I feel that much more professional now after seeing Mike Patey using a hammer to install a bearing.
Bushing
😂 I have to admit I almost pulled that clip in edit, then 🤷♂️😂 what the heck, it’s just me. It’s what I did this time on a non high press fit bearings needing a love tap to sneak in. Also a bushing I did the same. Press is the way to go. This bearing turns a quarter turn only during swing, I could have just used a bushing. Oh also I use claw hammers to build planes 🤪 grew up as a framer, love hammers since I could crawl. How about this for a video warning??, “Do not do this at home, may cause cancer or a smashed finger, use a press”. Love the comment ❤️ thanks for following this knucklehead. Your the best.
@@MikePateyis that why you reuploaded the video? Lol💪
@@MikePatey now I’m about 40% smarter that you replied! Don’t worry I just ordered a brand new claw hammer 😂. Nah man jk I love the work! I’m knee deep in cad and 3D printing all because of you man. Thanks for the inspiration!
@@mertonallowicious😂 I am curious what happened to the first one 🤷♂️ my friend Josh does the videos and releases now and I didn’t know it got uploaded again until I read it in these comments. I’ll ask him Monday. My guess is upload problems or sound or weird stuff is usually why we do it again. No idea 🤷♂️
This guy builds three custom airplanes in the time it takes me to finally get around to organizing my garage.
“Just have it” (about licensing the gear design). What a stand up guy.
Love the random quotes. “What a great day” “the best day” and so on.
The world is better place when we live from gratitude💪🏻
Jazz is the perfect sound track to aerospace composite layup.
Mike Patey is the DaVinci of the modern era. So lucky to have this on video.
You really are a real life tony stark/iron man! If they say they have seen a real life iron man i know exactly who built and is probly in it!!
The intro always gets stomping my feet to the beat. So motivational 💪🏼
From the hacks at rebuild rescue to jimmys world……then there is Mike Patey!
I don't know a damn thing about aviation or flying airplanes, but all your videos are inspirational to me as a human being.
The appearance of the claw hammer @ 9:27, made me think back to your humble beginnings building decks with your brother. Loved this video!
This one has that "old" times vibe, spending fun time with guys in the shop. Joy to watch, thanks, have a good time.
👍 this second upload should play better. Thanks Mike.
I don't know who first said that Mike's real hobby was sanding and he just makes airplanes as an excuse to do more sanding, but I was not disappointed by the amount of sanding in the construction of Turbulence. The carbon fiber was a gimme but the thickness of the anodising was bonus.
Is that why he makes enormous custom, mirror smooth carbon fibre cowls for his planes, to get more more sanding in? 😀 I can see it, Mike leads a busy, hectic lifestyle. A bit of quiet sanding at the end of the day would be almost meditative.
Turbulence is incredible. PLEASE don't forget the house. I as hooked on that series as much as DRACO & SCRAPPY!! Always looking forward to your videos. OSHKOSH TOO. Safe travels.
A little Patey to heal the soul. Best content ever.
Will we ever get a long-form sit-down interview with Ron telling his story? Ron really is the secret weapon behind these builds and I would love hearing from him, and yes, including the mistakes he has made. I think most people here won't see him as the sum of his mistakes, but as the man who overcame them. Please, Ron, tell your story.
Never knew you were such a Broncos fan. Love it!
It was required as I’m from Colorado 😆 🧡💙
@@ChandraSlyFoxPatey Hoping for at least a conference appearance this year.
Mike, this is a better series than the Scrappy build! That one was way to long. Draco is still my favorite and I'm waiting for Draco X! Have a good one!
I am continuously amazed at this man. And then to give the design to another company. WOW!
There are two words that impress the hell out of me in this video: "... absolutely not..." ...RESPECT - when asked by a commercial entity if they could licence your design and you used those two words while giving free access to video and supporting material, that demonstrates passion and a true love for design and innovation. I work in a totally different environment (extreme offshore kayak fishing) but gain so much from your philosophy of safety and sharing... ...love your work, thank you !!!
