CNC a custom mold for my Carbon Fiber wing Slats đ€ | Scrappy #48
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 7. 05. 2021
- With only one foam block to create a mold for my wing, I really need the CNC mill to work as planned. Also I show how I pull several Carbon Fiber parts off of one mold quickly.

I have the impression Mike isn't actually into airplanes, he just loves sanding.
đ
Mike lives for sandingđ
@@MikePatey Ok so hear me out. I was laying in bed this morning thinking about super cub with retractable gear. The wheel wells would have to be huge to handle 31âs or 35âs. Not to late for a light modification on scrappy right?
LOL, that's friggin funny right there
My exact initial thoughts after hearing "80 grit" ... đ
I love flight and engineering, but I am fighting cancer and have lost everything in my life. The only joy I have now is watching channels like your do what I always dreamed of. Am my hopes dreams and ambition has been taken away, now I am trapped in a nightmare of a slow and painful death. I have nothing from a family and kids to even being able to live in my own place. I have to live on 800 a month after bills I have nothing. Now my life is watching others live my dreams and waiting to pass. I'm sorry if this message is sad but it is true. I have leukemia, crohn's, kidney failure, oesteonecrosis, ankylosing spondylosis and more. Spent 2017 in a coma and was nearly brain dead. Please keep make great videos so people like me have some happiness, and so you can inspire others to live their best life. Much love to all of you!
Sorry to read your reply Terry but thanks for sharing your story. Tough love.
Prayers go out to you Terry. I have lost several close friends to cancer, and I still can't imagine the suffering that they, and you, go through.
âEvery block of carbon fiber has an airplane in it and it is the task of the sander to discover it.â Mike-l-Angelo Patey.
Love thatđ
This channel is a shining beacon of positivity that's sadly been in short supply. Sharing the results and fruits of your labor provide tons of motivation for all and I for one look forward to each new video. Thanks to you and your family Mike for sharing your love of aviation and hard work! A true joy!
"This is barely going to need any sanding, ,,,,,,,,,, 3-4 hours of sanding later, nearly done." Ahhh, the life of a perfectionist. Love this guy. Your like sunshine on a rainy day Mike.
We need Destin from @SmarterEveryDay to film Mike with his super high speed camera so we can see what it looks like when Mike is slowed down to the speed normal people work at.
Lol!
I use Patey's compilations of high-intensity productivity as shame-based motivation to do an hour or two of yard work.
đđđ
@@MikePatey, would you be so kind on uploading a video describing how did you accumulate so much knowledge to do what you do? Probably many families will have an idea how to coach their daughters and sons to become outstanding engineers. Brother Patey, we need more people like you!!!
Mike, call Destin, get him there. Couldn't be a cooler couple dudes workin a project!
Whoever edits these video is a very talented person.
Yes BUT the music is deafening compared to when Mike is speaking. PLEASE turn down the music a notch, and maybe use a wireless/ bluetooth microphone.
@@stkistler17 you could always turn down the audio a touch. This is about engineering, not film making 101
@@wrstew1272 hmmm... I DO turn down my volume when the music levels are too high. Then I have to turn the volume back up, and rewind it a step just to hear him speak. Why couldn't the video editor do the same for the convenience of the viewer?
As a video editor myself I know exactly how easy it is to turn the music down, and how difficult it is to raise the volume of Mike's voice when their is so much background noise. The nice thing about an iPhone is it has its own noise canceling and when combined with air pods or another bluetooth microphone his voice would be much clearer and easier for the video editor.
I saw it mentioned on the comments here as a bit of a joke, but I would honestly love to see Destin from Smarter Everyday do a tour of the place once scrappy is pretty much done and Mike is working on Draco X. I think they both have very similar attitudes and love of science, engineering, and innovation.
PRECISELY
Dude that would be a great colab
I would like to see him do something with Peter Sripol. Peter basically makes anything fly, but his construction methods are a little . . . .sketchy. It would be cool to see Mike build something out of carbon fiber with such precision and have Peter make it fly.
