- I’m finally back with regular video updates! Since finishing DRACO, I’ve been busy working on my hangar. I get asked a lot about where I build my planes so today I’m giving you a tour! ALSO, I’m announcing my next build at the end of this video. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Remember to SUBSCRIBE! Or send to a friend that might want to follow along. I’ll keep adding videos of my new project plus more Draco content because it’s so fun to fly!
I liked. I subbed. I hit the bell. Cheers man!! Exited to see your new content!
Mike Patey just gave me a personal tour of heaven...😀
A tour of heaven and really hard work to get it.. Good stuff Mike!
@@njkuijper Most people work hard, you have to be lucky enough to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right product, and to have the ability to produce that product, to get to where this guy is, if he wasn't just born wealthy.
@@PistonAvatarGuy the risk and reward of being an entrepreneur.
@@njkuijper Few are lucky enough to have anything to risk.
Beautiful sir. Thanks.
Absolutely incredible----You perfected the phrase , " Work Hard ,Play Harder."
I don’t think you or your brother have any idea how inspiring you both are to to a lot of your viewers. Your work ethic, your work rate, your drive, your motivation, your enthusiasm are just off the scale and wonderful to see. I am really looking forward to seeing more of your videos, can’t wait to watch Scrappy’s build series, and it sounds like the next racer build will be awesome to watch too. All the best from one of your UK fans!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I made the trip to Oshkosh'18 from Hawaii just to meet Mike & Mark and get a Photo with Mike... It hangs on my office wall and was well worth it, he is that Inspiration for taking bigger steps in life for many folks ............... Oshkosh is easy to get to from the U.K.,... see ya this summer ?
True story!!!!!
100% Truthful...Inspirational isn't Descriptive enough.
Come on man, thus dude has big money so keep on being inspired.
Tom Risar He wasn’t born into money, he came from a large family with no money, and worked his butt off for everything he has now. By age 18 he already employed 200 people in his own decking company... so yeah, he’s inspirational
Mike, I'm not at all jealous but anybody in their right mind would see that you have obviously done things right, worked really smart and hard and your living the dream.
My passion in life was fine woodworking and I was fortunate enough to have worked in 17 countries for the world's financial elite and had a crew of 68 of the best finish carpenters I could ever ask for, there was nothing we couldn't do as a team !!
We did the finish carpentry on a 136 acre Georgian Colonial estate 1986-1989 in So. Calif. for a retired 3 star general that has the #4 Car collection in the world. We built a 22,000 sq ft museum then our client (I don't name drop) immediately had us add another 22,000 sq ft because he had more cars than space !
Keep up the great work, your amazing !!
Mike, when you launch your line of merchandise, the first t shirt will have to say “Back to Work” with a ”fist” next to the words. You’d sell a million of them. Heck, I’d buy one.
mouser485 Ditto!
I’ve just about got the Mike Patey emoji figured out!
Dude great idea!
I'll buy it from the end of the world (Argentina)
I would buy one of those too, that fist pump is inspiring!
Working on my PPL.
I have 22 hours of dual instruction, my 3rd class medical and passed my knowledge test.
These type of videos seriously motivate me and keep reminding me what is at the end of the journey.
Thanks !!!
No lie Don, makes me want to go back and finish my A&P and build some planes!
I have to thank you for the inspiration to get out of my wheeled chair and try to walk again. I will never be the person I was, but, I am out in my shop every day and building something. I am 73 .My Dad bought a CUB in the 1940s.
Wow. I'm hoping with everything in me you walk again. Jesus!!!!
God bless you brother, I wish you all the best. I will be praying that you achieve all you set out to do...... peace
Bob, you can Easily fly that cub without dependable legs. We used to work with a company that installed paraplegic controls on helicopters and fixed wing. Simple Stuff! The kits are available. Life's WAY Too Short to be held back by legs that went on vacation. Time to fire up that Dream and Spread Your Wings!!!
👍👍👍
YOU are an inspiration!
Who ever said money doesn't buy happiness hasn't met this guy, what a cool place to work and play.
Money doesnt buy happiness
A healthy and stable headspace and brain does. It all has to do with how you feel within and how you can express that outwards.
Plus he works superhard to bring in money.
Not everyone is blessed with a good brain. I have a decent one but nowhere near as good as mike's.
