Nobody released footage of Scrappy flying out of respect for Mike’s reveal, and I looked hard. You’ve got to love the aviation community, and I hope to be part of it soon. I’ve been flying a paraplane for over 20 years, but I’m far overdue for a bush plane!
I didn’t search for that but but I was thinking about that. It could be hard to keep that a secret without having your own airport.
@@Rickmakes - Not happy about it really. Should have released a flight vid as soon as he landed at Oshkosh. I mean I have only watched 30 episodes but those at Oshkosh saw it fly first. Subscribers should be first. Gonna write a letter to my MP and my Parrish vicar and complain ☹️ 🤪
This video is late. Plane flew few weeks back and video was already out by someone else. Look again
@@Rickmakes I got excited knowing that Scrappy was flying, and couldn’t help myself from searching! Others, and I were monitoring ATC, tail number tracking, etc. I’ve always loved bush planes, but I never thought I could get so immersed in the build of one.
@@Superrandomz768 I knew it was flying weeks ago, but I couldn’t find any videos.
Mike I'm having video withdrawal, when can we see more of Scrappy?
What Mike Patey does in weeks, would take corporate America, years. A true engineer's, engineer! And, a hell of a nice guy to boot! Mike, Thank You! I don't have the words to describe how I feel about you, your work and your contributions! Back to Work!! :)
This project has built up a lot of experience and I definitely see that now there's a reference construction that can be used by others.
Since this is a search and rescue plane I would have expected it to have some reflective surfaces in bright colors, mostly to improve it being spotted in coordinated efforts or when on the ground so that others can follow up a first response easier.
@@ehsnils I get what you’re saying about visibility, point well made. I do think, though, that the fact that significant areas of the aircraft are bright orange and that the lighting systems are far from lacking might go some way towards indicating that it’s already been considered.
If we boot the Fed out of our lives, things will turn around in this Nation.
@@robm.4512 Bright orange is actually only working well in daylight, in the dark it won't help. Reflective surfaces means that they stand out when a search light is used. Or when you use a torch. Could be that you need to find your way back to the plane when it's dark - you might not be able to land on the spot where the rescued is but a bit away.
Just my perspective though.

Hey Mike, You are not alone in the work at night department. I go to bed at 3:00 AM and get up at 8:00 AM...been doing it for years, I'm now 73. Thanks for this one, I've been following right along for several years now and I have to say that there is a feeling that I cannot shake. It is overwhelmingly clear to me that watching this Scrappy build has been a once in a lifetime experience. I've pulled of some stunts in my time, but that was just enough to make it clear what a monumental feat that you have accomplished with this build! FYI...My boss had a Beech Bonanza and I found a way to replace the 25 watt generator with a 45 watt alternator back around 1970. That lead to Omni, DME, solid state radios and strobe lights. I though that was a big deal until I watched you at work! Now go take care of the chick, she is a real gem!
Watched every build video. Damn near shed a tear when he took off😭
Okay Mike, its time to get back to work. There is much video footage that needs to be put out there. Then there is the prop redesign. Then there will be Draco-II. Uh but, no pressure its just the Scrappy Build fix we all need. I'm pumped after Oshkosh and need more so, BTW!
it's been a wonderful and inspiring journey .
What an amazing Airplane
Thanks for letting us be a part of a fantastic build .
being disabled your energy and positive personality is a Boost to my Life.
Be safe n bless you .
Mr.Mike Patey.
I venture to say it's not often a 78 year old follower gets choked up watching an airplane build video, but this one got me. Congratulations Mike, aviation has grown a lot from your innovations and ambition. Looking for more videos.
Like everyone who has watched scrappy since you showed us a bent frame! I simply just smiled when I saw her take off.Well done Mike!
BACK TO WORK!!!!
I’m so glad mike took the time to give us this many videos on his journey of building this beauty. I’ve watched all of it and I loved every single second of it.
Its as if the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works was asked to do a Fieseler Storch with Kelly Johnson dropping guidance notes from heaven tied to a brick.
But the truth is even more amazing.
If Kelly Johnson dropped a brick from heaven, it wouldn't fall. It would glide.
I am listening to a book about skunk works that is so cool to see a comment about it
Glide @ 3000 mph
@@bubbadudegaming Is it the one by Ben Rich? I read it a couple times. Very entertaining.
