and u're team.
Wow with these files it would be amazing to Create Sim Model for X-plane, especially for such a unique plane.

Fantastic home aircraft manufacture ))

Very cool! How did the CFD on Turbulence go? Were you able to pick up a few knots?
I would be interested in seeing if the modifications do the wing tips of Draco protected the wings or if it was a waste of time and money.
Again I am here in place of searching cookie videos.
Bad ass plane...

Never be the smartest person in a room!
I’m also an electronic technician as well as a machinist
5:13 I would love to see the specs(everything INSIDE the case) on that PC in the Cooler Master case, PLEEEEEAAAASE?!
How did you account for flutter in turbulence. Do you have any vids on the development of the turbulence?
now I want a plane
I´m very like!
What does the coloring represent in the point cloud? Also, what software did you use with the Leica for the point cloud capture?
Usually they represent range, i.e. distance from the scanner. I can't say for sure what software it was, but Leica has a proprietary software called Cyclone that is used for scan co-registration and pre-processing.
How can you possibly resist taking the plastic off the monitor before using it???
Good day, would like to know what spec of pc does the leica and solidworks guys have. Love your vids.

Thanks
Thanks
did you ever fly ultra light aircraft ?
3d scanning software used???
I want one how do I get it I want one I'll buy one right now I want one just like that with a 700 horsepower most amazing little plane I've ever seen I can use it on my farm I can flight all other places Kentucky is there everywhere else where I go hunting and fishing I'm in love with this plane already I've got to have it
Turbulence hits 400kn speeds ???
*Which city and state..?*

What's the top speed of turbulence?!
Ase Morton fastest one there is. Look it up.
But what you should work on is the horrible acoustics in your lounge area ;)
3 guys way smarter than you? They must be pretty dam smart.
YOU MUST HAVE DEEP POCKETS BUD...........I,AM SURPRISED YOU DIDNT BUY A NEW ENGINE