Mike , your energy and enthusiasm is intoxicating. The happiness you convey is truly expressed when you say “life is to short , enjoy it” .. The only thing I know about planes , is what you have built . Well done Sir
It's so rare that someone with that kind of passion, drive, work ethic, intelligence and talent is also so down to earth, approachable and eager to share with others. I'm literally in awe.
I’m making a huge bowl of popcorn cuz I’m not missing any of this build!
You make popcorn, I'm getting my tools.
What an amazing MAN among men !!! What a BRAIN you have, I'm so very impressed with your shear TALENT! I'm hooked.
I am in awe.
Coming from a forty year career of nursing BMWs for the street and track, and then finishing my time in the BMW restoration arena, I can wholly appreciate your lust and skill set. You are a god.
In my retirement, I’ve taken up r/c airplanes and would LOVE to build a scale Draco. Any chance I could stop buy for a day or two with my Mac, Meterstick, and Canon in hand?
Three years on looking back on the start of "scrappy", I think somewhere along the way Mike forgot about the "cheap as possible" idea. However I dont think even he realised at the time what a superb aircraft scrappy was going to be.
Love watching video's from Mike, he's so passionate about building and getting things right.
Back to work!!! Awesome Mike, glad you are going to be sharing the new build process with us.
Somehow I just found this video after following along the whole build of Scrappy. Amazing to see where it all started for this amazing plane that put a smile on my face after Draco was gone.
Welcome back, love your awsome fun inspiring build videos.
If that's heaven you just showed us I suddenly really want to wind up there! Was never sure I wanted to go to heaven because of some people that seem sure they'll be there! Can't wait to see your ideas and build of Scrappy 😊 🇨🇦 👍 👏🏽
Mike is an amazing guy... he is so productive.
Mike has the brains and the work ethic of a 100 of us mortals. I hope I can build a bush plane and fly with you someday.
This man is living the life. I cannot believe how humble he is!!
You're an inspiration, Mike. Thanks for sharing your journey.
That is without question the greatest man cave on earth!
No doubt it's absolutely incredible
Mike, have followed you for years. Got to see Draco fly several times, amazing. If you opened your hanger for a BBQ it would be another OSHKOSH. You would have to have a NOTAM to get into your airport so many of us would be on your door step and never want to leave. Go for it, I would fly from anywhere and sleep under my plane if I simply got to hang our at your place for a day. It would be killer.
Money and brains and the love of airplanes. The perfect combination. Can't wait to see what you come up with,
Twin brothers -twin race plane builders! Who built twin race planes, to twin race across the country. Mind blown! You guys are the best. Keep the videos coming!
Does it Hurt????
Having all that incredible Brainpower combined with your un-tiring Energy is Explosive!!! You make the Energizer Bunny jealous!!! I'm excited to follow your next build, I found all your episodes of the Draco series and had a Binge-Watch weekend, impressive for sure!
I've got a plane that I'm about to restore, a one-off, the only one in the world of this manufacturer. I'll share progress if you're interested.
Keep up the Great Work and the Inspiration for the upcoming young pilots. 👍👍🙂
Tim Morris the thing about the Energizer Bunny is that one day they put the battery on backwards and instead of “going and going and going”’, he kept coming and coming and coming! Haha
Start a channel and show us the build, man! I'm always wanting to see people get creative with aircraft.
I pass in from this hangar every day and I had no idea how amazing this place is. I have to confess that the view you have from your office is simply amazing. Utah is definitely a great place to fly and I can't wait for the next video Mike.
The builds, the planes, and the enthusiasm for aviation is why I love watching your channel. Thanks for the great videos. I keep waiting for the day I can fly.
Mike, I really enjoy your videos. Inespecially like the one where your wife imitates you and the were your son made the battery power packs so you could test your components. Please include them in this build. You and all the flying Cowboys have been such an inspiration for me. It's been 23 years since I last flew. Last Saturday I stop by the local airport and picked up a package of information to get current. Yesterday I got my medical. Spent the last two nights watching RUclips videos on airspace. I'll be back in air soon. This has been a long time dream of mine and I'm sure I would have done it even if I hadn't found your channel but you, Trent and all the flying Cowboys have inspired me to pick up the pace.
