Mike is building the Chuck Norris of airplanes.
"Yeah, I clipped a mountain with my wing, now theres a huge chunk of mountian missing."
Corona virus came in contact with Chuck Norris -
Now it's in quarantine for 2 weeks.
Fromaggio Vagiola 🤣😂🤣😂
ahh thats what happen to Mt Saint Helens in the 80's
Fromaggio Vagiola it didn’t make it apparently. Chuck is doing well though.. 🤫
Eurgh!
I really like that Kevlar idea. No repairs needed there!
Best DIY videos on YT. I wonder how he'll mount the bomb racks on the wings.
Mike, not only do I love the genius of your work, but your workmanship is beyond reproach. Now back to work!
They are hard to find but there are many Mikes on Youtoob.
Mark Felton Productions - Mike Patey of history.
Scrappy Videos make being stuck at home worth while ... Thanks Mike !
Mike, I'm a master auto tech/shop foreman plus I build race cars, engine, wiring, etc etc. You have a great eye for detail and think way ahead of your work. Glad to see someone like me in a lot of ways. Keep up the great work..
No compromise, ever! Love it! The airfoil is stronger and more efficient then flat. How come you're so damn smart? Anyone watching the whole build, will turn into an expert. Thank you for the free lessons!
Pretty sure one day, aviation maintenance schools will issue full packages of these videos as their "carbon-fiber course".
His videos can be used in a "how to go overboard" course
@@Trophyman well, regarding that... i can't be the only one suspecting that Mike also made his own bed ouf of carbonfiber.
When we got fron him that he was going crazy on the Carbonfiber i didn't expect this to become borderline morbid.
But hey, watching him coat everything in carbonfiber is just glorious!
Mike Patey...the EDISON OF AVIATION!!!Another great video with TONS of learning!
Captain Charlie Bravo he needs to design a new shop program for high schools!
So matter of fact about building a handmade airplane...awesome!!
Seriously! Mike is the MAN!
@Viscous Shear Glad that someone knows the truth!!!!!
You know you're hooked when you see the bell notification and instantly you hope its a scrappy video. As usual great info.
Not gonna lie love the Scrappy build, but low-key am hoping it's the start of the new Draco build
Mike I could watch your videos all day everyday. You are one intelligent human being. Wow to be 18 and shadowing you, would have been better than any college degree around. Thank you fo sharing yourself with us!
Hard to believe this much time has past. Keep up the great work.
OK this is coming from a composites Engineer...I've been working with this stuff my entire life, and have some papers (certs and diplomas) saying I know the FRP world. I say this so you will understand the magnitude of my next statement. This man knows his stuff! I mean...REALLY knows what he is doing! There are some things that I would do different, but they are purely judgment calls, different ways of doing things.
I used to build RV sailplane models from vacuum bagged carbon, glass and Kevlar. I experienced this very phenomenon; Raw Kevlar cloth could not be torn and could only be cut with special scissors. However, once it was laid up with resin it could break and tear like glass. In fact, after a crash, you could take a piece of epoxy-impregnated Kevlar which had begun to tear and then continue tearing it with your bare hands.
I’m inclined to think that the carbon and steel will do the job of carrying aerodynamic loads and preventing flutter quite nicely, but the Kevlar will add some thickness and some resin and not much else. Laying up the carbon on a 45 degree bias would help immensely with torsional flexing, and I assume Mike did this. This is an amazing plane, and so overbuilt that I see little risk in the layup schedule, even if the strength to weight doesn’t quite work out as intended.
Just discussion points-not criticism. Mike has advanced the art and technology of home building more than any human in a very long time, and he he is rightfully assuming his place alongside Burt Rutan and Dick Van Grunsvan.
SUCH A PLEASURE TO SEE SOMEONE WHO LOVES WHAT THEY DO !
CONSIDER YOURSELF A LUCKY PERSON !
THE MORE YOU LOVE THE HARDER YOU WORK !
BROTHER... IT SHOWS !
Logically, I watch your channel because I am a pilot, but your motivation encourages me every time and reminds me that I enjoy being a software developer as much as you enjoy building your plane.
Sure I would love to have a man cave hangar like you and build planes every day, but at least I fly in my spare time! So back to work.
I truly don’t understand the people that gives Mikes videos a 👎🏼 Dislike. 🙄 They truly aren’t Aviators.