Loved your shout out to your nephew and the pride in his achievements.
You singlehandedly restore my will to study (2nd year of college). I'm losing interest in mechanical engineering, because all we do is theroetical math, and the only practical thing is designing a simple transmission.. When I don't get to make the thing or even see the thing being made and used, I just lose the drive to design it. Your videos make me remeber what I went to college for. Thank you.
Hey idk if your college has it but look into the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) department. They tend to do more design work while MEs do more math. But having the math background of a ME is the harder part. The design part can be learned on the job
Greetings from Australia. Engineering is not an occupation but a passion. Have a look at CZcams website by Allen Millyard. He has built a number of motorcycle engines by adding cylinders to existing engine blocks. V12 Kawasaki out of two Kawasaki Z1300 engines for example, back into the original motorcycle frame. The best engineers are the ones who can walk the talk, like Mike Patey, not just have a piece of paper hanging on the wall. Finish your degree and love what you do.
Years ago I wanted to operate a lathe and a milling machine. I walked into the local technical college, introduced myself to the head of the machining department which taught accredited training courses and told him what I wanted to do, not interested in exams, just knowledge. He taught me himself at the night classes. I also did a TIG welding course at night school. There are ways to get around lame degree courses.
Math is extremely important to you as an engineer. Watch all of Mike's videos. I'm a Master plumber by trade, I needed to learn geometry, trig, and a little algibra. I hate math...I learned it after high school. I just couldn't get it back then.
Stick with it you won't regret it.
Glad to hear. MEAM 1980
Youâre one of my all time favorite aviation super heroâs. I admire all of the different ways you push the boundaries of whatâs possible!! Thank you for being such an awesome ambassador for the aviation community!
Mike Patey, an ambassador for what the human race could be..........what a guy đ
One of the most impressive people to listen to, with the greatest positive mental attitude. Mike is the greatest institution to aviation there is. His R&D is so far superior to anything I have ever seen, it's people like Mike Patey, that make and keep aviation fun and safe for us all....Thanks Mike , God Bless ya man :-)
He's just an awesome engineer with tremendous energy. He was the right guy in the right place in time for this. Greetings from Arizona.
Is this the happiest guy on CZcams or what? I can't help but be in a good mood watching his channel.
He may be happy, but he is very annoying.
Lesson 1 : Dare you give up what you really love doing. Make a passion out of it while running your business. Once you are a happy person you will positive impact others. It is like YING & YANG keep an even keel and stay on track. Thank you Mike and Family.
I am so happy that you have reached so many people to share this project. Every minute is another minutes closer to completion. I am constantly checking for updates. Today I am taking my new EV for a cruise learning its many features and app integration. Let's keep our air clean! My support is to the GM engineers and the wonderful job they have done. Also, a thankyou to Weber States' Professor John Kelly who has so eloquently explained how the Bolt is engineered, assembled, maintained and serviced. He is very much like you, Mike, with a true passion for what you do.
Sunday in Australia. Mothers Day. Church. And a Mike Patey video. Three reasons itâll be a good day.
Not gonna lie. As a young engineer, mike is an inspiration to keep innovating.
For sure!. Not only an inspiration to innovate. He inspires me to use new materials and tools. The last episode reveals the engineer's curiosity about software.
As a slightly older engineer, he is also an inspiration haha!
@@bigblockmaro1 That's the same for me. I am 53 years old, and still using AutoCAD.
Who the heck gives these videos a thumbs down? This is truly inspirational content. Iâm a helo pilot and canât wait to start dabbling in fixed wing flying on my off time.
No better way to finish a week than to watch another awesome Mike Patey video. Thanks, Mike!
I'm so excited to get a pice of a wing spar!
It's awesome Mike that you are making people smile with free mini Dracos.
The WORLD is waiting to see the final WING DESIGN for sure! Can't wait...very exciting EXPERIMENTAL stuff going on!
