I'm not entirely convinced Scrappy needs wings to fly, so be careful on that throttle
Its basically a rocket at this point
That thing pulls like a lethal undertow....
With bigger prop he wont need wings
Im sure the front wheels leg cowlings are sufficient for lift :p
It doesn't need wings, -it has a parachute.
Nothing makes me happier than a Mike Patey notification on CZcams....
I second that
@@dandahlen3532 There's a lot of squalid stupid stuff going on in the world that brings me down, but seeing Mike making some new carbon fiber part or installing some Garmin avionics in his cockpit just makes me feel really good. Love it.
Same here...and when the end-show starts up, I'm like, aw, no! Happy to get the notification but sad when the clip ends. :)
Have you tried Tik Tok braless girls?
The sound of this motor is just something else. So meaty and nice.
Yeah but i think the turbo prop from Draco was better đ
The best sounding engine is a io 520 with a constant speed prop look up on yt Cessna 185 takeoff best sounding plane
I always enjoy the sound of a turbine spooling up.
Next week: "Plane without wings does 8 second 1/4 mile"
Film at 11... lol
If only we still had a drag strip in Utah, sad day
YES!!! đš
đ€Ł
The Patey's attend Cleetus and cars!!! Lol
The engine isnât to fly to plane.....itâs a generator to power all the screens đ€Ł. Great job Mike
Yeah, without all those glass stuff an io-200 would easily do the job đđđđ
lol I was kind of thinking the same lol
Heck ! .. mike could have swoop scrappy down into Puerto Rico to electrify the island..... ..
Actually they may still need some scrappy electrification ?
Might remember to pray for Puerto Rico .. ... . ?
Those exhaust pivot clamps are such a great idea!, A true Engineer the little things mean so much.. nice job
We just used a track that allow the top bushing bolt to travel forward and back, sort of like how an alternator belt was tightened on older cars. Aim it toward where the exhaust originates and it'll expand and contract on a single plane of movement. That eliminates the arc that a swinging arm would produce.
Go pens
@@cw93711 Steelers too. ; )
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper Exactly. The idea is to stabilize the directional forces and permit movement along a fixed plane.
Looks like it could be room for weight improvement. The screws to the fuselage looks to long. The other screws and the stay between the pipes looks stronger than needed. đđ
WHAT A STUNNING MACHINE.... REAL LIFE TONY STARK
Holy smokes! Thatâs quick! The 5yo me is all pure giggles. Love what you and your family is doing!!
Me: not a pilot, but after finding your channel. Itâs invading my dreams. Whoâs hooked, this guy.
Really amazing. Wish I could help sometime. Been trying to do things to feel connected again since I lost my wife. Went to KCMO and did some stuff with Adventures with Purpose last month and this week I went to Tulsa and was helping SV Seeker work on the boat. Outside of that have been doing some diving and made a few video's cleaning up trash or whatever.
Many days I still just feel like I am only existing now that my wife is gone. Actually sat here and watched this and cried because she isn't here to share how awesome the work is. I know she would have loved to see it.
Mate, hang in there. It really does get better, slowly but surely.
Takes all sorts and everyone's different, but I found that growing veggies helped. They're good to give to neighbours and one's never short of an invitation as a result. As a way to get back with people it's a pretty good start. Wine making and brewing was strangely popular too.....;-))
I'm a little jealous that you've been able to weigh in with SV Seeker, must be impressive in the flesh and I like the approach to problems.
In my own field precision and finesse of design are the keys, so sometimes it's a positive pleasure to grab a club hammer and batter something large and agricultural back to shape, very cathartic as a contrast!
Take care of yourself,
Cheers, Rob.
@@robm.4512 Doug is really cool. I can understand part of the reason why he is a little temperamental when it comes to people saying everything is going to hurt, maim or kill... He gets tons of it and I have gotten some as well rebuilding SCUBA regulators. Fixed a fan in his 220 welder while I was there as the bearings decided to gum up. This was my fourth time heading out there and actually doing something.
I know things will get better, I had a son that passed at 9 days old. Some days that still makes things hard though and it was just over 18 years ago. Being in an apartment doesn't allow me to do a ton of stuff outside and with winter coming it makes diving a major downer since I can't afford a decent drysuit. Some days are just really tough which is why I have tried to find some way to feel connected.