Awesome setup! Look forward to following along on your future videos. 👍🏼
I used to live in Spanish fork. My health is bad and I'm medically retired. Some of my fondest memories are going out to the Spanish fork airport and watch planes all day. I once had an old guy pick me up in his car and give me a tour of the airport and introduced me to some of the pilots. I particularly remember getting to hang out with some gyroplane guys there. I saw your hangar but you guys weren't around that day. So sorry for the loss of Draco. Glad you're all ok. Would love to meet you someday. You're an inspiration.
Please make a vid of the jeep going sideways at freeway speed.
@Rocky I don't see why he couldn't do that on a taxiway. I don't see any mention in Jon V's comment about doing freeway speed ON THE FREEWAY.
Rocky So many fucking little bitches anymore. I bet you’re the type of person who criticizes everyone on RUclips who runs an angle grinder without the guard too. Luckily we still have guys like Patek out there actually doing cool stuff.
Can't wait!!! Let's get to work indeed. I would scrub toilets, mops floors, eat scraps just to be able to hang out, look, listen and learn.
Man....!!! If you could bottle your energy I'd buy a 50 gallon drum of it. And then come back for more.
Here... Have mine, its already empty tho, not sure when its gonna fill up again 😄
I was thinking the same thing!
I could sell you some coke, that'll get you goin'
@@mikecaudill8861 Tsk..tsk
Call it Patey Power?
Mike I'm so glad you decided to share your adventures with those of us who are followers. Your positive energy is so addictive I can't let it go, like a great book. Looking forward to the new builds. Have fun, fly like a bat out'a hell and be smart and safe. See you around.
Mike Patey has to be hands down the biggest DIY badass going around. Keep up the good work legend!
Wow! You are amazingly brilliant! You dream...You build. All in just 20 years! You're an inspiration for everyone...Thank you for sharing!
Your energy is infectious......Thanks for the inspiration and tour!
The best thing, over your insane projects like Draco, it's you attitude that puts me in a very good mood. Thank you Mike Patey
Wow this is an inspiration. I would love a video where you talk business. Whats the story behind the waste water processor?! You would be a fascinating person to talk to.
Mike, bro, my goodness. I can honestly say the only thing I'm anticipating more than this build is the final season of Game of Thrones. I've watched the entire Draco build twice and have already watched this vid twice. Can you imagine how massive this channel would be if every single project you mentioned above was chronicled in the way you did Draco. How does one even begin to develop the array of skill you and Mark posses? Your work is truly inspirational. Would love to learn more about your entrepreneurial efforts. You back country guys are awesome.
Love it Mike. Your joy is infectious. Can't wait to follow you on these builds.
Thanks Mike...! I thought I achieved a great personal milestone when I built my Vans RV4..., but then I viewed your vid of your achievements , am humbled..! Well done Sir..! Keep on keeping on..!
Mike you are the Dr. Brown of engineer's I'm wondering do you poop cash ? You're one lucky, crazy, fun guy. I like to say " live full - die empty " you are the epitome of that. I grew up at a piper dealership with my dad when I was a kid. Got to fly in a lot of stuff at the time. Flew and built ultralights back in the 70's and early 80's. I love everything you do. It's fun X 1 Million. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Everyone can't be or live like you but everyone can share with you , if they watch your videos. I intend to watch all your videos , the energy comes thru the video and is fun and exciting to watch. God Bless.
Great video! Enjoyed the tour, and really enjoy the workmanship/craftsmanship you put into all of your work. I look forward to following along with the build of "Scrappy"!
Thanks for sharing your passion Mike!
" I used to race.....EVERYTHING!" Ha ha, thanks for the tour of the hangar, the overhead gantry cranes are something more good shops should have.
Crazy, crazy, crazy. I love it. Looking toward to it. Let the show begin.....
Mike, we love your enthusiasm; keep up the good work sir!
I once read an article -I think in Flying- that a taildragger with castering mains can't ground loop. You could land and takeoff in a crab. The wheels shouldn't freely caster, but rather self-center with spring action. B-52s and several heavies actually do this. At taxi, the spring action keeps the wheels at 0° steer angle. At speed, in a heavy crosswind, the side load causes drift, so you naturally point the nose into the wind and track at a crab. Just 10° or 15° of travel is all you'd need.
It's great to see you back and sharing your inspirational and educational builds.
Thanks for all your effort in doing so.
The brain God has given to you is truly amazing. You can learn many new things, but you can't teach inventiveness. What a gift. Your excitement is contagious. Much like John Force. Who BTW in 1998 bought my father in laws home on a small lake in Yorba Linda.
