We are making progress on scrappy. This episode I show how I modified my frame to allow me to mount a 780 cubic inch Lycoming engine to a Carbon Cub. I’m also going to need a way to use all of that power...

This is some of THE BEST content on RUclips, Scrappy is going to be NUTS! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Congratulations on 100k Mike, I woke Monday and you hit 100k was 99800 when i finally got to sleep. Well done.
Scrappy is heart pumping. But I hope you do an old seaplane one day or redesign . Old ww2 german or Catalina.. as thought out as Draco. But a sea dragon. Then again. I love redesigning core thoughts. You attacking a ridgid airship for long duration and hard weather, OR speed. would be epic as well.
Hahahahahaha! Mike, you should make the Sea Duck! 🤣
I learned a new word today: plenum
NuclearQuantumLasers PewPewPew don’t make me cry again.... some of those old timers told me about this effect....
And to hold on! And able to talk about it and fly again! It’s a good day!
A old friend told me about a dirt strip he grew up near.. NCW... “ there might be Old pilots, but there are No Old Bold Pilots “....
Beavers on Floats are Beautiful aircraft!
This guy takes “watch this” to a whole new level.
@michael knowlden speek for yourself
@michael knowlden I was JUST going to say that.... I worry sometimes about how far Mike pushes the boundaries of physics.
He's almost the "Saul Goodman" of manipulating the laws of nature
You ain't kidding!!
I love the absolute obnoxiousness of your projects. As an engineering student, this is wonderful.
I giggled like a little kid when that airboat took off.
Wait till he does it with the plane
So , that was 0k ? I might have peed a bit too . WOW ! A plane could helicopter right off the tarmac with that combo ! 12 FEET ????
hahaha me too
You are great at explaining. The mind of an engineer, The skills of a teacher, The soul of an aviator.
This should be a college course. The information is unreal, but its put in layman's term so we can understand it. Better than 90% of college teachers.
Agreed, if this guy doesn't spark your interest not many others will. just saying
Yep, best class in aviation design right here. Marvel has a new super hero to add to the team.
Except it is incorrect. Torque is torque no matter what size the prop is. So much for teaching...
andrew dec WOW 😲, stay in school little one. Trying to say rotational Torque stays the same regardless of mass may be the the dumbest thing I think I have ever heard anyone ever say. EVER. And I have a 3 year old kid.
I've talked to college professors in the last 20 years who couldn't pass a GED Test, not to mention the outright falsehoods some of them teach as truth.
When I went to college, they at least attempted to teach something other than Social Justice Warrior 101.
{Yes I know I'm old, you don't have to say it.}
Man would I love to introduce you to my 'ol man. He's almost 70 with stage 4 prostate cancer but you inspire him so much that the look in his eyes when he talks about you and your brother warms the 'cockles of my heart's. Keep doin what you do. Cheers
Spriggsy
So sorry to hear about draco man! Glad you walked away ok, but a sad day for aviation.
Man I love watching these videos!!!
Ill get back to work.... right after i watch this
I was about to comment the same thing... I'm supposed to be writing up a report about a meeting today but I'm watching this lol
I find it ironic that I watch a guy who's motto is "back to work" while I am at work when I should be working. I'll have to work on that...
@@Cowracer67 It won't work. Resistance is Futile....
Chandra and Mike. Please sell t-shirts with Get Back to Work and Mike's arm draw!! You'll sell it like bread
Cowracer67 Keep in mind the unemployment is not working...
I'm a retired from GE systems engineer, and you make me feel like an amateur. I've met 3 or 4 Uber Engineers and they are all like you, just regular guys having a lot of fun. God bless Ya brother. Wish you were my neighbor.
The world needs more Mike Patey. So much fun to watch you work
Painful to make us all know we are under achievers by watching a card carrying GENIUS at work!! Keep Rocking on Sir!!
ursel what an absolutely painful unbelievably truthful comment u posted. Im so goddamn embarrassed to look at myself in the mirror now after this vid.. ....
ursel doran can’t say I’m not trying.
I share these videos with friends stating, "Want to feel dumb, lazy and broke all at the same time?"
@@mohawktaint dude, you ain't kiddin!! Every time I think "this is too much", all I gotta do is watch one of these videos, and get my ass back to WORK!! The man is truly a genius, and having the bucks to do it all himself is definitely a plus! I don't fly, but I do write. This man has inspired me to stay on task...
ursel doran Yea I agree. It’s like equal portion inspiration and making me feel like a lazy dumb broke fuck. So I basically stay about the same which I guess is good.