I get so pumped up and motivated while watching a Mike Patey build video. I'll get "back to work" on my hen house, but the temp outside is 102 in the shade, so it's back inside to watch more Mike Patey build videos... and, repeat.
Genius! He seems surprised when something he made turns out perfect. Nobody else is surprised. Absolute genius.
Thats an almost perfectly true comment.
For a very good reason.
Mike has the knowledge to be able to foresee all (but in Mikes mind its, HOPEFULLY all) the possible problems that enable the flow of the designs.
Without foreseeing all the possible problems, the design will be flawed.
Public hardly ever have the ability to watch Mikes vodeos and be a step ahead in our minds, because they cant see the potential problems looming up at the designs.
So when a designed part is built and it works, that evidences for Mike that he didnt unforsee any of the foreseable problems.
Thats an adrenaline rush that makes great people deservedly pleased to be who they are.
Its called self esteam.
That is exactly what stops otherwise justified "self confidence", from entering the slippery slope down to stupidity.
Some people will measure, cut, and measure again to check upon their own skills and tool quality etc.
Others simply measure and cut and bash it into place (if they bother to measure).
Mike is simply in the former measure cut measure group.
Mike over the years you have totally changed and improved with novel and new ideas a number of aircraft designs made by other designers.
It it now not time for you to design and build a unique Mike Patey design to surprise and amaze the aviation world with your tremendous insight and design abilities.
I am 70 and have seen unbelievable advances in aviation in my life time so far so please do not disappoint l would like to see a 100 percent unique Mike Patey design in the near future and l am sure there are thousands of your admirers and followers that would like to see the same.

One lesson from the Gimli Glider was that it can be advantageous to have the nose gear drop into the wind, as opposed to pushing forward against it. Of course in this case, it would have moved the gear back, decreasing the directional stability that you mentioned. So, best not run out of fuel over Manitoba. 🙂
I'm always just a little sad when an episode ends. Excellent work!
That was an interesting design of the nose gear, you are always coming up with new and innovative ways of doing things. As a aircraft mechanic, I really admire that. Keep up the good work Mike.
Thank you very much!
Id like to see more of it, any chance of showing us more details?
Was great to see you and Ron work naturally and happily together, I suppose back in the day when wasnt for RUclips so he wasnt camera shy! lol
Dude, you are so positive and motivated. I wish I had some of your bottomless enthusiasm. Can you make a video that tells me how I can live like you. You are a legend sir. Respect.
I need a Mike Patey alarm clock to finish off my Goat farm. Cheers Boss!
This series could be 2hrs long and l would have to pause it to get a coffee it is that interesting. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks for letting us tag along. I don’t get to see genius in action everyday
Any chance you will fly during one of the air shows at Oshkosh? It would be cool to see this do a low pass!
Two uploads from Mike in one day? 😉
Glad you’re sharing this older video with us. Inspiring to see decades ago Mike just as humble and enthusiastic.
I have been watching your channel from the very beginning...very simply put.. you are hands down the hardest working smartest human....period!
Hey Mike,
I'm a retired Welsh Paramedic living in Cwmbran, South Wales, UK, I Had to retire on grounds of Ill health after injuring my spine. So Mobility limited but a life long aviation fan (My Dad was in the RAF just after the war, last deployment was Kai tak in Hong kong...The final place in the world to use the Spitfire operationally!) So what to do now? Well I'm not particularl rich as Ambulance Service Pension was limited due to enforced earlier retirement... I built a Home flight simulator based around the revolutionary Honeycomb Alpha + Bravo units!...also make scale model aircraft...and I Avidly watch You Tube aviation videos, LOTS of them and then I discovered your channel, the result was total awe struck inspiration!, I have a brother who has his own light engineering company, he does a lot of CAD work, anyway, I've converted him to watch your aviaton contruction videos too from his usual diet of high performance Motor cycle ones!