Mike, I get choked up watching your videos. Just knowing that there is someone like you in the world gives me so much hope for humanity.
Your enthusiasm and energy are sure to spread to all you meet.
Thanks for the vid guys! Good to see Ron front and centre. Looking forward to the Drafting clips! I'm an amature 3D printer operator and moddeller and enjoy seeing the pros at work.
just amazing work im an amputee i saved a girls life on the side of the road and got hit by a drunk driver and it took my leg off right there i finally found a plane i can fly it doesnt have toe brakes its a remos gx i started taking lessons and covid hit my school is still closed the flying cowboys totally inspired me to go get my license growing up my dad had a stearman and a j3 cub thank you mike for what your doing great video again you nailed it!!!!!!
Wow, what a story! Bless you for all youâve been through. đ€
Love to see you getting the kids involved . I thing the best thing Mike can teach them is work ethic. No one works harder than that guy.
Those are going to be the slats!?! đł Holy moly, Scrappy is going to be able to hover in a 5 knot headwind!
I'm living in Europe.
My day so far :
- taking care of some administrative work
- going to the gym for fitness and boxing... don't want to experience my age so much...
- lunch time with my pets, and then watching your video as usual .... and then 15:45 in... experiencing some tears in my eyes because of all the generosity you have and all the good you are willing to give to this world.
Keep going this way. YOU just made my day.
I'm not a aviation guy but you've got me hooked on hard work and amazing design! Love seeing scrappy coming together.
I am really excited to see the finished product with Scrappy, but it has been an amazing journey watching you build it. Thank you. It has made this troubling time in this country a little easier to deal with.
Chip load! Surface speed! A machinists life! I never get tired of it!
G'day Mate, hello from Australia Mike..... Loving the build.... wish i had time to get back to my own build. inspirational stuff :) keep up the good work!
Got my coworker and his wife addicted to watching you now and she even convinced him to buy a set of the spars.
Mike, Y'all make Awesome Videos but this one really knocked it out of the Park. The part where you Called and gave away another Draco really let everyone Know the Man you are. It was Emotional for all of us as well as you. The opportunity for you and your Team to make this Family so Happy was trlly Heart Warming.....now "Let's get Back to Work"....:)
I have to second you đđ
Woke up early to fly with my student before her checkride on Wednesday, I was rewarded for my diligence with a new Scrappy video!
just in time...I was suffering Mike Patey withdrawal...đ„Ž
now I can get back to work đ
It's really awesome but at the same time kinda sad to see Scrappy this far along. I say it's sad because these videos have been so fun and I hate for this build to end. It has truly been an honor to witness this amazing aircraft being built. Thank you for sharing with us Mike!
Don't forget, he is going to build another Draco...2.0.
@@deanmiles3505 trueđ
But wait, its Mike Patey, there's more!
Mike, I watch your videos with my eight and ten year old daughters (my ten year old is a tinkerer and my copilot). Thank you for bringing the highest quality family safe content on CZcams. We just finished a Balsa swamp boat powered by one of my .45 nitro engines from my childhood. Our family of four fly our Beech Sierra all over the south (based at KEKY) and my kiddos just think general aviation is how everyone travels. It is funny to see the odd looks their friends give them when they talk about piloting our plane to the beach or the mountains. Just a normal day in our family. I remember a call from my daughterâs second grade teacher about the story she shared one Monday at show and tell. She shared that she flew to the lake, waterskied and ate lunch, packed up and flew to the farm and checked the game cameras, caught frogs and turtles, packed up again and flew to eat dinner at the beach. I had to explain to her teacher that was a normal Saturday for usâŠ. Aviation is awesome and we are enjoying raising our daughters (future pilots) with aviation in our livesâŠ. Best to you and your family! Richard Grimes
I bet it's really nice having a friend like Ron around that thinks a lot like you!! love these videos!!!