@@Cowracer67 yes it is
To anyone complaining about people at Oshkosh seeing it first, that’s just it, we saw it first. No one saw it fly except the lucky few when he arrived. I saw it in person every day for a week and this is the first I’ve seen it fly. He owes you nothing but gives you everything and your going to complain? If you saw mike in person you would be amazed how awesome of a human being he is. For him to say he’s tired should let you know how busy he has been. Thanks for everything you do for the aviation community Mr. patey!
I took my wife to Air Venture and let her guide me to what she wanted to do. Imagine the discussion when I saw Scrappy parked in front if the Garmin tent. Great meeting you Mike. Gonna miss the build process but excited to see what's next. Thank you for your energy, precision and being you. You motivate me to be perfect on my path to my PPL.
Mike,
You’re killing me out here Brother!
Hoping you are still alive and well?
Need more wing reports!
Your projects are amazing and I’m living vicariously.
Thanks for all you do.
You keep being you Mike, I'm proud to share this time in space with a person like you. Godspeed..........
Mike - Very impressive what you've built - Not the plane, your approach to creating the plane - Scrappy is awesome. Your method and safety protocols are world class.
How awesome is this guy. Just look at the people's faces as he talks to them, that says it all.
Scrappy is engineering Art .Thank God you had the opportunity and knowledge to build it.
This is an amazing sight to see. Well done Mike!!
It seems everyone at Oshkosh posted a video on You Tube about Scrappy. Loved all of them. Mike you should really be proud about you have done with scrappy. Can't wait to see your videos about the test you had to run for Scrappy to pass inspection.
remember when we all saw that prop and thought how giant it was, yet looking at it on scrappy it looks on proportion, which really says alot about the size of scrappy that I don't think I've fully appreciated.
I'm so happy you achieved finishing Srappy to present her at Oskosh. Scrappy is a beast, powerful, plenty of inovative features, no one has ever seen before, this is the most sophisticated STOL ever built.
What a cool guy! I am a mechanical engineer, with almost 20 years of R&D experience, some in Aviation, and I find Mike just inspiring. The suspension in my humble opinion is the most amazing part of this build as it makes so much sense for taildraggers. The fact Mike is able to do everything by himself is just mind-blowing. Thanks again and fly safe!
BR from Israel.
If I was making a 3d printed gallery of the busts of my heroes, you, Mike, would be on it. I have waited for a Scrappy STOL performance in a way I have not waited for anything so bad ever before.
It is so incredible to watch aviation history happening real time. Test platforms like this do so much to push the limits of what is possible.
Hello Sr. I have around 15 years painting cars and making parts for automotive body. But your job its another thing💪💪. You Sr. Got my full respect. I love aviation, and every time i see your videos i just want to be there working with you guys. You guys do awesome job👍 Keep going and God Bless you and all your workers.🙏 Scrappy process make me look for another future in my own job...
While not necessary...some one needs to give Mike a PHD in aeronautical engineering ...he's a legend
Little late, but… he should teach courses. Always thinking outside the box!
Thanks for spending some of your time talking with us at Oshkosh. While I know you will be taking a break for a bit, my daughter and I will be looking forward to your next project while the two of us start tooling up for our first project. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you. PS, my daughter has been showing off the EAA rib with your signature to everyone. It's her prized possession and her favorite moment from the entire week at Oshkosh; even beating out the night airshow and fireworks.
Monday morning coffee + donut + Scrappy. 🤠
This has been the best series that I have watched on UA-cam.
Well done Mike, what a mission, your engineering on your aircraft is incredible.
Mike I'm so glad to have had the chance to see Scrappy and say hello at Oshkosh. The level of precision and engineering is just mind blowing. It's also pretty inspirational to this engineer - I'm waiting for my Kitfox and can't wait to get in the workshop and build it.
The satisfaction I get seeing one of my dinky little RC planes fly after building it is always nice...I literally cannot imagine how good that first flight mustve felt in Scrappy. What an amazing project!
Mike, as a retired NM State Trooper; and as such a trained SAR initiator I identify with your contribution to the search and rescue community and humanity! You just earned my greater respect for you, your work ethic and community involvement!