Sorry for the 'Life story' part but I wanted to illustrate how your videos have reached far and wide but not only in a geographical sense but in a socially diverse one! Plus they certainly cheered me up on bleak days where chronic pain rears it's ugly head!
So..a new Subscriber and avid follower from Wales. in the UK.
Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Cymru am byth!
wohoo the video is back!
11:47 - love the music and the mood
When it’s not been done before it’s a Mike Patey path to realization. Imagine the impossible into existence. Very satisfying watching the birth of beast mode plane parts working as designed.
Oh Man that is beautiful Mike, I can hardly wait till you transition to Zero Gravity Space Cruisers with Magnetic drive....
With an aeroplane like that, you have to have snappy-acting landing gear to compliment its speed. Good, work!
I had to laugh out lout as Mark looks at the parts pile of the new landing gear and totally deadpan says "Yeah, that's a Cirrus part." 😂😂😁😁😂😂
When someone deserve the titel leading engineer it´s you Mike ! Everything is perfect you engineer ! astonishing
Perfect timing for me ! Just like a bed time story 😊
I am very impressed, you did the right thing not licensing the nose gear design. Giving it out for all to use was very kind and says a lot about you as a person, you are a stand up guy. Small fish like me appreciate what you did.
Giving it for free also reduces liability
I could sit and watch Mike design and build anything for hours on end. I am fascinated watching these videos.
Aside from the airplane stuff, I think we one of the most impressive things is Mike's collection of Denver Bronco t-shirts... ;)
I love your channel getting back to planes. However.....I am intensely curious regarding your water treatment project that we learned about during your Scrappy build. Any chance we can get some videos about that? Even a longer, documentary format would be, IMO, well received and popular.
Mike, your engineering abilities, the guts you have to tackle projects most of us would say were impossible (yet you make look easy), starting with a clean sheet and designing something this robust yet simple, makes you a rock star in my book. I keep going back in my mind to the overall build, somehow you manage to get the CG just right. That in itself is a feat of elephantine proportions.
Mike is exceptionally smart, highly motivated and always doing something that pushes the edge of the envelope. Aeronautical genus, keep them coming Mike!
It's funny watching younger Mike in some of these videos. He gets to the end of his piece to camera and gives the thumbs up, and he wants to say something else (3:05), but he doesn't quite have the words and seems a little lost. Younger Mike hasn't quite figured out that he wants to say "back to work" and get on with it! It's crazy how much that phrase has become a part of a Mike Patey video, and it's always a bit jarring when you don't get one when you'd expect! 😀
You reminded me that prior to 3D models, we designed aircraft using drafting boards and slide rules. Today however, we can do so much more with the likes of CATIA and Solid Works.
You today my friend, are the equivalent of over 30 to100 engineers and drafting technicians. Truly remarkable.
Back to work Mike!
From one engineer to another... Elegant.
That Av8r shirt looked so good I had to order one on the spot. Love everything you do Mike! You are inspiring a whole new generation!
Great video! MOAR! MOAR! TURBULENCE!!
Mike, I watch these incredible videos only to remind myself how inept I am!! This front gear is another masterpiece. What a remarkable rocket ship this is.
loving this series's of videos on Turbulence...
It was very gratifying to hear that there are other planes using your landing gear. I build race cars and always struggle to justify to myself the time spent designing one off parts that won't benefit anyone else.
Doing one-offs is putting a lot of faith out there. It’s awesome you’re taking on the challenge and making it work, even if only for yourself 👍👍
Much love from Texas! You are the man Mike!! I hope for many more late nights with my machines chasing the dreams like you do!!
Im just waiting for a futuristic build.
Though. He might have to go into submarines and teach some fools.
Id love to see a Spector Class sub-fighter . If there anyone that could make seaquest realistic. It'd be Mike. LoL
9:47 Claw hammer FTW!