Wings are the most exciting phase of the build for me.
It's always a good day with Mike Patey
I remember when scrappy was a bent up carbon cub frame and a pile of parts, it has come such a ways, Mike is just incredible.
Mike is the reason I'm going to study engineering! You're and inspiration :)
Can't wait until this is ready to fly!
Before Mike pulls it out w/a Best Tug, it makes its first flight as someone sneezes in front of it & "hops"đ€Ł
YES!!!! the next 24mins 10secs is going to be AWESOME!!!!
Get back to work
Watching Mike Patel work and build is so awesome. I put Mike right up in the Elan Musk level. A dreamer, designer, and builder. This is by far my favourite utube video. I wish you nothing but success Mike!
Elon couldn't hold a candle to Mike Patey! Let's see both of them in a sanding competition. I rest my case.
Ok, ok , I concede that point. Nobody, but nobody. Could sand more than MIKE PATEY!
Brilliant solution to simplify what would normally be accomplished with a complex two part mold with an expanding bladder mandrel!!!
Going to be so sad when you complete this project. Really love the detail you share in your filming. Thank you so much for sharing your hard earned time. Your one lucky fella đđđ
Its gonna be a good Saturday!
Fantastic as always. Nothing like a huge CNC mill cutting a part. Wonderful generosity on your give away as well.
I love what your doing. It fills my passion for flying. I received my pilots license in 1972. I don't fly anymore. I spent my money on 6 children instead of aircraft. It was a better investment for us. I watch all of your videos to fill the empty space in my desire to fly. Thanks for filling that void in my life. I did order Scrappy spars to set on my desk.
Just incredible. How could this have been any better? Thanks for sharing good things to help us through these challenging times.
Thank you for all your work that goes into making this channel.
Two things I check in on M. Patey for. Attitude adjustment and to see how cool all his gear is.
Hi Mike, I am not a Pilot but I really enjoy aviation, your work ethics, personality and positive attitude, Thank You ,greetings from Cayman Islands
Late to bed and early to rise makes Mike Patey highly productive and us a little Wise.
When the students are beating you; you know you have not only taught them what you know but you have taught them how to learn as well.
So much energy, motivation and love radiating from Mike's videos. Thank you Mike
Man Mike, even your outro inspires me to get back to work on my personal projects. I donât think Iâll ever get tired of the outro music and clips.
Itâs good to see Ron in the video, by the way.
As a person with experience in CNC woodworking, I have to say that was an amazingly complex project and it turned out beautifully. Can't wait to see the wings completed and on Scrappy. Doesn't look like you will quite be ready for Oshkosh this year. See you at ACCA Mike.
It was a very sad day when Draco died . yet a joy to see scrappy come to life . keep up the grate works Mr Patey !
Draco ainât dead.... just in suspended animation..... Mike is there!
"DRACO has broken into hordes and multitudes of MINI-DRACOS..." WAS a scary day, glad so much good has come from it!â€đ€ đ
Hey Mike your videos are great and your enthusiasm for life is awesome, I know thousands and thousands of people are encouraged continually by your attitude and your love of life. Thank you for all you do through persistence, hard work, vision, and the joy you show. I would love to have one of those little draco's one day, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to justify to my wife to spend the money for one. I flew airplanes for a while in my early twenties but was diagnosed bipolar and was unable to continue towards the commercial license needed to pursue a career as a missionary aviation pilot. Being a carpenter I just decided to in my carpentry, which has now been about 30 years of investment. I have three children one- 15 year old daughter, one- one year old daughter, and a 5 year old son. My children bring me great joy and give me great purpose to love God and lead them in a life of adventure and love for people. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to win one of those draco's so that I can teach my son the joy of flying and he will no longer have to just hear me talk about my love for aviation and the old days when I actually got to fly pilot in command. I love you man, you bring great joy to many people and your attitude is literally what's helped keep me alive when I've dealt with bouts of deep depression. I praise God for you and your witness and the testimony of your Love for life and your search for better ways and continual ways to show love to your fellow man. Thanks again Mike and tell your wife thank you for me, for she has allowed you to become a great man and in doing that she's most likely sacrificed a lot, yet gained more than she could ever have imagined. Now get back to work! đ
You're such an inspiration to us mike! You motivate us to do our best, to push a little further. Thanks!!