@@VentShop I bet he gets fed up with the nannies. I have personally escorted, no options given, one of our HSE (health and safety executive, same as your OSHA lot) officials out of my factory, I was chief Engineer. This particular idiot insisted that we had to provide 360deg guards around our wire and buffing wheels when in operation or face prosecution....."Going to be a bit tricky to get the workpiece to the wheel then", I thought. Then I lost it with the bloke.
To be fair, one incandescent phone call to his boss at head office had the child put under adult supervision for a considerable time. Turned out his boss had done my job for 15 years and was quite old-school too. We became quite good friends and he used to bring his new officers around our place to show them how it was done right and realistically. Through culture, awareness and foresight far more than by 1,2,3,4 regulation.
Gotta say, it is such a pleasure to see the solutions to problems and the beautiful work on Scrappy, an absolute tour de force of cross fertilisation of concepts and solutions between different disciplines. Wonderful work!
Cheers, Rob.
It takes some courage to come on here and make a post like that in public - kudos to you John. Mike's videos are pretty inspirational in themselves, so keep watching and keep on finding things to get yourself out of the house and stay busy; your wife would be proud that you're trying to pick up and carry on. Bless you mate, and I wish you a peaceful Christmas.
I don't think SCRAPPY is the right name for this advanced piece of technology.
Oh you don't say..!.. lol.. It is like calling some one with over grown front teeth..'Tooth-less'
It like calling a 7'2" man "tiny".
FACTS!!!
From my POV, the "contrast" between what the word "scrappy" represent and what a piece of art the plane is, makes the name so cool
@@cjjenson8212 Lame
Even without wings I expected Scrappy to take off.
Youâre in big trouble for dragging the strip while I was flying. đ I totally missed out.
Chandra SlyFox Patey When you have a toy like that, itâs difficult to resist playing with it.
At least, as you were flying, Mike didn't "borrow" your wings!!!!
I thought the prop was the wings
Heh heh heh...
when is your plane starting to be built just wondering
Ted here ex flight engineer, good to see the static draw bar no of 1400 at this power setting.. Is that in lbs? Your estimate of 2000lbs AUW means you could go vertical at full power on prop thrust only. Youll surprise yourself as well as all of us!!.
Mike Patey: Time for arts and crafts.
Plumbers: Is that all I am to you?
đ
đ
ö
At one time Draco was really pushing the envelop, but now, I think you have advanced the art to the point you are pushing cartons. But Mike, that is the kind of guy you are, taking misfortune and turning it into an opportunity to do something even better! There is soooo much we can learn from your excellent example. Love you man!
Dude, your outro is so HYPE. It gives me chills every time!
You know you're a gearhead when you grin all the way through a Mike Patey video.
Next video: Guys I finished Scrapy - We decided to stay with the wings on the legs - it turned out that we have enough power to fly it like this đđ
We need this to make a Southern Africa tour once our airshows get back to pre-covid standard. Aircraft enthusiasts in South Africa and Botswana will definitely appreciate seeing this beaut!
I'm a trained mechanic (furniture industry / wood frames), I had great shop teachers and professors in my engineering lectures, I hold a few patents and I developed products that are in a few million homes (yeah, really) but the idea of building the exhaust manifold from a mock-up from PVC pipe just blew my mind!!!
Iâm constantly at a loss for words at just how amazing scrappy is becoming... total perfection...
Hey, remember that time in Part 1 when Mike said, "Draco was alot time and money, but Scrappy is just going to be time?"
I think "time," and "money" mean different things to Mike than they do to us!!! đđđ
Good For Mike! God bless him. God bless capitalism, self sufficiency, entrepreneurialism!!!!
This is my first post on this forum. Mike Patey is my favorite CZcams channel. His energy and positivity are infectious and magnetic. I can tell he is a good father and husband. The airplane hobby and know how is a bonus and allows his energy to transfer out to those who tune in.
Thanks Mike!
Thank you đ€ . My family is everything. Thanks for the kind words you made my night !
The attention to detail is such a pleasure to witness. Thanks for sharing the build.
Thanks for the exhaust engineering class. I will never look at my pipes again the same.
