- Опубликовано: 16 ноя 2023
- This is the last video in the Turbulence build series. Finally able to get it out! For those wondering, Turbulence is still down. I am close to finding an engine for it, and then it will require a long road trip with tools and some long days swapping the engine out. I'm hoping after my house is complete to make it out there to do the engine swap. Don't worry though, we'll make a video of it! If I missed anything about Turbulence please comment below and I'll try to answer questions.
Be sure to grab your Scrappy Ornament/Toy before they are all gone!

Just imagine Mike if the Wright brothers could go for a ride in Turbulence. ✌️🇨🇦
Wouldn't that be wild. Hey Orville and Wilbur...look what you started! 😂
Haha, I’ll say😂❤️. Hey , if you get a chance, my last vid on my channel is fun. Cheers Mike, look forward to what you do next. By the way, you are a pretty big link in the advancement of aviation
@@MikePatey I seem to recall my grandparents talk about seeing the Wright Brothers... then taking my dad and uncle to see Lindbergh and ultimately meeting Amelia Earhart. They both had their entire careers in Aviation, from Vultee to Rockwell, in Downey. My uncle was a design engineer on the Shuttle and a Historian on the P-51 including the race planes (Dustin Carter)
Never mind that. Let Mike add a turbo and nitrous to the Wright Flyer. 😂
@@ehamster Ah, just stick a PT-6 on it... ;-)
Man, how easy could a men of Mike‘s accomplishments put his ego all over the place. What amazes me over and over again is his humbleness. Mankind needs more of it.
Maybe.....yet when I was visiting the US from Australia....I was in a really bad place in my life and thought a visit with Mike might lift me a bit. I offered to drive up from Phoenix....but....he didn't have time. Pity I wasn't cleetus McFarland....he had time to see him
@@malcolmmalcolm7829I bet Mike has a rigorous schedule where his days are fully mapped out months in advance. He pulls off an enormous amount of work because of his discipline. I guarantee that if he had had time, he would have made a minute for you. He’s an awesome guy who genuinely cares for people. I’m sure Cleetus was already mapped in there
@@malcolmmalcolm7829I don't know who you are, or even if I should for some reason, but to throw shade at a guy like Mike just because he couldn't meet with you is beyond my comprehension.
I am sorry but all I can say is Boo Hoo, get over yourself, Mike is one of the busiest people I have ever met, do you have any idea how many directions he is pulled every single day between all his businesses, his aviation endeavors, speaking engagements, building a house, building planes, search and rescue, and a hundred other things.
I would guess Mike gets hundreds if not thousands of requests a year to meet with someone, it would be physically impossible for him to accommodate every one of those requests for his time, and for you to complain because he met with Cleetus and not you screams massive narcissism.
@@HomesickforAlaska Mate, perhaps you could tread a little more sensitively, especially around those among us who are enduring dark times. Old mate Malcolm wasn't roasting MP, just expressing his disappointment, perhaps in a way that has been a little shaped by his difficult mind state. Cheers - Dave
I don't think humble is a word that I'd use to describe his character (brags a lot, has a RUclips channel devoted to his accomplishments, flaunts lifestyle). Doesn't really matter though. Dude is badass, genius, passionate, and makes cool shit.
I love that radio exchange so much
😂 They got to know me quickly 😂
This is sad, now knowing the fate of Turbulence. Can’t wait to see Turby’s rebirth!
😅 it’s in his hanger so he already fixed it or this was recorded prior either way I’m sure it won’t be long
@@nwanchorcertification nope. You’re not allowed to go back to work. Follow the posts…or, at least read the video description. Peace.
@@nwanchorcertification Mike replied to someone else here, it is still down and he has not had a chance to go back there to work on it.
You talking about the engine failure? Thats not a big deal lol the plane is still airworthy
@@dremwolf5419 just read the video description.
I love how he leveled at 17,500 because that’s as high as he could’ve gone while remaining VFR and outside of class A airspace 😆 that was frickin wild after an insane climb lol
Mike, as an air traffic controller here your aircraft is truly amazing and I’d love to work something like this in my airspace!
I love all your videos, the engineering, the excitement, the fun. But something that you said here touched my heart and it wasn’t about aviation. It was about fresh water for the world. Our church adopted some villages in Gana, Africa, and when we first got there, the villagers were getting all of their water from an infested river. The digestive diseases they had were terrible. We were able to first supply water filtration systems, then rainwater harvesting systems, and finally fresh water wells. The change in their health has been amazing. Unfortunately there are places all around the world where the people are still drinking polluted water. Thanks to people like you, solutions are being tried to turn this around.
Thank you for that, and for the great aviation content!!
