HOLY MOLY WHAT THE EFFFFFFFF that thing is insanity. Must be a Polish airplane, oh wait! IT IS!! lol. WITH A CANADIAN ENGINE! EPPIIIIIICCCCC. I flew one Wilga 2000 when I was 17, just for a brief moment to feel what it's like to fly the tow plane that I always admired 200ft behind on a tow rope in a glider. A beautiful bird, made of Canadian and Polish parts married together with an American touch. Love it!

Draco: A too short, but very interesting, life!

Few things are as awesome as beta on a turboprop. Oh man Mike's got a cool plane. I love how it hunches down before takeoff like a cat ready to pounce or something!

If you don’t do something at least once a week that makes you giggle like a kid and stand in awe of something (like Draco) then you’re doing life wrong. Staying connected with that part of your heart is part of truly being a man. Enjoy every second of this dude, I’ll see ya next week!

That Wilga is about the sickest thing I have ever seen. What an absolute BEAST.

Holy crap. This video had so much packed into 11:37 minutes I need to watch it again. From Hey look, a sandbar that's never been landed on, lets fix that... to the most badass bush plane ever conceived, backing up and taking off and landing on a patch of grass the size of a (small) golf course green no less... Thanks for doing this...

Wow, mike has one cool plane, loved all the video thanks for sharing.

This whole series is absolutely amazing. I can't wait for tomorrow!!!!

Absolutely love these daily updates! Glad you are doing them even though it is a pain to keep up with. Thanks again. DRACO is an absolute awesome BEAST!

The Draco guy just needs to install a dozen locomotive horns on the wings and have fireworks shooting out of the wingtips, and he'll be set.

Way cool man! I've never seen these before, and was excited watching this and the other vid of 'Draco'. I'm used to seeing builds on cars, trucks and bikes, but didn't even know I was missing out on the thrill of these, and my storage yard is literally less than 200 ft from Nellis AFB! Keep it up and I'll keep watching! Thanx

I really enjoy your videos man. Makes me want to learn to fly. Also makes me want to buy a kitfox lol

What fun! I know it takes sooo much to put these out every day, but I have been thoroughly enjoying each and every one of them. Also, Draco is INSANE!

YAHOO! Beautiful Job Mike. What a work of art :). Thanks Trent for the magnificent adventures you take and for showing us all. I wouldn't of found out about mikes rebuild if it wasn't for you . Keep Flying and keep posting. :D

Trent we are delighted to share your wonderful adventure to Oshkosh,already you have entertained us with some beautiful sand bar footage and now this super Wilga with helicopter like performance ! thank you for allowing us mere mortals the joy of flying low and slow with you,more power to your STOL machines that you put down almost anywhere,loving every minute of your trip.

WoW great video Trent. I especially like watching him backing up the DRACO, that was so cool. No wonder he has a back-up camera.

Is it possible for someone to have to much fun? Draco, it said it all in one word! Crazy! Just watched Tucker fly under the bridge.

Wow that's a really good looking plane. Great vid.

That thing was GREAT! What a sound from that prop with all that power. Would love to ride in that!! Took off like a rocket! Cool seeing Tucker over here too - I've got to go and watch his latest upload now ... :) Great vids!! 👍👍

That’s the coolest aircraft I think I’ve ever seen. Incredible build! Love the pt-6!

I'm envious , you guys are truly living large. Have fun be safe.

Thanks for putting in the working so we can come along on your journey.

DAMN SO COOL! This trip vlog is like aviation/flying candy... Thanks for the show.

Sick, sick, sick! That Wilga!!! Thanks for showing us this.

Trent thanks for the work on sharing! Great work.

I just started watching your videos as I heard your name mentioned by P1D. I cant fly due to eye problems but my passion is aviation ever since I can remember as a little bot. My father worked for United Air Lines so I flew a lot as a passenger. When I was in Alaska last summer I saw many bush planes and sadly saw one go down in Anchorage. I think you pilots are a very special breed of human beings. Truly an elite group of amazing individuals, you have my utmost respect and admiration. So I live vicariously through all of you by sitting in front of my computer watching video after video. Those planes taking off and landing in a couple hundred feet is amazing. Thats what Bush is all about right. Gotta get into those hard to get into places but you guys do it with such class and style.

Trent great videos that many of us sincerely appreciate. Have fun stay safe and keep it coming. I am on the adventure through your camera lens!

Trent your the man, thanks so much for the awesome video I know it's hard work but you don't know how much we all appreciate what your doing, this is only the third time I've missed Oshkosh so this is almost as good as going. The flying there is the best part then a party for a week. I can't say thanks enough I'm 65 and every time I go to the airport the smell of avgas the sight of a plane I haven't seen before makes me feel like a kid all over again.