Like the new shorter videos more often. I've learned a lot of new tricks for working with fiberglass and composites and building in general. Thanks
Back when I was in the Navy, I was an Aviation Structural Mechanic and I spent my entire time in the Navy painting aircraft ( S3 Vikings). We would have to sand around panels that were removed for inspections, then seal and paint the panels when the inspections were completed. On different panels we would have to feather the layers of paint. I remember counting one time and this one aircraft had 57 layers of primer and paint. I can only imagine how much that weighed. The book called for one primer coat and two top coats.... But the skippers had to have their birds pretty. A lot of them ended up going to NARF to get completely stripped. That's another interesting process....
Even if I had no idea of what you're doing , I'd still be excited by your enthusiasm . BACK TO WORK !!!!
I miss Draco so much, I never got to see it in person but it was a seriously amazing piece of engineering. I can't wait to see Scrappy finished. Love your excitement in what you do mate, it is inspiring to watch you work.
Coolest shot is Drago backing into the hanger. What a great plane it was.
That makes me chuckle every time I watch the "out-tro" on his videos. You just know there's someone watching who doesn't know the story of Draco. He backs up the video thinking, "What the hell was that!!???" ;^)
Is not was, Draco is social distancing while his creator clears his creative mind sanding on some passing fancy with pistons
Your truly my biggest idol in life, the creativity and joy you have about aviation makes me so happy and I can't wait to someday be in the same place you are at, happy and around aviation
Mike Patey ! So many great comments by viewers. Superb Content. Thank You.
Mike, love the shorter more frequent updates. You are such an inspiring guy and my 13 year old son and I love watching together from Australia! Thanks
Your joy is contagious. Thanks Mike for sharing with us. We are better people for it.
Scrappy as is an appropriate name for this Cub but not because of its make up of used parts but because of the character and attitude that it and it's owner exude. Neat airplane!
Look forward to every edition brilliant onwards and upwards 👍👍
Thank you Mike. I learn more from each video. My favorite aviation channel!
Nice going Mike... now I’m late for work. But a bit smarter...... Back To Work. 💪
i work at a mechanic shop and im the only AV nerd. when my co worker asked me about making a part from carbon for his project car i showed him the building of the dash panel and he was blown away. im sure you will have a new subscriber today. Also im a fan of the newer shorter videos its alot more in line with the format you see on youtube!
Hi I started flying when I was 18 years old I got my commercial licence (never used it much) now 72 I haven't pilot a plane since 1987 but always loved it. Because of high blood pressure and some other problems if I fly again it will be ultra light.
You and your brother have sparked my interest in aviation as you have done with many of us old farts just keep up the good work and inspire the youth. I don't have the budget on a pension to fly much again but I love you videos keep up the inspirational work and I hope you get your work of love flying soon ...PS Pray it will be VIRUS FREE
This makes my Peitenpol build look like craft time with white glue and popsickle sticks.
Brianne C I think we all feel that way.
Your comment is funny. Thanks for the chuckle.
Love Peitenpol's!
@@gregmiller1951 Im building a sky Scout, just thought it was cool because there are so few out there. Take it easy.
@@spurgear4 If you lived close I would love to check out your project!
I came here after Draco's crash. I subscribed to hear more on that, and I'm glad I stayed. I'm not going anywhere, I need to see Scrappy fly.
So Scrappy is bullet proof!!!! Got it.
It’s 4:30 in the morning and I’m watching these build videos and feel so inspired by Mike . This is what so many kids need to see is his pride and dedication to his work followed up by his “BACK TO WORK”. I will have a back to work tshirt next week.
" Professor Patey " - Mike your videos are amazing, you not only talk the talk but walk the walk ! You are amazing with the way you not only explain but show how your plans will be put into action. Your enthusiasm for all things aviation must keep you awake late at night as it seems like your mind is always creating new things and you can't wait to get to the shop to start working. THANK YOU for all you do for the you tube community as you have fans all over the world. Be safe during these tough times and keep those wonderful videos coming.
Absolutely awesome! This was my break for the day. Back to our Wilga, Quail, Kitfox and Decathlon restoration now.....😂
I read an article on having a strong work ethic. It said, "see Mike and Mark Patey", nothing else. It's an epic novel.
Your creative mind brings another innovation to the flying world. Very enjoyable to watch you at work.
You sir, are brilliant and an inspiration. The amount of hard work you put in is incredible. Thank you for explaining the process so well.
I like this plan. Take 15 other cubs and make the best one ever built. Great job at life. Well done.
"Kevlar Cub" has a nice ring to it.