Exciting stuff Mike,so glad youâre sharing this journey with usđ
I've said it before..... more Ron please. He seems like a quality dude.
Iâm with Ron, just so excited that youâre finally making wings!
So good to see the wing progress and loving the give aways Mike, to see how you genuinely stoked you are to speak to people and are so humble when they tell you that you are an inspiration. Youâre someone we all look up to. Keep it up.
Good Morning Mike,
I saw the carbon come off of the mold and had a thought:
If I recall correctly, golf ball dimples help reduce drag due to the formation of a small turbulent air barrier around the ball. (as demonstrated by the myth-busters)
What does the aviation industry think about keeping rough surfaces on wings? does that help reduce drag? hurt lift? not matter?
Anyways, keep up the good work!
I'm not a pilot, don't fly RC planes, I'm into motorcycles, but I love watching this man. Mike has smarts, a work ethic, and loves his family. I love the detail he gives on all projects. I plan to buy a Draco RC plane as soon as I can afford to put in my man cave. Keep being a real man, you're an inspiration to many.
Thatâs awesome! Glad youâre enjoying it!!
@@ChandraSlyFoxPatey Chandra- from someone who really knows, does Mike ever get into the âChillâ mood?
@@wrstew1272 He gets antsy if itâs for too long, but he does like to decompress once in a while.
You are an inspiration to us as all. Mike you are keeping the aviation fire burning in me as I save up to build a bearhawk. Thank you very much for all your hard work making these videos!!!
Wow Mike, I love your skill and knowledge. Absolutely amazing. I can see the absolute joy you are getting from giving away Draco's, and that is awesome. You are truly an inspiration and a awesome role model. Thank you for everything you do for aviation and your community. You rock my friend! đ€đșđžđ©ïž
You know Mike is a good guy when he talks to a stranger on the phone long enough to get dark out đđ
"We started early in the morning, it's now 7:00 at night and I'm ready for some lunch."
That tells you all you need to know about Mike Patey's work capacity.
I can totally relate. I have forgotten to eat for 24 hours before, I just worked right through it. I could not figure out why I was so hungry the next day.
Mike needs to relocate to a planet with a longer day
I love watching your videos and when one pop up in my feed i'm straight over here if i'm online if not a,s,a,p,
I watch really intensely to learn as much as i can as i can use your tips and tricks in my hobby,which is RC planes,Helicopters,Quads/Drones and the odd RC car/truck.
Oh when you mentioned about our kids teaching us or over taking us is bang on,i can remember my daughter teaching me how to use our PC,she was seven back then and she is now a young woman of twenty seven with two young kids of her own,bless them,so yeah they really know how to use the new tech a lot faster then me that's for sure. đ
So thank you for sharing as it's very much appreciated from a fan in the UK, with much love and respect and hoping you and yours are all safe and well in these strange times we all find ourselves in. đđŸđđŸđđŸđđŸđđŸ
P,S Here's hoping us activation enthusiast all be it mainly RC (Remote Control) and just about anything that flies in Europe and the UK can enter too.
P,P,S, Yes we can enter in Europe and the UK,Thank you so much Mike and team as it is very,very much appreciated and we love you and yours and what you do for all of us too,Oh sorry for the long post Mike and subscribers but i had to get all this out,won't happen again,well not to much. đđđŸđđđŸ
Watching you talk to that family was awesome! I love watching you all work! Great job.
Mikes optimism and attitude in general is infectious. Love it.
Excellent build on scrappy, you do such amazing things with parts for an airplane that I am really wanting to build my own plane, so keep up the good work and back to work. Thanks Mike what you do in the aviation world.