High speed, low drag is cool; low speed, high lift is amazing! Thanks for the video.

Watching your videos of the flight to OSH is a painful reminder for me of a life of too much work and not enough play. I’ve gotten a late start but looking forward to seeing you on a sandbar soon! See you at OSH. Live the life you love!

This series is awesome. I know it's a pain, but thanks for doing it for us. I was just heading out the door to Oshkosh and had to go back inside to watch this when I got the notification.

Trent, I want to thank you for putting up these videos. I've always been in love with flying, I've been flying on and off since 2006 "trying" to get my pilots license but I've just been letting other things get in the way. Stumbling across your videos with Ty and all the other guys just finally pushed me over the edge and I've decided to go and finally work towards getting my license. I had a bias toward LSA/Bushplanes but your channel helped make me realize what I love, and that's going low and slow. I hope this finds you well, and I hope you guys enjoy Oshkosh. That Wilga is SOMETHING ELSE!

What an awesome crew you guys have!

Landing on the Wisconsin River sandbar !!!!!!!!! That had to be so much fun !!!!!!!!

wtf, is DRACO part helicopter... amazing! Thumbs up seeing Tucker here. Great sand bar video too. Trent, you sure can bring it!

Just saw the airplane at Oshkosh unbelievable makes the trip worthwhile thanks for building it

That Draco is INSANE! I watched a couple of his build videos and was very impressed with how he made it so light. And what a beautiful plane too!

Just started my day off with a Bang! Thanks for taking the time to knock out the vids. They are doing a fine job of bringing us along for the ride. Enjoy the Baraboo/Dells airport. That is where the Cirrus factory was originally and it's where my Tailwind was built by Jim Clement. Baraboo has a bunch of very talented airplane people that are a LOT of fun to mix it up with. Have a Good Time!

Congratulations Mike Patey Seriously you are one those inspirational persons that only comes by once in a 💯 years,I have been following your build and sincerely when I saw that landing I felt happy and thrilled.

Great job Trent keep it up thanks for bringing the rest of us along on your epic trip...PT6 on the Freedomfox??

This is so much fun to watch! And hey, I saw all of you on the approach to Fisk this afternoon! Really cool you made it and had so much fun along the way. 😃👍🏻

This is my kind of flying, bunch of friends, flying low and slow, Love It!, Thank you for bringing us along.

Keep it up! Great to see some fun flying and to finally see Draco in the air!

SWEET! I am not just awe struck . . . I think I'm "in love" with that incredible aircraft!! The Draco just blows my mind (can't go wrong with a PWC PT6A). Enjoy this series of videos and your adventure to Air Venture. Thank you very much for sharing, and much thanks to Mike for the DRACO!

These are some excellent videos...thanks for showing.

Thanks for taking the time to do these vids. Nice side slip into that sand bar

So awesome! I've loved keeping up with your series. Can't wait to see you guys kill it at the STOL demo!

Just amazing! Great flying and great vids! Ty for sharing!

Another great vlog. The Draco Bush Plane is awesome w/the killer landing lights & being able to land @ a short distance . The rock the ramp party looked like fun .

Absolutely brilliant video.👌👍 even the music that accompanied the flying I thought was excellent so great taste in music to who ever chose the music👌👍 and that Draco!... wow!!!.... what an aircraft and a show stopper!👌👍

Congratulations Mike Patey! Mike your enthusiasm and engineering skills are unlike anyone else I've seen. Thoroughly enjoyed the Draco build series!!! Thank you Trent Palmer for posting this video. I'm an hour flight away from KSPK, hope to fly the Fox over there and see it when Mike is back from OSH. It would be fun to fly Kitfox's with you Trent Palmer someday.

One of my favorites of yours! The raw fun that you are having permeates through this video. Makes me want to get my tailwheel endorsement and learn to land on a random sandbar. Keep em coming!

Thanks for doing the videos Trent, love the channel and wish I was there... Draco is one mean aircraft, cant wait to see more

Love these updates. I enjoyed watching Mike's videos on building DRACO. too cool.

Loved the scenery over the windmills and my 10 y.o. daughter loved seeing the crossing of the Mississippi.

Oh my Oh my!!. What a landing by Draco. That's a beast Trent.

Fun and cool series Trent, really enjoying the candid footage...

love the whole series of vlogs. draco is a beast love to see it in person one of these days, thanks for what you do hope you have blue skys and tail winds the rest of the trip.

Nice video. About 3 hours before you got to Middleton I was there taking my son on a Discovery Flight as he takes his first steps towards becoming a pilot.