Mike! Your enthusiasm and mad scientist nature in aviation is infectious! That thing will be airborne before the tail wheel crosses the line! STOL+Mike Patey=VTOL!🤪
There won't be that much forword roll, it's just going go up and up and up...
I was just watching this thinking, why doesn't he just build a helicopter?
Actually excited to see what he comes up for gear! I’m thinking a levered air assist launch, forward gear.
So I didn’t like Mike much when I first watched him. Thought he was a bit of “Hey !Look at me!” . I was wrong. Mike is very knowledgeable and wants to share his knowledge. Sounds more like someone you would want to hang out with. A really great guy . Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us Mike! Back To Work!
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
Mike I honestly believe you are currently the most inspirational person in aviation. Your videos suck me in and make me want to invest even more of my time learning the in depth engineering and aerodynamic theories involved in creating such amazing airplanes. Can’t wait to see what other ingenious ideas you come up with next
One of the few channels with substantial substance going on. Doing what I dream of doing.
There are just no words. What life must be like on your home planet.
They have 300 hour days, 299 of which are spent working
@@juniorballs6025 this I is true lol Mark was my neighbor and projects never stopped going unless it was time to go play. I remember putting lift kits on jeeps then the next project we would be cutting jeeps in half (6x6) and before I knew it we where putting an airplane together in the driveway with neighbors wondering what was going on 🤣
@@recklezz8089 that's awesome buddy
That must have been amazing to watch
@@lewweb451 ya learned a lot and definitely fun to be apart of many sleepless nights of working but always worth it. I even remember driving the 6x6 down to Vegas to set it up for Sema car show ran out of gas on the freeway so I had to pull it off the trailer and drive it to the fas station lol. Tons of memories and never a dull moment
I wish Mike was my science teacher! That airboat demo really put things in perspective! This is going to be mind boggling as far as capabilities.
Love seeing someone who dosen't get frustrated over problems. Actually finds joy in solving them.
Put a slight bubble on those glass doors and scrappy the dragonfly is born!
What better brother to Draco than Dragonfly! 😜
Be more like dragon slayer! I don’t think big brother will be able to hold a candle to Scrappy when it comes to stol competition. Mike is definitely an innovator. This thing is crazy. I’d dare to say that Mike Patey is a name that the younger generation coming up will know as well as the Wright brothers. His passion is second to none.
@@jonathanrogers1582
With some clear wing covering (never gonna happen) knuckles on the landing gear (not necessary) , a little gold/green chameleon tint on that door (probably doesn't exist) it'll look like a gigantic dragonfly HAHA.
Eric French I agree!
Click→ 19:05 Scrappy is shaping up to be a drag race plane!
I belly laughed when I saw that boat launch out of there!
peen
I have never had this much admiration as I have for this guy. Mike is my hero. You can boost you IQ couple of points higher just by being around him for couple of hours. May you live long and happy my friend.
Mike, I have been binge watching ALL of your videos since I discovered your "Draco" videos. After watching the entire build sequence, I feel like I helped build him because you are SO THOROUGH in your build videos. From the bottom of my heart, "I am so sorry that infamous day happened!!" BUT, I am just the same, SO GLAD that nobody was hurt. That was a TRUE MIRACLE!!! My question to you is this, After you built such a capable, famous, BEAUTIFUL STOL plane, why haven't you put him back together again so you can enjoy the "Air Shows, Charity Events, Etc, etc," that you love doing so much. With what I have seen with your skills and abilities, it wouldn't take long to get him back in the air. The AVIATION WORLD loves and needs Draco!!!
"Let's get back to work."
Words to live by!
AWESOME!! I spit my lunch out when you revealed that prop.
😂🤣😂🤣
That airboat example at 19:16 is crazy!! You can see the torque you will have to deal with at takeoff. Great video, now I have to get back to work!
Amazing work and very interesting content, I am looking forward to see this aircraft flying! At 16:40, you say that a conventional propeller would start to “cavitate”, the correct wording is when the boundary layer of the propeller starts to separate. Cavitation in only happening in a liquid, when this phenomenon takes place, the liquid transforms in gaz bubble in the area where the pressure is very low. In your case we talk about a separation due to an adverse pressure gradient developing on the suction side of the blades. When this occurs, the thrust will start to decrease whereas the torque will keep growing exactly as you describe in the video.
Father: Son, what do you wanna do when you grow up?
3 year old: Sends link to this video
Does he make these videos just to make me feel stupid? Dude has skills, very humbling.
As a complete layman I must say, after the first "get into the water" clip I was still doubting the use of that propeller a little.
The second clips literally blew me away! That is totally INSANE!