"Props" to the exhaust shop for the "spot on" welds
can't wait to see it fly. this thing sounds music to my ears :)
Exactly my thoughts
I live about 10 minutes from his hangar, and I'm pretty sure he flew it over my house the other night. I wondered if he got it done and just hasn't uploaded videos of it yet? Maybe not. But if it wasn't him, it was another gray and orange bush plane that looked awfully similar!
Prior to installing the new exhaust system with the "swing arms" to the bottom of the firewall, there appeared to be 2 battery cable extensions in that area. If they were in fact battery cable extensions, what was their purpose. Thx.
Yeah buddy!
The outro gets me every single time... gives me goosebumps.
Really a sexy-sounding aircraft. Right up there with the sound of an old Chris Craft boat. People will know it is Scrappy before they even see it.
Your right about unique engine sound. Every time I fire up my 58 Chris Craft at the dock, everyone stops what they are doing to look. They seem surprised that it is an old wood boat.
Itâs great to have these wonderful insights into other peopleâs passions and achievements. Thanks.
Exhaust stress relief is genius. This applies to all pipes that vent combustion gases. Very useful Mike. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job on scrappy thus far! I thoroughly enjoy the attention to detail you've put in to the whole build and documented for us all to enjoy!
This aircraft is hands down insanely incredible and cant wait for it to take flight !
I cannot wait for wings and the first flight. An amazing journey. I feel like I am vested into this project somehow. It's the way you present and include all the small detail that draws us in.
Absolutely blown away with this build. Unreal engineering and craftsmanship. Hopefully an RC model gets made, since it's just way too cool to not have one at home.
With all that power what do you need wings for???? Launch IT!!! Can't wait to see scrappy fly in the near future. Thanks Mike for the excitement.
Your gonna takeoff so fast with that amount of power like holy crisp man.
Takes off on the undercarriage winglets đ
From the thumbnail, I was thinking, "Must be a retired Thunderbolt". NOPE. When you want a VTOL something, but an Osprey is too obvious. Love it.
What a tease! Just a few quick clips of running Scrappy on the runway. "Oh the wait... Need (Hope for) more more more!"
Thank You Mike for sharing your passion. Love all the details you share that make your aircraft building a precise, quality, solid, durable, innovative experience.
Is the visibility through the prop any different with such a wide blade vs a prop that you would typically find on a plane? That engine sounds fantastic, can't wait to see Scrappy get a set of wings and really put it to good use!
Thatâs a good question, I hadnât thought of that?
I would guess looking through the prop would appear as looking through dark tinted glass, since the prop blocks a percentage of of the light going past it equal to the area of the blades in relation to the full circle. But that's just a guess.
@@ThePatricHalldin I had the same thought that it might just be like looking through a heavier tint on your windows.
been wondering the same thing. I think Patric's response will be pretty accurate. Slightly darker tint but not bad overall, if even noticeable. Some of the turbines have a lot of blades, even though they are not as wide as Mike's they add up, and it doesn't seem to be an issue. If you have an engine out, it could honestly be an extra issue compounded on top of the obvious depending on where the blades stop and block a lot of your view with them being so wide... could potentially bump starter for a better position if the motor isn't locked up.. hopefully never happens period.
Great question. Surprisingly I canât see a difference between it and my 3 bladed aircraft prop. Iâm sure it must be slightly darker but I would have to lean back and forth side by side to see it. You literally just donât notice it at all. đđ€
I just got done rewatching the last video, so happy this new one came out
Been a long time since seeing Draco nearly every week under its own power heading across the runway, so great to see Scrappy doing it for the first time...even without wings. Would be neat to superimpose or compare Draco vs. Scrappy with the same background taxi and lift off, maybe even compare to your wife's carbon cub! Thanks again for all the videos!
Thatâs a great idea :)
Mike compares Scrappy to a drag car...squirting down the taxiway with no wing confirms that comparison!!!
I would really enjoy a engine overview episode. Just looking at the different systems like charging, cooling, air filtration etc. Great video as usual!
You'll probably get some insights to the airfilters, when he builds the cowling.
âSome crazy fool is out on the runway trying to fly without wingsâ
Dat be my husband... again.