I always wanted to see this build finished, but I never wanted it to end
Agreed. Scrappy is amazing. I doubt this will be the last insane project Mike takes on.
BTW. That’s the best profile picture and name I’ve seen in a while. 🤣👍
@@lamontcranston8181 thx man 👍
Thanks for the videos mike ! My wife just got a kidney transplant here in salt lake and we have 4 weeks of recovery and your build videos are keeping me from going stir crazy !!!!! Keep it up can’t wait to see some more in-depth videos
I can’t wait to see this engineering marvel in person. Amazing work Mike
I simply do not have words for this guy. You are for sure, one of a kind and I thank you, Mr. Patey.
I have to say, I watched the "We're putting the wings on!" episode, then saw some other videos stating "Scrappy flew to OshKosh!" and I was like "Wait, what? Whey not video of it flying!"
Thank you for plugging this hole in my life.
Thanks for hustling and bringing it to Oshkosh. My son and I have watched most of the build videos and one of the first things he said when we got in the gate is "let's find scrappy". Wish we could have hung around til Saturday to meet ya.
Incredible. I can’t wipe the smile off my face!!! Such an amazing work of art and engineering. Mike you are truly a master of your craft!
Judging by the crowd around Scrappy, I would think this build was a huge success for both Mike and his friends and aviation fans all over. I know nothing about aeronautics but I really enjoy watching Mike’s videos. I lied a bit, I worked 4 1/2 years at Douglas Aircraft outside Toronto building DC 9 wings in the 60’s.😬👍👍
Everybody loves it, but it ain't a success till we see that sucker flopping down on the side of a mountain, workin that suspension, and taking off again ;)
1:28 when you have to keep all your cars in your hangar because you didn't tell your wife about them
whoever that is (the guy letting mike use his hangar) has a sports car for every day of the week.
This world needs more Mike Pateys. It's an absolute pleasure to witness your visions become reality. I'm a big fan!
Hope to see this plane in Microsoft flight simulator 2020
We all love that plane. It was awesome following the build process. Mike is a genius.... nothing else can be said. Truly one of the great minds of all time in aviation, and engineering in general. What an awesome aircraft! Back to work!
I’m so happy Scrappy’s flying, and still amazed at how much plane was engineered, and built in such a short amount of time! It still would be extremely impressive if it was done with a large crew. 👍
The aviation industry could not have a better person to promote the Business!!! You are the man, Mike👍🇺🇸
What an achievement! Well done Mike and Ron!!!
Love how Mike took Scrappy for a walk at the end there.
It would be great to see you work with Horizon again to build a scaled version of Scrappy as you did with Draco?
Imagine an RC version of Scrappy with all the functionality of the wing. So cool.
I was thinking the same thing! Most of my R/C toys roll or float. Haven't learned to fly yet. I can build them. I can crash them. I can fix them. Still working on the staying in the air part... ;)
@@PhilG999 Same here. One of these days I'll get around to it. lol
@@PhilG999 lol. Once I'm in the air I'm fine, it's mostly on the landing, and the problem is that I'm trying to hit the ground, but it usually doesn't hit like I want
@@GreatLakesLogger Set power to just above idle, pull back to keep level and use the throttle to control the rate of descent. You don't have to worry about "hitting" the ground that happens 100% of the time. Focus on controlled decent and flying through contact. Wheels down, chop power, and use elevator to keep the nose off the deck. Trying to fly into the ground is a crash, you want controlled and expected level contact. Practice 1 mistake high in the pattern and you'll find the sweetspot in throttle and elevator. Then, come around again and take it all the way down.
@@mab0852 ya, im learning to harrier which helps a lot. The reason I had so much trouble when learning to fly was that we have a nice long lane, but there are power lines on one side. We have a big parking lot too, but there is a barn, shop, and house on three sides of it. I started with a gutless cub, so when I came in I had to commit to it. Now I have a Timber X with a bigger bl-15 motor, that thing will rocket straight up at 3/4 throttle. Really is nice when you get in a pinch
Got to see it in person! Now just waiting for the spars for a little piece of history!
Update: Received them and they look great. Thank you Mike Patey
What an absolute legend.