I got to fly my Draco for the first time today and I was grinning ear to ear! I cannot wait to see Scrappy in RC form too đđ»đ„đđ»
Sooo awesome!! Waiting for next wing building episodes. Back to work! đđȘđ»đȘđ»
Awsome, You're the man !. Looking forward to the drawings and design.
MIKE, YOU ARE THE MAN, UNBELIEVABLE GREAT GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, TELL RON & FAMILY HELLO FROM ARKANSAS [ BACK TO WORK ]...
Thanks Mike! Great way to wake up drinking coffee... Beautiful carbon fiber wing mold with it's awesome mirror imaged part reflected... Have a blessed day everyone!
Man, being a Disabled Veteran is not easy but, you man, make my day, awesome videos đ. Can wait to get my Draco, just waiting for it to get back in stock.
New Video.. HELLL YEAAAAAH... (clears throat) ...back to work đđđŸ
Morning brother. Thank you for such amazing content that I learn from each time I view it. You are truly interesting and talented. Prayers and I can't wait for scrappy to be complete.
When this series started I thought that scrappy was going to be a ânoveltyâ airplane. Like....look at how I crammed this big engine into a cub....but it wonât be that great of a plane to actually fly around. I should have known better. I built a vanâs RV-7 bone stock with all parts partially finished with complete instructions...and it took me 15 years start to finish. This guyâs talent, knowledge, and ability are inspirational.
Your are an real inspiration for us Mike. You inspire me about aviation but you also helped me learning english through your vids. so thanks.
This video is a perfect start to my Saturday! It will relax me to prep for a board of director's meeting this afternoon and well, in general. Can't wait to see Scrappy blast off, maneuver, and 'float' to a landing. Thanks Mike and family! đ€
Been watching for a long time, the most impressive thing I find about your videos is the the amazing knowledge you have I hope to get there one day. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideaâs this breeds new ideaâs and inspires people to go out of there way to learn new things.
Thank you
This is an ingenious idea to make consistent leading edge carbon fiber parts for Scrappy. Thanks for sharing with us.
Mike, I love your videos, so inspiring. As a ex gliding instructor I gave it all up to bring up a family and pay the mortgage. Your videos inspire me to go after my dream of flying again, however that looks unlikely in the short term. I am not jealous - honest. You obviously have the time, skill, space, money, motivation and a beautiful wife and home. I only have a couple of those points. All the best with Scrappy. Again your enthusiasm is infectious.
So much fun watching you get this plane together, your energy and enthusiasm, mixed with all the technical know-how you've gained through all your years of fabrication, building and flight, is mind boggling :)
*_7PM rolls around... Mike... Welp looks like itâs time for lunch!_*
You are an inspiration... you bring a smile to so many people's face.. ITS AWESOME!!!đđđđ
Dear Mike, for me, the greatest delight is the fact that I see next to you a growing generation of guys who see your work, learn, gain proper experience and all this gives me confidence that everything you started with your brother, everything what you have already realized, everything that you have already brought to life will continue and develop !! For this alone, we can be sincerely grateful to you !!!
Iâm always excited when you release a new video. Back to work!
At the beginning of the video, me: "Finally, building wings!"
Ron's excitement at the end about building wings, me: "I hear you brother!!"
Hallelujah!
Mike Patey, would you be so kind on uploading a video describing how did you accumulate so much knowledge to do what do? Probably many families will have an idea how to coach their daughters and sons to become outstanding engineers. Brother Patey, we need more people like you!!!
You're pushing me closer and closer to rebuilding my grandpa's old Cessna 170A. He ground looped it back in the 70's and its been sitting ever since. He repaired all of the damage, but never was able to find time to put it back together. He also has a Taylorcraft floating around that I might build a set of wings for. Maybe someday... With the real estate market in northern utah, I'll be lucky if i'm living here in 5 years.