I thought I recognized that fuel truck!! When you cut to your pal, Marty Abbot, coming down the line with our little ski hill in the background...I knew that you were at my 'Home Drome', KAUW. I'm sure I was in the crowd, if not giving informal tours talking about the history of the field. Turbulence sure was THE hot rod in a group of hot rods that day!
Thanks BTW for your gift to Learn Build Fly, the 501C 3 mentoring organization on that field, we much appreciate the boost it provided!
"Wait, WHAT" that was funny! Great stuff Mike P.
As a mechanic, not a pilot what astounds me the most is the incredible amount of power that that little PT6 can generate from a little bit of Jet-A!
I don't think people truly appreciate the amount of engineering that it takes to be able to produce over a thousand horsepower from a sub 500 lb engine and do it continually for thousands of hours!
It’s always a pleasure to hear more about Turbulence, and I would also be very interested in hearing about your water making technology. Clean drinking water for everybody is a world problem that can actually be solved.
Mr. Beast partnership??
@@3SM20Pilot : you beat me to that one !
I know practically nothing about airplanes. I've been watching every video for a few years now - super cool.
In the skies where winds do dance,
A tale of Mike Patey, his plane's advance.
Through turbulence, a daring flight,
In the boundless blue, a fearless sight.
Wings slicing through the chaotic air,
Mike's spirit soaring without a care.
His plane, a vessel, a fearless steed,
In the tempest's grasp, a noble deed.
Turbulence, a challenge embraced,
Mike's courage and skill interlaced.
Among the clouds, where storms do brew,
He navigates with a heart so true.
A maverick in the vast expanse,
Mike Patey, a pilot, takes a chance.
Through twists and turns, he finds his way,
In the turbulence, a ballet in the gray.
The air becomes a canvas wild,
As Patey's plane, like a fearless child,
Dances through the gusts and roars,
Defying gravity, seeking more.
In the cockpit, a symphony of might,
Mike guides his plane through day and night.
Through turbulence, a journey bold,
A tale of aviation, forever told.
👍👍👍
Thank you for taking time to compose and share this. I appreciate it.
chatgpt type rhyme
i guess ai doesn't sign youtube comments
@@eugeneputin1858 Only people who live sad existences have to leave comments like you just did. You showed more about you than anything.
438mph!!! That is crazy fast for a small plane like that and im sure it felt great doing it. congrats on the new record and look forward to the rebirth of Turbulence once you get the engine stuff all figured out. Also thank you for constantly pushing the envelope in all your endeavors and being a joyful and humble person!
Around mach 0.84 at 25,000 ft
Mike plz let us know what you learned about the engine failure.
Keep the content coming. Really enjoy it.
Stay safe!!
Won't know anymore than we already do until we pull the engine. Can't wait to get out there and swap it, but got a few projects I need to finish up before I can do that.
Mike mentioned in a different video that tht engine was not new when he installed it - and he monitored the engine params every second I believe - there is a chance the engine was over temped or hot started a few times, which can significantly reduce TBO
@ghostrider-be9ek I remember that, and I believe I heard that it was going to be sent to P&W to be inspected.
@@Do-UR-Research2749 yes, PWC like to investigate odd failures like this as they are so unusual - PT6s rarely fail uncontained like this. I've personally seen PT discs open up like a flower, shed all the blades and not eject parts radially outwards.
@@ghostrider-be9ekso not like blowing on a dandelion like Mike experienced.
Best motivational video one could ask for on a Sat morning. I'm going back to work!
What a wonderful visionary, engineer and determined aviator we have here in Mike Patey. Comes across as a gentleman with humility too - quite the aspirational combination! Cheers from Sydney - Dave
One of the reasons I enjoy watching your videos is that one day I might return to flying and this is motivating. I usually watch them as I get up in the morning in my big truck then go do my pre trip to start the day.
Hope the repairs are coming along well!!!😎
Instant sub! I’m an aviation nut, owned a Comanche 260 & loved it but through some unfortunate events I had to give it up. Love the channel already! The enthusiasm & excitement is great! God has obviously blessed you tremendously!
Cheers!
Welcome!
It is always mind-blowing everything you do from an idea to its realization, the best inspiration in life, and "learning a little more every day until the day you die" has a very deep meaning. That's the beauty of this life. Happy holidays to you and your family.
What an incredible life story and it has much more to go. What an inspiration!