If anyone can build a plane that flies without wings, it's Mike.
@@ChandraSlyFoxPatey To quote the movie Apollo 13..."If they could make a washing machine fly...Mike Patey could land it..."
@@ChandraSlyFoxPatey He really is an inspiration...I just got my ppl in August and im 56 years old...he was definitely one of my motivators...
@@johnparkman8150 đđŒ Congratulations on that! Awesome!!
Sounds like a old monster engine muscle car when you twist the wick! LOVE IT MAN!!!
BTW I'm just a Car/Truck master tech for 35+ years. Even I will never reuse exhaust gaskets! Your are asking for a leak! Donuts at the flange of manifold. Sure if still not torn up. But never gaskets.
I love watching your videos. I miss the days we got to build and fix cars. Now days it's just diagnose & replace! I miss fixing or rebuilding components.
Happiness is turning on CZcams and there's a new Mike Patey video to watch. I'm 60 years old and it makes me feel like i'm 8 and in my pajamas on a Saturday morning watching my favorite cartoons. Thank you Mike.
Thatâs the best!! đ
I Love your videos, Mr Patey. My dad and I are both EAA members from Argentina. Much respect.
đŠđ·â„ïž
I can't stop rewinding it and listening to the engine!! It's a beast!!
Again, that engine/prop combo is just mind-boggling to me. Scrappy just keeps getting more amazing, and it doesnât even have wings yet, so the best is yet to come!
I grew up around drag racing, hotrods, engine building, all that good stuff. I've never been around the aviation community but I must say that what you have there is one sexy little aircraft lol.
Canât wait to see a STOL drag race. đ
Mike Patey VS Steve Henry!
Iâm so pumped to see this bird fly!
Western AK-
Hi mike You are sure in the frasme of mind that scrappy is not only driving us mad with anticipation but to see it accelerate like it did is just out of this world. Warp factor 10 and beyond. Keep it coming fella and thankyou
We so need scrappy in Xplane11 and msfs ... Mike thatâs not a scrappy anymore,
Iâm afraid you have built a monster !!
Thank you for mentioning the P-factor I had raised that question in your last video. Followed this build religiously from video one and being in the uk that means watching them at 3 am when you post them lol ;)
These wings must be something else... đ
Next time someone says they don't have enough hours in a day, send them this.
I want to see this take off...while towing the truck backwards.
You know Mike. There is very talented people in this world making beautiful paintings, sculptures and all sorts of things. You are also one of those people because Scrappy is not just a piece of engineering it is a beautiful piece of mechanical art.
Add the object avoidance software from a tesla and a tuned autopilot, and Mike Patey could nap while landing, because Scrappy could power abort at will. He wouldn't sleep land I'm sure, but it would be a fun experiment.
Holy cow that thing has some get up and go!
It looks like a drag car on that runway!
I grew up around airplanes, Dad was a crop duster and had a Super Cub. I have never seen a prop plane move that fast! That was insane. Granted the wings aren't on but I don't think it will make a difference. Lol
@@Bodhi594 all I could think was how insanely fast it will be off the ground.
Brando well not too many beasts running airboat props and racing engines out there đ€Ł
@@Daniel.Palmer183f yeah I wish I had that level of Ingenuity.
Scrappy is the best sounding bush plane ever! I wonder what kind of insane power to weight ratio it will have?
Mmm you forgot DRACO LOL
@@46lfries - in one of the early Scrappy videos Mike predicted that Scappy would have a better thrust to weight ratio than Draco! đ
@@46lfries Itâs impossible to forget Draco, but I love the sound of a big piston engine.
Thankyou for not putting music over that engine đ symphony on its own
That would be blasphemous for sure!!
Jeebus... Scrappy sounds like a top fuel dragster.. that acceleration is nuts what a build Mike stunning
Incredible. MP is the Kelly Johnson of light planes.
100%. Should collab with Elon lol
That things gunna climb like a homesick angel !!!
Probably most likely be able to hover..
Very clever use of PVC to make the exhaust pattern. Wow! Does Scrappy move fast. Give her some Red Bull and get those wings.
Did anyone else notice at the end it showed scrappy hooked up to a chevy pickup then next view/clip it was a Dodge. đ
Mike wow does she sound great. It's got that old school big block thunder and sound from a dig. Music to my ears.