Wow! This is... flydom... real flying with pure freedom... I wish! Thanks fr sharing.

Thanks Trent. I am loving the footage. This 65 yr old is grinning like a teenager waiting for each update. The KitFox is "representing"! And DRACO !!!

I am a total novice at aircraft but simply love the utilitarianism of the big tire craft. Love it.

Absolutely fantastic aviation video of the year thus far !!!!!!!!!!! This should be submitted to a film/video festival.

Loving these videos. Getting super pumped for Oshkosh.

Great to see Draco flying - thanks!

DRACO is a rock star. The only thing cooler is the pilot Mike.Seems like a great guy.

OMG! Epic video! That PT6 is sick. Loved it! Thanks for sharing.

That Wilga is going to be a show stopper #kosh18

Draco is a BEAST! Love how the gear squats while holding her back. Did anyone else see the tail start to come up just from the prop wash🤩

Thank you Trent! Thanks for taking the time to film your adventures and thank you for the great job of editing them; especially the excellent audio and background music!! First rate!! As a pilot from Houston, I'm enjoying all things Trent!! Keep going sir!!

Mike and i hangar at the same airport and it’s been really cool watching the transformation of this plane and it’s a fun show when he is up and going around the pattern!

Makes me vary happy to see all you guys haveing such a great time, but remember to be safe thou.........

Got to see Draco and all you guys at Oshkosh it was pretty amazing!

Great series! :) Really enjoying following the trip, thanks for your hard work recording and editing this.

I watch a lot of Scott Palmers wingsuit videos, so cool seeing him stoked about the draco entrance!

Hi Trent really enjoy the filmaking maturity you bring to you vlogs, really enjoy the work and the helicopter footage of your plane...sublime👍

I'm not really an airplane enthusiast but after watching the video on the Draco specs and this one of it flying I have to admit I'm incredibly impressed with the build and capabilities of this thing. It is THE hotrod of bush planes. If I flew this would be on my wish list for sure!

That is one one hell of a plane, what a beauty...

Very cool Trent, for somebody who would give an arm to get to Oshkosh one day, this is just brilliant so thanks for the time and effort you put in to this. And that DRACO is INSANE! Love Mike's dedication and enthusiasm!

loving that aeroplane wonderful modifications loving the fact that it can almost hover

That Draco is a beast!! What a sound on engine start! 😮. Another great upload.

Unbelievable trip so far! Thanks so much for filming and posting daily! Feel like I’m going myself. Your editing is awesome as well

I’m loving this series, thank you for doing it. That is the coolest plane I have ever seen and I showed my dad and he thought it was amazing. I love your kit fox.

Enjoyed it. Hope to attend Oshkosh soon. Fly safe.

What a fun adventure. I’m jealous. You do the best vlog of anybody on the Tube. Look forward to them all. Have fun be safe.

Damn, when you guys head out this a.m. and how did I miss this? I am literally a mile away from C29, ran over at 6 this morning and pretty quiet. Outstanding work on documenting this journey! Would've loved to seen the looks on canoer's when you guys touched down on the bar.

mike seems to be the most chill guy in the world love his attitude..great plane... excellent videos Trent...

Terrific video & series - thanks for sharing and super landing Trent !!!!

Great work Trent so glad Mike made it what a awesome person as are all of you hands down the best keep it up.

That DRACO is stunning!!! I am so impressed..

That Draco! Wow! You guys are having a ball!

To watch your videos is a real joy can’t wait for the Oshkosh series. Draco is one hell of a machine should be a show stopper at the air show.

I could watch Draco for hours. And the reaction when it backs up! The build series was great. Love your channel, man. Thanks. More Draco please!

I have done some hangar stacking back in the day during typhoons. Those we could not get into the hangars took off to find shelter elsewhere. :D

I started on your channel with you going over mikes plane at Oshkosh and then went over your channel and subbed, nice work Trent and thats coming for a youtube junky. I then went over to Mikes channel and went over the Draco build, Dam Mikes a bloody legend so i had to sub to him too! I cant wait to see your house build, hanger and runway set up bud!

Dude those shades are awesome!!!! You guys rock!!!!

The best way to fly low and slow and enjoy the flight. Land wherever you can, just need 150 meter stretch. Fantastic video.

Before watching this, I went to Mikes and watched the entire Draco build series. Seeing it behaving like this, the name is very well chosen. Unbelievable. I’m overjoyed right now and somehow need to see it live in action.

Thanks Trent! Love watching.

Damn you for introducing me to Draco, I've now procrastinated most of my day watching Mike's amazing series on the modifications. Absolutely amazing plane and Mike is such a great guy to follow. I've just recently found your channel and am loving your videos, keep up the great work
