I put some of the final parts of the cowling together and get it ready for paint, we are so close!! It is amazing to see such a big race engine hidden by this cowling...we're really creating a sleeper...but who WON'T recognize Scrappy!? 😂🤠 Check out how I did my oil funnel and how strong my oil door is.

Scrappy is an invaluable airplane. I hope one day when you’re tired of flying it that it ends up in an aviation museum. There’s not another plane out there with so much engenuity, attention to detail, excellent craftsmanship, and premium quality materials. You couldn’t even put a price tag on that plane.

I think you don't see designing like this because of a fundamental culture difference in engineering. Even in development practice, everything is rigidly controlled. Companies seem to care about reducing development waste rather than allowing more iterative design and innovation which inherently has more risk of failure. Also, I feel there is often a big disconnect between experienced consumers and design direction. Especially with valuing experienced enthusiasts opinion over the general market.

@scottwatson5767 3 жыл бұрын

@@ChargedTTq Very true which is why it is important for some of these engineers to intern in the actual field before being put behind the drafting table or design computer. Get the hands on aspect and see just what its gonna take to install, repair , or replace anything they design!

@daveachuk 3 жыл бұрын

A huge part of engineering is cost control -- optimizing for efficiency of materials and labor. What makes this plane amazing is the absurd amount of time spent on it. This plane as built would have zero commercial success because it'd be 10x the cost of the competitors, in an already small market. Doesn't make it any less awesome, just that expecting anything like this out of a typical company -- which depends on making money to exist -- would never happen.

Nice to see Scrappy actually lending a hand rather than sitting around waiting for the pizza to arrive. You're like a chest master. Your thinking seems to be 4-5 moves ahead of the work you're doing and forecasting any possible issues that may arise. It there a reason why you made the cowling door at such a slight angle to the air flow rather than just opening forward? Contours maybe? Those intake inlets look like flaring nostrils of a race horse.

I watch every Scrappy video the instant I see the notification, and one thing has struck me every time. A lot of the attention on Mike focuses on his incredible passion for aviation and building, the energy and enthusiasm, and the resources that enable him to build such crazy machines. But aside from that: what a craftsman! I think that’s probably what’s most impressive to me as someone who works on cars and airplanes. These are not skills you pick up in a day, and Mike isn’t even 50! Huge respect Mr Patey, you’re an inspiration to us all.

Yes. His work is as good as it gets. His concepts are as well thought-out as it gets. Sure, he is accelerated enormously by help and money and the need for six fewer hours of sleep PER NIGHT. But a normal mind still couldn't muster that degree of care to refine the concept, nor to persist. His patience and intelligence are equally remarkable.

Still... 😳 You still surprise me, even after the ton of cool stuff you already built. Very. Well. Done! 🤙🏻

A 28 minute video, and still seems like it went by super fast. As much as I love Draco this is the greatest bush plane ever built. Can’t wait to see the next video when it’s painted, and taxiing around. Then hopefully the elusive wings!

I know this is not one of the "what can we do to further aviation" videos but I have an idea I hope you see. Many flight fans just will never be able to fly but have access to flight simulators. I would think it would be a great idea to have an official Mike Patey aircraft pack. Turbulence, Draco and Scrappy ect... This would give many people the chance to fly in one of them as well as it might inspire more people to go from the sim to real world flight.