I was just thinking about how i was showing signs of scrappy withdrawals.
Know that you are not suffering through this addiction alone đ
Some guy looking out the window at the airport: "That Patey has lost it finally Maude, he thinks he can fly without wings!"
CZcams comment section: "he can probably fly it without wings!"
I reckon he probably could take off just on those winglets, but jeez he'd struggle to land it again...
@@patheddles4004 landing is easy in a wingless scrappy it is very expensive however. Requiring a new parachute after each landing.
@@thadaagaard6648 OK fair, I can't argue with that.
And hey, still better than having to rebuild the plane every time...
God bless you sir , world needs more people like you guys
Scrappy would look good landing in Cleetus McFarlandâs Freedom Factory! Much love man, love the series!
Not only is the engineering great, but the aesthetic design is incredible. This is what it would look like if KTM designed an airplane.
That sounds amazing!! You are the most inspiring person Iâve ever seen.
What I want for Christmas? Videos on Mike Patey' wings for "SCRAPPY"! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
STOL competition winner right there ! Well done buddy !
Dam Mike that prop looks like boat-oars...
It is off a boat!
Airboat oars.
Of c-oars
With that amount of power, wings become optional...
Haha! Heâd need a tail rotor though. Lol
35 minutes after uploading and there's already nearly 100 comments! I LOVE this build! Thanks for sharing!!!
There is nothing SCRAPPY about this project.
A dream really. Wish I had the firepower to do this to my project.
Neighbors: hey, are you building a dragster? Sounds like it !
Mike : Naaaaa... itâs my new plane. Donât have wings yet. Just took it for a small run...
Will have to land and take off on an aircraft carrier, talk to the Navy about a promotional stunt with Scrappy.
Sideways
Cannot wait to see this thing fly! Loved Draco but this thing feels soo much more exciting and utilitarian!! Amazing build mike!!
the sound, the sound...what a gorgeous piece of engineering art
It would be real sweet if you got a sharpie, and marked the "cold" position of the exhaust swivel tab, and the 'hot' position, and show the delta.
Anyone else thinking âTop Fuel Plane Racingâ?
I wanna see quarter mile times.
YES!!
It'd be even cooler if they could have a couple rings in the sky you had to go through to enforce a certain climb rate.
Scrappy even has a Dragchute ....How cool is that !?!
That is STOL-Drags "All gown up" - 6000 hp 40bar Pure Nitro - would it work?? maybe add a minimum max altitude to the rules to add one small area of complexity (or the height factor can be the "handicap") - ie. say: DRACO2 must achieve 200ft, while Freedom fox3 need only achieve 100ft, (for example) - nothing like leveling the field to bring out the punters..
@@kadmow well there has to be limits because there is only so much stress you can put on an airframe vs a car. Heck TFDâs create thousands of pounds of downforce just to keep the wheels from spinning and even then they do all the way up to 150mph.
I love watching you build Scrappy and the attention to engineering details. I've learned a lot. Thanks Mike.
Thanks for watching!
You have done an amazing job on Scrappy! Love your hanger with the view it has.
Not even full power? That thing is a rocket. Watch out Elon, you've got competition.
Hellooo Oshkosh!
The sound of Scrappy is SICK !!!
As well as the first engine runs I also spied the doors attached!! Looking and sounding amazing!!
If it doesnt take to the air, you can always drag race it.
Is there a class of prop powered Drag racers?? (not forgetting that the prop os off a swamp boat - So like those "sleds", brute force is its reason for being. Will be a day to see the whole lot just as home on floats in the everglades as in the Wilds "back of Valdez".
probably one of the coolest planes ive ever seen
This guy ,men.. overdoing himself every time. That's the fucking spirit. Great job
Canât get enough of Mikeâs attitude and the Scrappy build!!!đđșđž
All the homebuilds Ive studdied, engine outs cracked exhaust. And tracking problems that need to be adjusted. Those are some obstacles that happen your settin a precedent
You must drink Dos XX because youâre the most interesting man in the world.
Mike both you and that plane are just BAD ASS! Big love from down under.
All I want for Christmas is the next Scrappy video