Thanks so much for this update!! It is a joy to be given the feeling that we are part of your journey through the build process of Scrappy, especially given many of us this side of the pond (UK) are in this dreaded virus lockdown.
Whoop Whoop!!! Covid19 Lockdown time watching Scrappy Build, the BEST ever!!
And he can build all he wants too! Its a win-win!
One of my favorite things about Kevlar is its abrasion resistance. I've used it for years on the wheel well's of dragsters and race cars. So when you blow a tire its less likely to go through the fiberglass.
Thanks for the Video Mike. Be safe and don't forget to relax some so the mind and body can recuperate. Lots of love to you and family.
Mike I don't think you need any more encouragement to carry on with your life drive and outlook but I would just like to compliment you for the way you come across to us or at least me.The feeling I get when viewing your clips is more buoyant, invigorated or just happier.
The pills I take don't seem to do that!
Well, thank you! My best wishes to you.
I’m loving these frequent short videos. Good idea.
Getting excited to see scrappy fly!
**I LOVE & RESPECT YOUR FOCUS SO MUCH!**
Can't wait to see SCRAPPY finished!
Mike Patey, the king of overkill! 👍👍
Mike did the masking tape form trick on wings to body fairings on W-10, worked great thank you
I don't care if you call it a cub or not. I think it is cool and can't wait to see it perform.
Thanks so much for using your valuable time to teach us, I know it takes time to film, and really appreciate your effort.
As usual Mike, another impressive page to the book of CKCC building.
During these hard times, your videos make it all better. 🤠
This is why kayaks are made of a combination of kevlar and carbon fibre, which is interwoven into the sheet, as opposed to separate layers, like Mike is using. And it's for the impact resistance, a sharp rock etc won't crack the boat.
Great quarantine time spending Mike! I'm from the Netherlands and you make me want to move to the US and get my pilot license
I've never had a plane, watching your videos i sometimes have to rewind to play back to understand exactly what your trying to build. Your a genius at what you do. Thanks to you and the flying cowboys for sharing hours and hours of great amazing videos!
Absolutely Enjoyed This Video Mike, Getting Behind the scene instructions on the engineering as well as watching the actual build = Priceless!
I remember watching and being captivated at how incredible your Draco build was. But I gotta say, the level of custom work and innovation that you are putting into Scrappy is even surpassing that. I love all of these videos, keep it up!
G’day Mike team & Co, there are lots of comments re heat effects on your chocolate bear cub.
There is a product made of super fine powdered ceramic that reflects heat. It can be added to all sorts of paint.
Mostly used for painting/ insulating roofs and works a treat, for hot and cold.
Love the Kevlar bulletproof strength, and keeping us all up to date with the informative vlogs.
Much love light and laughter to all, xox Victoria Australia
Great work Mike! Can't wait to see scrappy battling it out with trent!
These Videos are Inspiring!!! You're living the Dream Mike!
Way over my head, way beyond my ability, but really enjoy watching and listening to you explain and do!!!! Please keep them coming TH
It’s getting more exciting! Who knew it was possible lol
There is so much carbon on this plane you should paint only some stripes or accents and then just clear the whole thing so show off the beautiful fiber
Keith Carlton and in the heat of Utah it melts like chocolate? If he would build everything in prepreg and postcure it then maybe but still.. a black plane will heat up like hell!
RV-8tor your correct 👍🤠 maybe not like chocolate 😂 but true. so in the areas like horizontal and others I need to keep the strength I will paint those areas with a light color. Yet, some portions of the tail section that holds its structure from the frame below, I will go ahead and show off some clear UV blocked carbon fiber and even as we know it does soften it’s still magnitude stronger than fabric. So In some areas that fabric is enough I’ll show off some clear carbon fiber just because 🤷♂️👍 🤠
@@Spinner1987CH I haven't seen that he's laying up CF over foam cores. I'm no expert in this kind of thing, but I believe the insulation value causes havoc as heat builds. He doesn't have that factor to contend with.
As an experiment try touching the black paint of a vehicle when its sitting in the scorching sun...then try touching the polished chrome trim. The black paint will be hot, but the chrome trim will make our fingers smoke.
Paul Slevinsky i know what you want to say but actually I was a structural test engineer for a aircraft project (Solarimpulse) which was entirely built out of CF and we did a lot of testing. The result was that we still needed to cover the top surfaces to reduce the impact of the heat (the hotter it gets the weaker the structure becomes)..