Beautiful design and awesome hardware!
Mike, another incredible project completed. It is really fascinating to she how you make things work - right.
It's amazing how much footage you guys have and how good some of this footage is for all of it from before the RUclips channel era.
If you created videos on your Tug designing and production , I would binge those.
I love the FAA approved claw hammer!
Mike is No1 in the world!
I did the same thing. Trig? I’ll never use this in the real world. Calc? Same thing. Calc II, Calc III, Differential Equations? I will surely never use these in the real world!!! Then, I became an engineer. Man, was I ever wrong. I use them every day. Solid works makes it a lot easier on the brain. Great job Mike.
I see these vids pop up, then still itching for the next one lol
WHAT AN AMAZING BUILD and a very fast Plane....Thanks Mike and crew....Blessing to y'all ❣🙏🙏🙏👍

Ok Mike, I get it-- you're awesome! Nothing is ever enough! It looks exhausting.
Your are the "ROCK STAR" of the fabricators of planet earth. Have only ever met one other person with your work ethic but am not sure if he knows which end of a hammer to use, BUT as an engineer I have seen him solve problems that I had no idea could exist.
Mike, I’m struggling through a massive construction project right now, without much help. Some days, watching your videos make me feel utterly unqualified to keep going, due to the fact that I don’t have the in-depth knowledge to solve all of the problems I encounter. However, I always end up coming back and watching your endless work ethic and it inspires me to GET BACK TO WORK. Thank you for sharing the incredible work you do with all of us online, you have a more profound effect on people than you may know!
I first learned about you during the Draco build. You design and production of the parts is incredible. Your mold making is fantastic. Your attention to even the smallest detail leads to beautiful aircraft with amazing capabilities. I would have loved to work with you on any of your builds just for the experience of it.
Absolutely agree. I enjoy making complicated parts to a high standard, but there haven't been many chances come my way to work at the level Mike maintains in everything he does. It would be a great experience working in a team that sets such high standards over a huge variety of aspects of the complete project.
Mike
I wanna see you build a twin engine version in the same format as the Composit pound racer was
....you know, the Reno racer
Mike Patey ... Imaginative, outside the box thinking, coupled with excellent and creative engineering and fabrication skills ... I'm always gobsmacked at whatever you do
It blows my mind how this channel has only the subs it does.. This should be superstar stuff.
Woop woop!
Another inspiring video of the genius that Mike is.
You've got some great stories to tell, and it's great to watch you tell them. Thanks for the video!
I think you're my hero Mike.
Thanks for sharing all of your builds!
Perfecto as usual!
You’re an amazing man Mike Patey!!
Very nice Mike ..great job
Awesome. Thank you.
Thanks Mike👍
Amazing. Love these vids. Blows my mind!!! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome!
I Have to agree with all of the comments below Mr. Mike, Great Video. Thanks for sharing..🙃
Thanks Mike, always good day when you put up a video!
The airplane build videos are awesome
Great work Mike...
Awesome. Thanks bud!
Thanks for the reupload! This is SUCH a cool video
The scientists and engineers from the Apollo program really caught my attention. What all those people were able to do with what they had is nothing short of amazing. I've had to calculate using pencil, paper, slide rules, and manuals under pressure. I had to be accurate and fast, and I wasn't even shooting humans off the planet onto the moon. Amazing group of people, all of them.
Amazing plane Mike.
Mike you're crazy in the good way. Amazing making a landing gear housing that is sealed off from the pressures of the air cooling and super flush to reduce even the tiniest COD. Oh and the engraved Turbulence on the landing gear doors was the attention to detail top gear finishing touch.
Hey I like your Tesla. I'd sure love to see you make a battery powered airplane. I'm confident no one could make one more efficient and gorgeous than you can. Of course you couldn't (today) have enough power to get anywhere near the range of Turbulence but I'm sure you could beat the range of the battery powered electric flight trainers in use today.