I thought seeing Scrappy fly would be the greatest but I realize it’s not Scrappy but Mike that I enjoy so much. WWMD is my first thought every time I tackle a new project. Thanks for sharing your progress with the world. Sure missed you Saturday. Hope to see you back on the 14th.
Would be great to see a video in-flight. Maybe even a vlog when flying Scrappy!
I don't own a plane but i have watched every video of Draco and the same for Scrappy.
I have checked few times a day about Scrappy flying since the start of EAA Airventure, and i even stood one night awake until the morning (i'm French) because of the storm and tornado alert few days ago by following the live of your friend Cory Robin. I felt very very concerned by what you accomplished Mike.
This video just brought me some tears of joy, because it is the reward of your hard work, and you are very successful in your project which went further than I could have imagined.
What an accomplishement you did there with your team, this is amazing, and how proud should be your family.
Enjoy the ride and stay safe !
Much love, you are an inspiring guy !
I love this. Mike you have built/written the most beautiful love letter to aviation and flying. Scrappy is gorgeous, all those long days and nights seem to have finally paid off. Can't wait to see where you two go and the things you do!
Hey Mike, I believe I am more and much happier to see your SCRAPPY project literally flying. Work done in detail with a lot of struggle and love for aviation. My smiling man congratulations. May God always enlighten You and your family. A big hug from your subscriber to the channel who has followed his big dream since the beginning.
Gonna need some Scrappy footage in the intro now..
I was there I asked the question about the wing reflex delta. It was really nice to chat with you
For something I had nothing to do with, this week and these people , I feel like I've accomplished something wonderful just seeing all your teams work.
Thank you.
Amazing Oshkosh celebration of flight.
I have so much respect for you Mike, I wish I get to meet you one day. You are a living legend in the aviation industry. Everything you do in inspirational, from building aircraft to being a family man.
I hope one day these advancements will come to production airplanes
Patey World, a rare place in the human condition! Did I forget it's a thing of beauty? Be safe and have fun!
Mike Patey makes the ultimate "always leave them wanting more" videos! There simply aren't enough superlatives to describe the project, Mike Patey, and his team of family and friends involved in his projects and the making of these videos. His example makes you want to be a better worker, manager, family member, and lifelong learner!
Very happy for you Mike.! She’s a beauty …and Scrappy is too ❤️
The perfect example of "Build it and they will come" Congrats Mr. Patey, you build a superb leading edge plane, saw the project thru, and i am super happy for you. Seeing it fly is amazing. I remember at the very beginning, your idea of the wheel struts with a lifting effect. They seem to be massively overshadowed by your wing design.
Mike you are the best! Almost made it to Oshkosh this year but I am so glad you made it with Scrappy. What a journey!
Thank you for thanking your spouse. That's the one person so many people forget to thank.
I'm an engineer and thoroughly enjoy the design
Scrappy looks amazingly awesome!
His name will be still spoken by our grandchildren. I love the expression "Own the dash" and Mike Patey definitely does that. Inspirational in every way! No days off, back to work!
Mike, we are dying out here in UA-cam land. We need a new installment of your project!
It was so awesome to see it, and you, at the show. Can’t wait to see more.
It's been a month since this video. Anyone else going through withdrawals?? I'm getting by ok by working on my own projects, but damn.. Mrs. Patey, enough is enough. Give us our Mike back LOL
You need to get a FLIR Sensor ball (EO/IR) belly pod hooked up to that rear seat Garmin display for a “Rear Seat Sensor Operator” for search and rescue. Would make that a beast for an ISR Platform.
Finally Scrappy has wings. So awesome. I did cheat and watched a live Oshkosh video that showed Scrappy on display. I watched all the Live video's from Oshkosh. So happy to see you and the plane complete and flying. Don't stop with the videos please. I've become addicted to your videos. So happy for you and looking forward to seeing you off airport with Scrappy. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Flew up to Oshkosh Saturday mostly to see scrappy. It was worth it. Well done!
Mike congrats on getting scrappy flying for Oshkosh what an achievement! It was truly an honor to see it in person but even more so to meet you and Chandra. Keep up the great work and inspiring us all to get in to aviation. My 5 year old daughter came home from airventure and built her first plane out of cardboard. I asked her what she was going to do next and she said “Paint it like SCRAPPY!” Thank you again for taking the time to meet all of us fans at Oshkosh and keep up the great work!