In my living room I installed some beams so that I can lift and rotate my bowl of cereal in the morning. It really helped with my last cereal bowl build. I named it Cocoa Pebbles. I used the name from the actual box of cereal, but it's still an experimental build. As you walk into my living room and look to the left, you can see my unfinished bowl from yesterday. I was late for work and had to abandon that project. I already have plans for a new Lucky Charms build tomorrow morning. Let me know if you're interested in following that build. I expect it to be very interesting and informative, mainly because they are magically delicious.
TubeAngst you made my day.. 😂 thats funny
I am thankful for your inspiring videos and encouragement! Reminds me of a older schoolmates song.. Chris LaDoux “ This Old Cowboy Hat “
Blessed indeed! Wow! And here I am truly a dinosaur from Wyoming! And some Aviation history!
H. C. “ Kit” Carson was a incredible time for me and Kit..how many kids get to meet accidentally one of their childhood heroes!
Lake Chelan... was home for awhile too.. and friends at Lake Aero... but my time at Jackson Hole Aviation was incredible!
CYS Sky Harbors changes when Jay sold out to Air Exchange/Sky Harbor.. I worked there until 1988 when I moved to Jackson Hole Aviation and prior the 88 Yellowstone fires.. oh my! Stories upon stories!
For us kids who came through Colorado Aero Tech CYS extension! From the old Cannon Aeronautical building! Seen 777 tests.. but to meet up with Boeing’s first Test Pilot!
I really enjoy History and People.. But y’all make my day! Yes I like it!! Building Cool Stuff always does not come easy!
Negative Ground Speed?? And gaining altitude?? Yes oftentimes I watched from the from the ground as it was gaining altitude fast!! But flying backwards!! Negative-30 -40groundspeed??
DeHavalland Twin Otter s operated by Rocky Mtn Airways was incredible to see how many flights were recorded safely!
All weather! But CYS is notorious indeed for breeeeeze speeed! Wyoming Windsock! It’s real!
Someone got a idea to..break it that highly accurate Wyoming Windsock a chunk of chain from the UPRR Cheyenne... something from a Big Boy Locomotive...? though.. it’s no longer as accurate as it was as when I grew up in at CYS.. and NOAA.. or a ramp rat kid in the 70’s!.. only welded to the post... Not Each link as some.. individual had done!
Fix it! A&P style or perhaps a Crew Chief oF one of my old Unit..153rd TAG WANG... us assistant Crew Chiefs can Still Get it UP! In The air!
Yes my most favourite aviator is back in business.
Ohh man! My flight instructor and LONG time friend, John Alves, is 93 this year. Still teaching. He dreams of his hangar classroom having a place to eat and watch the runway. After class we just love to look at the lights across the run at KFAT. Keep it up man! Love your videos! Would be awesome to meet you some day! Great energy!
The scrappy build 💪 let’s get to work! 😁
That was quite the tour. Mike. Watching Trent got me into some of your back country adventures. Enjoyed every second of it. Was just a hair's breadth away from buying a bush plane and decided against it. Being a type 1 diabetic and my solo nature probably would have meant my demise. I'm sticking around to enjoy your adventures plus many more of my own.
Thanks for the insight to your next project. I will follow right along with you. Looking forward to another exceptional build and lots of fun in the backcountry.
Jay Leno is quite the guy. I know somewhere in my gut that he had a hand in Christian Von Koenigsegg's record setting run in Nevada. I have made automotive burlwood products which Jay has used in his projects. You both are characters in this funny game of life.
Looking forward to the build.
Draco definately needs a tow hook!! :D
Hi Mike.
Just watched the Draco vid and now came here.
Sorry for the loss of Draco.
At least you all made it out and he kept you safe and alive.
You have some much energy I'm sure there's enough room for Draco 2.
Keep safe
Talk about "living the dream", gorgeous facility!
Mike, I want to be just like you when I grow up. Everyone has their hero, as I have grown up and started to think about what I want to do with my life, I have found my new goal. Find problems and fix them to make a living, and spend that money building cool stuff to live my life to the fullest.
This guy knows how to enjoy life!
Thanks for the Tour
And here we are, scrappy finished! What pleasure to give us the chance to be part of your jurney\project. Mike you are a great man who inspired many into planes, 3d design! Thank you for all the knowledge you shared and keep sharing with us and for inspiring us to pursue our dreams!