Dear Mike, Here is a suggested name for the cylinder plates on Scrappy's Engine:-"E.(C).D.H.S." " EVEN (CYLINDER) DISTRIBUTION HEAT SINK" Patented. Great Video with a phenomenal explanation of thrust and cavitation. So so entertaining. Cheers
Mike makes this complicated aeronautical jibberish make sense to us not so genius people. Thanks Mike I love these videos. I'm a fan.
Hey Mike, Just wanted to take a minute and say thank you. It's so good to get a ground-up view of a great aviation project. Seeing someone else passionate about aviation is a real joy. Keep doing what you do. I will be watching with great anticipation. God Bless, Fly safe and continue having fun!
I am a CNC machinist/programmer and was a Top Fuel/Funny Car crew member for 10 years and this channel is my new drug of choice. Love the horsepower, fabrication, and general mad scientist shenanigans! Keep up the awesome work and I can't wait to see Scrappy take shape.
I have never, never, never seen a man with so much energy and enthusiasm. I get tired just watching you.
Surprising how much little things will make a big difference.
and out of the box thinking!
Can't wait to see the finished product. All the members of the flying cowboys motivated me to try and get my pilot's license.
I have just admired this man's full-hearted interest in his work in the manner he described the propeller function to CAVITATE. and lose its thrust, rather than STALLING. To describe what goes on in both water and air propellers I also use the word CAVITATE myself to express both stalling and cavitation and also use "aeration", even though I know they are not the same as Cavitation is the boiling of water at low pressure and when I see the aircraft pulling up or turning with all that misty cloud on their wings they are reducing the pressure so much that the water moisture in the air turns into steam the same as water cavitates in a high-speed water propeller. Aeration and stalling are also interesting functions in propellers. This man knows what he is doing. In water propellers, they can suffer from STALLING, AERATION or CAVITATION while air propellers can stall as much as water propellers may stall. When I hear this gentleman talk about his work, he seems to imagine that he is part of the molecules and atoms and material creating the dynamic function himself. When he talks about the propellers he transforms himself into the water or those air/water particles that go through the blades of both water and air propellers. A great practical man of science indeed, he certainly feels the real science and applied mathematics in his blood and attains its functions with excellent engineering skills. An exceptional man indeed.
I wish to congratulate this very intelligent gentleman at the manner HE FEELS AND IS SO EMOTIONAL about the manner he wants to get close and be part of any engineering function he deals with. All I can say, from a few thousand miles away, MY HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS. I am submitting a few videos related to cavitation, stalling, aeration, ventilation, misting clouding over wings.

My best pal loves your videos and got me hooked. I love how you explain things so I understand and I LOVE your infectious enthusiasm. ❤️
I missed out on watching Draco being engineered in real time. Im glad Im catching Scrappy in time. I can look at that airframe and engineering all day. Fascinating as hell. And Im glad youre trying to keep it look like a Carbon Cub as much as possible.
Mike, love your videos and your crazy ideas that make such great sense when you explain your reasoning behind them. I think the head locker valve cover is such a great idea and it should have been done by the OEM's a long time ago!! I am so looking forward to meeting you at Reno this year!
One great big reason about how Mike is able to do what he does - he isn't looking 'at the bottom line' with a bunch of accountants countering his every thought.The valve covers would be prohibitive for the usual retailer to try to sell as the usual buyer is not looking setting records.
If we could get our kids to half this level of passion and enthusiasm, the world would be better inside a generation. Thanks for being who you are Mike.
Mike... your enthusiasm is infectious... and you so clearly demonstrate that the key to invention is creative problem solving.... I’m pumped up! You excel as a role model for all of us. This video, and you in general, are a “must see” for anyone, young or old, on understanding the base principals of achievement! Thank you. I can’t wait for the next episode! Trent Lyon
🍁"...ouch dropped a big buring BB right here....that'll be a 3rd degree burn...Back to work!"
A lot of the stol drag Pilots are worried about making a Draco killer!But I'd be worried about Scrappy instead! Nice work Mike can't wait for the next video!
Amazing project! My boys and I are both enjoying your ambition, creativity, and enthusiasm. Thanks for explaining about the propeller- it was fascinating.
OMG Mike, just watched the Draco Crash Video, and all I can say is, thank god you, your wife and friend are OK. I commend the way you have handled this. It's take a hell of a pilot to have the recall and fortitude to admit his errors. It's' a mistake that anyone could have made, while I applaud your humility, I would also say, don't be to overly hard on yourself. You are amazing in what you do, and I even bet if anyone could rebuild Draco, you could! Again, Draco can be replaced, you, your family and friends cannot! NOBODY WAS INJURED! Stay strong brother!
