Never said that Scrappy was Normal 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Scrappy Bush Plane 3)

Video 4
We are making progress on scrappy. This episode I show how I modified my frame to allow me to mount a 780 cubic inch Lycoming engine to a Carbon Cub. I’m also going to need a way to use all of that power...

Check out some of my Favorite Aviation Companies:

Best Tugs

Pratt & Whitney 

Worlds Greatest Zip Tie!

Turbine Service

This is some of THE BEST content on YouTube, Scrappy is going to be NUTS! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

I love the absolute obnoxiousness of your projects. As an engineering student, this is wonderful.

[CyberSystemOverload]

This man is seriously Next Level Grand Master. Not only does he build his own plane he also designs and fabricates his own parts. Displaying a multitude of skills from CAD to fabrication to flying. I could watch these all day!

[Firedog]

This guy takes “watch this” to a whole new level.

[JGunit]

Love seeing someone who dosen't get frustrated over problems. Actually finds joy in solving them.

This should be a college course. The information is unreal, but its put in layman's term so we can understand it. Better than 90% of college teachers.

[conga]

You know what I like the most about this guy? He's so gifted, so innovative, and so humble, that he shares his homemade solutions with the public without reservation. Really like and respect this man....a true genius!!

[urseldoran]

Painful to make us all know we are under achievers by watching a card carrying GENIUS at work!! Keep Rocking on Sir!!

[steverichardson]

You are great at explaining. The mind of an engineer, The skills of a teacher, The soul of an aviator.

[cayrick]

I have never, never, never seen a man with so much energy and enthusiasm. I get tired just watching you.

I am a CNC machinist/programmer and was a Top Fuel/Funny Car crew member for 10 years and this channel is my new drug of choice. Love the horsepower, fabrication, and general mad scientist shenanigans! Keep up the awesome work and I can't wait to see Scrappy take shape.

I giggled like a little kid when that airboat took off.

The world needs more Mike Patey. So much fun to watch you work

[Gkuljian]

One of the few channels with substantial substance going on. Doing what I dream of doing.

[leamont]

Mike I honestly believe you are currently the most inspirational person in aviation. Your videos suck me in and make me want to invest even more of my time learning the in depth engineering and aerodynamic theories involved in creating such amazing airplanes. Can’t wait to see what other ingenious ideas you come up with next

[mattspriggs]

Man would I love to introduce you to my 'ol man. He's almost 70 with stage 4 prostate cancer but you inspire him so much that the look in his eyes when he talks about you and your brother warms the 'cockles of my heart's. Keep doin what you do. Cheers

Mike, I have been binge watching ALL of your videos since I discovered your "Draco" videos. After watching the entire build sequence, I feel like I helped build him because you are SO THOROUGH in your build videos. From the bottom of my heart, "I am so sorry that infamous day happened!!" BUT, I am just the same, SO GLAD that nobody was hurt. That was a TRUE MIRACLE!!! My question to you is this, After you built such a capable, famous, BEAUTIFUL STOL plane, why haven't you put him back together again so you can enjoy the "Air Shows, Charity Events, Etc, etc, " that you love doing so much. With what I have seen with your skills and abilities, it wouldn't take long to get him back in the air. The AVIATION WORLD loves and needs Draco!!!

[jbuchkoop]

So sorry to hear about draco man! Glad you walked away ok, but a sad day for aviation.

[PhilJonesIII]

If we could get our kids to half this level of passion and enthusiasm, the world would be better inside a generation. Thanks for being who you are Mike.
