  • 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!

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.

      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.

    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 !!

    Two suggestions:
    1) We know Draco cost a chunk o' change and the goal with Scrappy is to re-purpose materials on the low-cost end, what about posting a running total of input cost as you make this new build? Scrap metal has a monetary value.
    2) As an experienced builder, any "builder tips" you want to throw at us as you go would be awesome!

    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.