Mike Patey sorry I am from Switzerland and we love chocolate and airplanes 😂
Thanks for the clarification on whether it was an airfoil. I was confused at first but it make sense now. Plane is looking great!
What amazing idea to add Kevlar for added protection. That’s totally Over the top!!!!!👍😆❤️🤍💙
Yeah... I been suggesting it due to the finger of God wash on top of debris. Long shelf designing along with wedged plywood style skin toughness. To only have keyboard warring about weight and unnecessary. So glad Mike is about monster mechanics and designs. Murica!
I always yell "Damn I love Kevlar" on stump strikes.
Mike I totally love the way you described that about the fiberglass wrapping around to seal it to to lock that into place that makes total sense and I sure appreciate you explaining that
Hello Mike. Glad you thought of Kevlar to this Project. I like to tell you about this material that could save you some time. Carbon Fiber Made with Kevlar Blue Fabric Plain Weave a Company sell it on EBay.Please look at it because you could clear coat it then done.They have Red for you. Don’t yell but we RC Sailplanes people don’t like black Carbon because of the heat on the Epoxy/Carbon. We try to paint them a color. But your a engineer and a awesome pilot and builder. Please keep the plane video coming. My last Comment to you. I hate to piss you off. God Bless. Just trying to help.
You are the Norm Abrams do Carbon.
Thanks for doing what you do.
This plane is going to be awesome!!
It just keep getting better.
I love seeing notifications from you! Can’t wait to see Scrappy catch some wind! Thank you for sharing the build.
I needed a Mike P. Video. Yehaaaaaaa!
I can’t wait to see scrappy fully out together. Let alone what your twin is working on. Oh the videos
Carbon Kevlar CARBON ! QUITE A SANDWICH! Fun for me to watch ( someone who only fly's commercial) I learned stuff, thanks.
Thanks for making the videos and sharing your experiences. I am in the process of two airplane builds and information and learning on composites and carbon fiber is not easily found on the Internet. As I learn and move through my projects I will also be sharing my experiences on UA-cam. I always appreciate any comments or suggestions. Love your content thanks again.
glad to see the air file... real labor saver :)
Such a positive guy. Inspiration 👍🏼
This is an amazing work of art as well as a labor of love like i have never seen before. Truly Amazing!!!!
I see why you don't get much sleep, you have so much going through your mind, there is no way you can sleep, and when you do you must be dreaming about designing. It sure would be a treat to spend some time with you. Awesome job keep the videos coming, at least two a week.
This plane is going to be the new bench mark in Cubs.Unique & unbelievable.
Glad to see another Scrappy moment.
Daaaannggg Son!!! That aero-plane LEAPS off the ground !!!! (runway optional !!!!) Great Job !!!
I just want to fast forward to see this beast fly!
The world needs more of this energy. How can you not smile while watching these vids?!
Bc I don’t have any money
Every time I watch your Chanel, I learn something cool. Thanks!
Lovely fabrication with lots of information, thank you for your wonderful videos. Best wishes from the UK
That light kevlar laminated on a flat caul plate and wrapped over an EPP foam wing and bonded with 3M77 will make an indestructible foam wing. Tough kevlar sheet over a flexible foam with a contact adhesive made wings on some research drones survive 90 mph crashes. Based on actual experience!
symetrical airfoil on the tail is used in the RC world for years (probably in general aviation too) looking great cant wait on the end result of the whole plane!!! Greatings from the Netherlands!
love these vids... appreciate the distraction from pandemic news... if you need any help I'd love to fly over (when travel resumes) and help make Scrappy come to life
WOO HOO another Mike Patey episode!
It's a little late now but you could have gone with one of the NACA 4 digit symmetric airfoils and gotten some cleaner (less drag) airflow over the horizontal and would still not have to worry about it being biased up or down. It's great to see all the progress you've been making on scrappy lately, keep up the good work!
That's insane Mike, love it! 🤙🏻
This is so exhilarating and inspiring.
I fully understand the Kevlar idea. The leading edges of horizontal stabilizers get banged up something fierce when doing a lot of off airport work.
Thank you for your wisdom I think you just help me change the automotive carbon fiber scene.
Mike, you have really “golden hands”!! Wish you good luck, man!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 From Russia with love!!!😉👍🏻 🤠
This should be a TV show! It is so inspiring and educational!!!
I'm with you buddy. Beats ANY TV show currently wasting our time.
made me smile when i got the notification🥰