The energy of his passion is amazing
Awesome looking forward to coming along.... thanks Mike
What a fantastic video, what a wonderful news, because I will be able to follow this new project, this new project, from end to end!
Well, not so long ago I joined you, it's been since Oshkosh 2018 through the Trent Palmer channel and since then I've been running to watch all your videos and update myself on this incredible plane that is Draco! I loved your presentation of your workshop, as I looked at all the curious about each video that I watched. Well, a big hug from here in Brazil and we are going to work!
Thanks for the shop tour Mike and I am looking forward to the new build.
Man... next level wealth. Awesome dude for sure, down to earth... but next level.
I continue to be amazed by the depth of your knowledge, your initiative, enthusiasm, stamina, I could go on . . . . . . . . but I will spare your blushes! Can't wait for the next video!
Well Mike you got me I'll be watching along your interesting guy, enjoy your build and go for it stay alive
Watching Draco was just amazing. The excitement of another build is palpable. Thanks a ton for everything you share with us!!!
You are the most inspirational person in Aviation today!
yup!!!
Nice... thank you for the update. I've been involved in aviation for a long time as was my father, I think your enthusiasm and dedication to personal aviation is contagious and hope you (and others) can inspire younger people to continue the exploration and building of aircraft.
You absolutely rock, Mike. Looking forward to this build!
That hangar is a pilot's absolute dream. A place where you can sit in the leather lined lap of luxury, with a helluva view, and judge all the other pilots on their bad landings ;)
Seriously though, beautiful set up and kudos to your hard work and brain power. Looking forward to Scrappy, and we need a sideways video of that jeep.
Man, what a fellow! Can't wait to see what comes out of you hangar, Mike!
WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE FREAKING DUDE... Yes, I know that was all caps. This guy puts any 100 people I have ever met to shame. Just straight energy, productivity, and inspiration.
You, Mike, are an Aviation Legend. The entire Patey family for that matter!
Stumbled into the Draco build videos last summer and was blown away. I can't wait for the Scrappy build and beyond. You don't have to be a pilot to enjoy Mike's stuff.
Love your hanger and birds!
Mike, you are a beast when it comes to engineering, A&P knowledge, work ethic and motivation! Not too many folks of your caliber that can do it all. You are truly inspiring.
Your energy is contagious, thanks for making us a part of your adventure, it'll be nice to tag along
I grew up in Liberia West Africa and used to go up in the MAF bush pilots Piper Cub at least twice a week. Watch a lot of bush pilot stuff on here, mainly Trent. But came across Draco.. Wow! Such an amazing aircraft! I’m now in my 50’s and never fulfilled my dream to learn to fly 😔. What I’d give for a 5 min flight in Draco! Oh well, life Is full of dreams...
You drive Jeep sideways 70mph? Men ! You crazy but I like it 👍
You are so genuine and pumped up. I love it! Not manufactured enthusiasm. I look forward to watching the build.
Mike, you have got to be the coolest guy on the planet!!!
a rusty old pilot hasn't been this excited for future vlogs since my first flight. we will bw here for every minute. thanks
Mike, you’re insane. I love your energy! It would be really great to see what you would do with a helicopter or some sort of vertical lift aircraft. Best of luck with your adventures! Hope to see you out there.
You've done well in life Mike, it allows you to provide an experience for your family and friends that most will never have. It is very great of you to share that experience with us, and gotta say, as a jack of many trades and fanatic about anything fast, powerful, radical, would love to meet up and chat one day. Thanks again.
So sad about Draco Mike! Let us know what we can do to help? I would love to come to your facility and "Get to work" ☺
I’m a paperhanger and my dad already did this once for a sailor up in Maine.
Give me every single paper map of your airspace, give me every physical copy of every Notam that you used to get back in the day and we will wallpaper your whole visitor’s apartment and your conference room for your board of directors with real valid aviation maps.
Don't ever go dark again. I waited so long for your videos!!!
I miss Draco already, was very sorry to hear of Draco's demise....I know you well enough through, you're videos, you will build an even better Draco..!!
Was very glad you guys weren't badly injured in the accident..!! What an impressive Hanger..!!
Glad you did another build! 8 months was a lot to wait but it was all worth it.
Never thought I would see another build Garage as clean as John Forces was. But here it is. Good job. Proud of you.
You’re the man Mike! I’m excited about the new builds, can’t wait to follow along.