That’s the best!! 🤠
Got to meet you at Airventure and it was legit the only time I’ve ever been starstruck! You’re the man mike! Most inspirational and humble guy in avaiation without a doubt!
Mike… you are a special man who has been blessed with many gifts. God gives each of us our own gifts. One of your gifts is to achieve with your unique insight, craftsmanship and passion. You focus to make the world a better place. I believe that is our mission- to use our gifts to make the world a better place. Ty so much and congratulations.
its amazing to see this plane flying after just being scraps and metal a few years ago. I loved seeing scrappy at Oshkosh, and it looks even cooler in person
@@willstevens4981 same here
WE LOVE YOU MIKE!!! You are a true HERO and inspiration to all who love aviation! Congrats on another AMAZING build! I can't wait to see it in person!!
It looks so good in flight - better than I ever imagined.
been here since draco was a thing untill dracos untimely accident sat and mourned with you mike and settled in for the long run when scrappy was just a thought watched a basic airframe become what scrappy is today thats impressive mr patey the amount of dedication to the cause is also very impressive well done sir
massive fan from scotland
fly safe
Thanks for bringing it! Scrappy is awesome!
Hey Mike,
Congrats again
Guess you are giving that machine some good airtime attention. Can't wait to hear about the adventures. Now, "Back to Work".
It is soooooo satisfying to see all this hard work come to an end and Scrappy up in the air. What an awesome journey! 😎👍
Congratulations Mike On such a beautiful build. My heart goes out to you and the family.
Been watching and waiting since the beginning for this and I couldn't be more excited about how far scrappy has come. Amazing work Mike.
I'm so stoked to see this baby in the air... CANNOT wait to see the propeller design and watch the thing rip at full potential!!
😍 I want to see this beautymonster fly! And a pilot point of view would be awesome 👍🏼
I wish you and Scrappy one hundred more happy years together. My only thought on the 780 Lycoming was would the prop turn turn around the airplane, or would the airplane turn around the prop. Wonderful accomplishment. All the best.
Mike, Thank you for the opportunity to shake your hand and have my picture taken with you under the wing of Scrappy last Friday at Oshkosh. I'm a huge fan & it meant a lot to me. Your plane is an absolute jewel of engineering and craftsmanship! Are you going to get your wife's project flying next?
Mike, I was really happy to hear you give credit at the end to THE MOST important person in the scrappy build: your beautiful (and extremely patient) wife. You are a blessed man to have such a wonderful woman supporting you as she does. She’s the greatest resource you have. Just remember: “if momma ain’t happy, ain’t NOBODY happy!” And one last thing: for the love of all things holy, HIRE ME!!!!! I don’t care if I gotta sweep floors!
Congratulations, great to see the build "finished" ..... for the moment.
I'd love to see how fast you could push the wing with a race prop and small wheels.
But most of all, yes go and enjoy flying this outstanding aircraft.
Amazing work Mike and Family! Congratulations. Thank you for sharing this experience with the world. You're an inspiration to all of us who love aviation!
I agree, but wondering if Mike has found a prop that is the right balance for Scrappy's unique characteristics?
watch mike make a prop like the wing next, just to flex on us.
This is me patently waiting for the next video..... even though it's almost been a month.... even though you had me used to weekly drops...... AHHHHH!!!!!
I feel like I missed out on a half a dozen videos if we are at this point now. I don't blame him for flying it rather than filming it though.
He said he was about a month behind from the time he films til it gets edited and posted
@@teametniesbmx Oh I get that. It just seems like we were brought along on the whole journey of building it and missed out on the end where it all comes together.
@@UnKnown-dy5bbhe does not owe you anything. If you have not noticed he is already a very accomplished and successful businessman. He is not trolling for subscribers, he is trying to impart his love for aviation onto a larger portion of society. If you can not comprehend that , get someone to explain it to you
@@jcar1417 Some people become far too emotionally involved with their entertainment.
Scrappy was the first thing I looked for when I arrived. I miss Draco but seeing Scrappy, it's a work of art. Stopped in Best Tugs and everybody is so friendly. I don't fly but I do have a Best Tugs cap now.