Hey Mike! I've been watching you since Draco and love everything about your entrepreneurial work ethic, engineering mind and overall presence. Thank you. I'm not an Aviator but I am fan of your world. My world is (currently) beer. I own a brewery in Waco, Texas and one of our flagship beers is also called Turbulence. Coincidence? Definitely. However, I would still send you a few cans of our Turbulence IPA if you would appreciate them. I used to live in Orem and Lehi, just to your north so I am not offended if you decline. I just thought there might be a connection between our different worlds. And maybe it can help with the rebirth of your Turbulence. Cheers, Sir. I look forward to your next builds. Oh, and the house too! "Every time something new gets built (or brewed) the entire world advances." Thanks, again.
Mike! You done somethings no one has done before, and they work. You are makeing a big part in the world advancing. Haven't been watching alot of videos lately because im always trying to ge back to work, and thats because of your inspiration.
I’m hooked, love your positivity
You're part of what inspired me to get my PPL. Got it 4 months ago and going for my instrument. Love flying. I get why it's a passion for you!
8:20 Mate, someone has stuck a car on your wall, right behind you! 🤣🤣
I’ll definitely get the miniature Scrappy to go along with my wing spars 👍
“Learn a little more each day until you die” Spot on!!!
Congratulations Mike! Thanks for the inspiration. You're an example for us all.
Amazing video! You can see in your face how much all this means to you. Its refreshing
I have no clue about aviation nor any major technical knowhow but i,m fascinated with the things you show and love your enthousiasm, stay safe and keep us showing your wild projects ! People give this man a like when you watch this 😉
Mike, your are definitely a great contributer to the advancement of our world. You and your brother are absolute genius's. I cant wait to see the results of replacing the engine in Turbulence. I am sure it will be even better than before. Thats just how you are. I am about to schedule my checkride for my PPL, and you are a huge influencer in my finally chasing my dream. Thank you for all you do. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friend, and happy holidays to you and your family. 🤘🇺🇸🛩️
Mike, you are my favorite, I watched all your builds and I can’t wait to see what’s is coming, what ever it is it’s sure will be exciting.
Safe travels.
Thanks for making this series, Mike. I've wondered many years of watching your videos about the details of Turbulence. Just got two "BACK TO WORK" t-shirts for my fiancé and myself, and they are awesome! Can't wait to see what you build next.
Glad you like them!
That was absolutely incredible! Thank you very much Mike.
Thanks, Mike! You have started off the weekend in the best way with a cool little video on Turbulence.
Thank you....however I got really interested in the crazy house build.....need to see more! And hopefully a walk through of the whole house at some point!
Working on a house episode now, should have something out in the next few weeks. Hold strong 🤠
Awesome video. Inspirational to say the least. Along with your story about it showing the fortitude and drive factors it takes to make it happen.
Wow !!!! Amazing. Congratulations Mike.
Another great video Mike. It’s amazing what you do with those planes. I love learning from you.
What an amazing inspiration you are Mike. Thank you.
Awesome achievement. Well done. Thankyou for pushing the envelope and inspiring others to do the same.
Your enthusiasm for aviation is second to no one….well done sir!👍👍
Amazing machine and work , inspirationnal, thanks for sharing !
That was fun, now back to work!💪 🤠
Congrats Mike... What a great and humble guy ....
Mike thank you for sharing your life with us. I have been involved with the public address side of air shows since 1985 in South Africa. I have been told to leave in 2022 but have never had the privilege to see something like Turbulence. The fastest " Single engine" I have seen I have seen was a Lance Air. ( Excluding fighter jets of course 🤣🤣 I absolutely love your passion for aviation. Onwards to greater and better things from South Africa.
I’m pretty picky about RUclips subs. Mike, Destin from smarter everyday, and only a handful of others make the cut. Keep up the good work!
ATC: Hey Mike, where are you headed? MIke: “space” 🤣
🤣
Thanks Mike. Very inspirational.
Mike we would love to see more footage of Turbulence’s awesome speed !! Great job , and kudos to you , your family and your team.
My son and I are after the flying Saucer, it is possible when humanity improves to always seek the best interest of our neighbors all around the world ❣️ love you 💕
Congratulations Mike!
As a fan of backcountry airplanes and a long time 185 owner, my request for you would be to build the equivalent of a DHC-3 Otter that did 300 Knots for 1,000 miles. Land short, big useful load, room for stuff, go fast, go far.
Is that all?🙃
You’re a great inspiration, love your energy and work ethic! Keep it up,
WOW...Mike that is mighty fast for a prop plane and a BIG CONGRATS on that build....Fly safe my friend and God Bless you and yours ❣
Old Shoe🇺🇸
Amazing dude absolutely brilliant, im always so impressed with the engineer you do
love watching these. one of the best stories online!
