Introduction to Mike Patey

Hey Guys! You’ve been doing a great job sharing my stuff - I have a bunch of new subscribers! This video will all be familiar info to those of you that have been here for a while - but wanted to add a short channel trailer for all the new viewers. Spring is heating things up, and I’ve got more new videos dropping soon!

Could you imagine just getting to spend a week with him, I think you'd learn more about math, engineering, physics, manufacturing and business in that 1 week than you would during the entirety of school and college combined.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I wanna be a Mike Patey.

[sledawgpilot]

this so beats reality TV. Lately I've been trying to add positivity to my life and you and Mark, s videos are part of it. Love your attitude and energy!

[DakotaWoodHD]

You sir are my Idol. I'm going to school for Aerospace Engineering, watching your videos gives me that boost to sit back down and get that extra hour of studying in. I hope to create some bad ass stuff like you do some day!

[FliteTest]

This channel is very important to aviation as a whole:) Keep pushin it Mike!

[chaselarsen]

The world needs more “influencers” like this guy. We have enough fashion, lifestyle, and fitness gurus. Way to go Mike! Thanks for sharing your passion. It’s fun to watch. You’re an inspiring dude.

Man, even your signature is cool! There is a lot of video in this trailer from your previous builds that I don't think has been posted. I would love to see any and all footage from projects past, present, and future. I know the editing takes time but I'm sure I'm not the only Pateyholic.

[Slugg-O]

Your enthusiasm is infectious! I'm not a pilot but I enjoy the hell out of your videos. The engineering you put into your creations is awesome!

Mike, you're an inspiration to all of us. Through your channel, we see how wonderful life can be when you're doing what you love to do! Your series of videos have given us so much vital information about aircraft design and integrity... far more than I could have learned anywhere else! Thanks for sharing your love of building planes and going fast! Kudos!!

Mike, I love how you are pushing aviation to the Max and taking so many with you, and allowing us to watch along the way. I'm a 53-year-old disabled veteran with 18-years Army Service (which means I'm dirt poor and will never own a paramotor much less a nice aircraft (heck not even an ok truck lol) but aviation has always been an important part of my life. heck, Jan 1st this year I was working to put together an aviation search and rescue aircraft, and technology (sensors) to locate missing children and lost hikers lost in the woods. It was an idea worth doing (just not on Army disability Pay). Idea Shelved... Typical for me, I see things and think (why are you not doing it this way?, or a slight change here and you can increase performance. or the common "what were they thinking?" lol.

I have always been able to see a point of view that's different. (and not always right, or wrong) but to go forward you must always ask the questions. when you stop asking them you stop moving forward. It's great to see a flying community (flying cowboys, Patey's, etc) stop and make positive aviation advances for all (and busting a few records that are in the way? heck, why not. I knew I would have.

what's funny is I own land in Nothern NV yet stranded in Wisconsin. drives me nuts, but hey... your lucky because I could be pestering you with ideas..  lol

One other comment. I love videography (Pre-production, production and post-production editing, especially when it relates to social media (typically for products), and your videos are very good and getting better all the time (which expands your online presence and helps us the viewers share your message.) but if your ever looking for an additional videographer... hint roflol. but honestly, I commend you for what you are doing, and hope you can continue pushing aviation you have a lot of support on the other side of the monitor. Best of luck to you.

As a small business owner/ investor and southern California firefighter I have to say Sir, your and inspiration to be better at life. You are in so many ways what every guy wants to be. Thank you for sharing and spreading your positive hardworking outlook on everything you do.

[fuzzgutterwins]

It makes me happy to realize real heroes still exist.

[RTOutdoors]

Yep. You’re certainly an aviation celebrity these days. Well earned!

[mrtsparks]

I wish I had 1% of your talent. Everything you do and build just amazes me. Thanks to you and Trent I'm obsessed with watching your flying videos. Keep up the awesome work.

[williammccoll]

I am so glad you are doing another build series, warms my heart and sparks adventure in my soul.

[alextaylor]

Mike, every aviator that comes after you will look at your attitude and creativity with admiration. Aviation is in desperate need of selfless innovation, changing the way we fly for the betterment of everyone not just industry. We’ll cross paths someday but until then I hope this encourages you to keep pioneering. Keep setting an example for the next generation, because we’re closing fast on an aeronautical revolution largely thanks to people like you. Cheers.

[glenn.duffind]

Thanks for taking us along for the build... and the ride!. Flying is Fun!

[TheGulang]

Awesome video Mr. Patey! When I’m not able to fly I always look at you videos and it’s the same feeling! Don’t stop doing

I love it! Cory Robin's tagline - "Let's Go Flying!" Mike Patey's tagline - "Let's Go Build Something Really Cool!"