If it can take off like that air boat. A new definition to STOL drags!
Love the detail and physics you put into these videos. `really hope that prop works out.
I appreciate the shit out of what you do Mike. Don't ever stop dreaming of the cool shit you do, and making it a reality. You are what I would be if I won a couple lottos.
at first I was like "aw cmon a 29 minute video?? pfft too long" ....then 29 minutes later: I WANT MOARRR
Mike is so freaking good at explaining things
plus the craziness of his projects is off the charts nuts, in the best way
Im seriously getting addicted to these videos
Wow, that prop is insane!
Can't wait to see how it performs in the STOL Drags.
Straight up mad scientist at work! Luv it can’t wait to see scrapbeast take flight 🤘🏼
Talk about a unique individual --goofy, high energy, talented blue collar genius!
i'm not going to lie, i know absolutely nothing about Airplanes but i am a bit of a motorhead and turning your "headlock" into an added heat sink is pure genius!! love your attitude!!
Honestly a genius. So interesting to watch this build.
When I was enlisted in the Air Force, I remember seeing a B1 at the McChord AFB Rodeo back in the 90s. The pilot took off and pointed the nose straight up and I sware that bird register on the Richter scale as it blasted off and disappeared into the blue. It would be mind-blowing to see Mike do this in Scrappy.
I have read statements by a big name in the history aircraft engine technology and development. He stated that the performance of the B-2 based on the engine specs are impossible. The numbers don’t add up by, at least, an order of magnitude. Basically a huge performance differential. He stated that the B-2 would have barely enough power to get airborne based on the engine power and fuel burn specs vs aircraft weight. This guy is a well known and highly respected authority on aircraft piston and turbine engine development. I believe his name is Bill Gunston? His statements were reported for a short while after the B-2 was revealed to the public. Since then? Crickets. I think he got the STFU visit from the “Men in Black”. 👀👽👀 So, either there is another source of propulsion on the B-2. Or the engines produce a tremendously higher level of power output for a given amount of Jet fuel consumption. Possibly an incredibly more energy dense fuel? Or using some of the power of the standard jet fuel in the engines to produce a much more efficient wing with much less drag. Or the B-2 somehow behaves like a much lighter aircraft than it actually is. Hmmm? Maybe Electro-Gravitics? Basically, the B-2 is a giant wing. Improvements in lift/drag give more performance per pound of weight vs a standard aircraft configuration. Increasing the airflow over the wings by using a very high voltage potential difference from the leading edge compared to the engine exhaust and/or trailing edge. Increasing the flow of ions over the wing. Maybe significantly enhancing and/or accelerating laminar flow over the whole wing surface? Eliminating loss of lift from airflow separation due to turbulent wing surface airflow? And/Or eliminating the drag and flow losses of a standard boundary layer? Use your imagination. I’ve used mine and have some ideas and opinions. But we all know what opinions are like.
@@msmeyersmd8 my mistake ... it was actually a Rockwell B-1 Lancer that I saw at the McChord rodeo in the 1990s.
The engineering knowledge, imagination and practical ability you and Mark have is almost unbelievable and then there is your seemingly limitless energy and enthusiasm! Absolutely outstanding and thank you so much for sharing this!
This man is seriously Next Level Grand Master. Not only does he build his own plane he also designs and fabricates his own parts. Displaying a multitude of skills from CAD to fabrication to flying. I could watch these all day!
The most inspirational human being I have ever known. I have no words. Please never stop
Kool that’s actually a head girdle just like a stud girdle in a diesel Thanks for sharing your crazy ingenuity and craftsmanship
Mike. You are a machine! If half of the world had your enthusiasm, drive, and stamina and just plain old common sense approach, we would have no problems at all!
Keep building. You are my inspiration. Very exciting build and I can't wait for the next installment and the eventual unveiling. Too Cool!!
Mike, you are correct to a certain extent about fuel burn. But when we talk about air-throttled engines the larger engine has more pumping losses at a given HP because the smaller engine is running at a larger throttle opening. You can see this from the amount of intake vacuum - that high vacuum is fighting the pistons! If you look at part-throttle brake-specific fuel consumption charts, you will see that from 25 to 50% throttle opening your BSFC decreases considerably. It makes more HP but each HP is "cheaper" in terms of fuel consumption. This is why I like fuel-throttled engines (diesels) for 4-wheeled vehicles. The BSFC stays low at low throttle openings. That's why a 600hp Cummins can get 18 mpg when you drive it nicely but a 600hp big block in the same vehicle will probably burn twice as much.