WOW! You’re as fast a P-51 Mustang. Are you going to offer a kit from Turbulence design? Congratulations on the speed record. You know there might just be a market for a long range high cruise speed business airplane version. Hmm 🤔 Sincere respect and admiration for what you’ve accomplished here. WELL DONE SIR 👍👍👍❤️
Always great content, Mike! Scrappy will find its place on my desk:)
Love what you do , you are living every little and big kids dream for us .thanks
One of the most positive people on you tube and I see negative comments and people telling you what you should do, how you should do and when you should do. If you are not part of the solution you are definitely part of the problem and it amazes me how many idiots there are in the world. Mike works harder, does more than 99.9 percent of the population and is one of the most honest, humble and positive people I have met . Mike do what you do ,when you do it and I hope you ignore any of the naysayers, there are a lot of people who appreciate any content that you put out and I will continue to support you and your channel. Thank you for all the knowledge and entertainment you have provided these many years👍💪
Man, Mike is a legend. Love his humility too. What an awesome life to live.
i wish i could be half the manwe see in these videos. obviously we dont see who the man is when he isn't being recorded but I have a feeling he's a pretty good man all around. he's definitely talented and very successful.
@@shwilliedude973 He's an even better man off camera...if you can believe that.
@@JoshKelson yeah, I can believe it.
Mind blowing as always!! Keep up the great content.🔥🛩️ Can't wait for news on the rebuild.
Mike thank you for letting us see a little piece of your incredible world. With the challenge that you have spoken of, of a airframe that has high speed yet can then turn into a slow flight aircraft in my opinion is the true need for the firefighting air tanker aircraft for the next generation. The modification of commercial jets to do the job is great for response, but speed reduction for safe application is the challenge. I can see your knowledge having such a huge positive impacts for the future of firefighting. And again thank you for all the positive impacts you have already done and continue to do. Back to work making flight safer.
Inspiring work and love the attitude and work ethic! Keep it up! Blue skies
So stoked as soon as I saw this at +4 min. Let's goooo
Mike I don’t know how you get the time. But you must have 32 hrs in a day and 10 day work week. What planet, time zone etc do you live on? This is truly amazing. And hats off to your wife for supporting this. Not many can. Just remember to give thanks on Sunday!
You’re always pushing the limits, I hope you stay safe. No doubt you are miles ahead with strength through engineering.
Ty my good man! Appreciate that!
Since I found your stuff here Mike - nothing but inspiring brilliance and kindness.
Apex level aviation :)
Remember the number one rule of life. To much of any one thing is not good for you. The world of aviation would suck without you Mike.
What a great achievements Mike, with turbulence and smart mind behind it nothing is impossible, congratulations 🎊 🎊🎉🍾🎈
Mike is correct in saying that he is adding time to his life, because the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time goes, so when he is flying, even though he is moving faster than the rest of us, time is going by slower compared to what our time is going by.
Good morning from Minnesota!! Fantastic episode!! Cant wait to see whats next gor Turbulence!
Mike, what a wonderful achievement!
Nice Guy, warm and inspirational!
you inspire me. thank you so much!
Truly one of the most inspirational men on the planet. We could all do better with just a little piece of his attitude, compassion and drive.
Long live the G.O.A.T. Of GA
Can't wait to see what's next! Whatever you post, I'll get the notification and you better believe I'll be watching!
Thanks Mike. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. 🦃
Congratulations to a grateful competitor! The smartest man on earth!
Fabulous, Thanks for sharing and laying it out like this... You are an inspiration and one fast cat !!
Congratulations 👏🏼
Mike, EcoVap is genius. Had to watch that video a couple times, it's inspiring!
Congratulations on your success that day, excited to come along on the next ones.
It’s physics, math, and engineering! Let’s go!
Great job Mike. 💪🏼
Congrats Mike. Lightyears ahead of most.
A true Renaissance man.
Your work IS paying it forward for the next generation.
Your expertise goes far beyond the flight envelope. I think you are pushing people to step out of their comfort zone and expand their vision in all aspects of life.
Wishing you and your familia a great holiday season.
Congratulations! I can only imagine what an awesome feeling it must be to not only go that fast but to win such an awesome spot in the books!
Great fun!.. thrilling, thank you!
Congrats Mike!!! Hope to see Turbulence and Scrapy as Eflite models. 🤟
Hey Mike, love your enthusiasm man, it’s rubbing off! Regards from Scotland 🏴
Great Man so awesome. Its an absolute pleasure watching your videos.
All of it is incredible and awesome. You rock it!
Growing up in Oshkosh was one of the most amazing things of my life. I wouldn’t change it for the world every summer, baby and blue angels! You can’t forget the blue angels!
I'm 58 & have never been on a plane! Yet, I love them! 👍
Woah! Congrats 🎉
Super appreciate all you do for aviation and the great state of Utah!! Looking forward to seeing Turbulence again.