+50
Thank you for making these videos! Watching them has helped me stay motivated and excited while in A&P school. Blue skies
Just finished helping a friend fabric up some wings on a Taylorcraft Auster, Thanks for the inspiration Patey!
Scrappy will be another one off, Patey marvel! Your ingenuity is off the rails sir!
Mike, I just love your enthusiasm. I don't do planes, but I want to carry this energy into my sailboat. Thank you!
Loved the fuel burn explanation! Everything was very interesting. I can’t wait to see this bird fly😊
Mike, U do, Utah proud! Amazing is just such an understatement.
It's so enjoyable listening to you talk the talk and watching you walk the walk building magnificent flying machines. Thank you so very much for sharing your adventures with your fans and viewers.
These videos become addictive because you get so much done! It is like going to aeronautical school for free!!! Thank you sir!
Incredible video, amazing volume of information....easy to understand why you and Mark are so successful....you blew up the box and discarded the remains.
Let's see... Acceleration is the number one priority. Don't care about top speed or fuel consumption. Its almost as if scrappy is going to be a purpose built STOL drag plane. Just in time for the new STOL Drag class at Reno in 2020.
I’m not sure why you don’t have a couple of millions of subscribers.....but, this channel has an amazing amount of tech info I am feeding my brain of. Back 2 work!
Mike is great at explaining difficult concepts in a way we can all understand. Keep up the fascinating projects mate.
Excellent video as always Mike! Keep 'em coming.
So impressed, thank you for sharing your adventure.
From Australia!
They say that there's nothing better than cubic inches. Watched a pilot just about park his 172 next to my hang glider as I was flying at 1500ft in strong coastal ridge lift one day. He was at full power, very high angle of attack and an upgraded Lycoming O-320 is my bet.
Scope creep , the real deal of how we work.
Keep up the great inspirations on Scappy
Can't wait to see the take-off roll acceleration & climb rate of this thing! Friggin AWESOME!!! 👍👍😎
Am I glad your back Mike 👍👍❤
You know what I like the most about this guy? He's so gifted, so innovative, and so humble, that he shares his homemade solutions with the public without reservation. Really like and respect this man....a true genius!!
Hi from France. Mike, this is where you make people dream again with aviation !! Go back to work, I can't wait to watch you flying this wonder !! ;)
Keep doing these videos. It’s great to see the work in progress. This thing is gonna be a MONSTER! “When I grow up I want to be Mike Patey!!!”
Ok. I’m 52 and you inspire me to get out and build more. My wife would probably not thank you for that though. 👌
I am fascinated watching genius at work, how his minds eye can visualize all the intricate parts in detail and explain how and why things work before they come into fruition...and then Murphy steps in. LOL! Mike, you are a STUD!!
Super job explaining what your trying to create Its a pleasure watching someone with your talent Thanks, Duane
love the head locker !
Thanks for the inspiration
Keep on trucking (from France) !
Dammit Mike, I'm trying to get some work done!
LOL!
Hey Mike, you inspire me and my twin brother to do better and fly more! We started a small grass cutting business and bought a plane with no idea of what we was doing and now have a job lined up flying commercially and a A&P licenses! You inspire us to do great things! Love the videos!
Your a freaking genius. So many things you come up with are crazy smart ideas. Super inspiring, keep up the good work man!! Come back to Alaska with that thing when you get her done!!
"How crazy & abnormal will Scrappy be?"
Mike Patey: *Yes*
Nice job, Mike!! your wife's smile says it all!
All I can think about watching this video is "Mad Scientist". Love it. The prop lesson was fascinating. Thanks for the great content, Mike!
My father in laws’ motto is, “Way too much is almost enough.” I think this combo is probably too much for him. 🤠
Mike I'd like to see you have a hand in designing a new airframe for the firefighting and Ag world... I bet you could come up with something literally out of this world.
Mike first, you are crazy! And of course that is meant in the most flattering way. Second, I am so envious of your lifestyle and life! Keep doing what you’re doing.
Wow! You are so much more incredible and so much more skilled than a couple of bicycle shop owners playing with piano wire, balsa wood, and fabric. Imagine your skill present back then. Where would we be today? I have trouble chewing gum and walking at the same time. You can design, build, manufacture, pilot, and even present your progress on video!
Scrappy is heart pumping. But I hope you do an old seaplane one day or redesign . Old ww2 german or Catalina.. as thought out as Draco. But a sea dragon. Then again. I love redesigning core thoughts. You attacking a ridgid airship for long duration and hard weather, OR speed. would be epic as well.
