Waiting on Mike to build a carbon oblique wing on a bush plane.

If you can break 499kt, then you’ll be the fastest turboprop ever built, outpacing even the Tu-95 Bear.

Thank you Mike and Mark for promoting GA aviation and airports. As a veteran of many, many airport fights (Reid Hillview, Fremont, Watsonville, in California and Brunswick Ohio and now looks like Burke Lakefront in Cleveland, please consider iron clad contracts to keep the airport intact, to not have developments encroach on the approaches, be wary of curfews, sound abatement schemes and lawfare to kill off GA. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PROJECT.

Safe, but oened

What engine is that?

You are one hell of a good engineer and pilot. My dad worked for Kelly Johnson from about 1936 in flight test. There is a way to do it and there are ways to have tragedy. Even when all the care that is possible is taken things happen. You just never know.

You totally have to paint those propane tanks like lego people heads 😎

So you guys have both had near-death experiences ad now you've decided you will now focus on aviation!? Quelle surprise! Did these experiences not cause either of you to reflect on what happens to you after death or what happens to you when you die?! Don't get me wrong, I love your aviation videos but perhaps there's more to life than aviation?

Hey Mike, you are amazing 🤩. I really love this. Please, can I get the architectural plans, or the overall design of this building? Thank you.

I thought I saw a video in my feed the other day that was titled something about scuba diving in the pool. Did that get taken down or am I just going crazy?

I'm in Australia. We don't design for ice, except in about 0.5% of the country, & that's probably a high guess.

Mike has to be the best engineer out there & I'm not even sure he did a degree. If he did it was at the School of Hard Knocks. He knows Everything that Will, Could, or Potentially Might happen to Anything, and builds it so that It Won't.

Finally started going to college, for a degree in engineering. Mike Patey’s Videos where the inspiration to start chasing the dreams I’ve always had. Even if I end up working on Elevator’s and not designing for a career, Engineering is where it’s at.

So great! Thx! Inspiring!

I cheered so hard

Mike, the US Navy could use your engineering skills - to build subs! Wow!

wow, so boring!! dropping off electric toys...yawn! yawn!

human makes deep pool, human jumps in the pool. human happy

Dont forget that’s the 5th level 😮

This house is insane

Mike, your newest video about scuba diving in your new pool was removed from KZfaq. Please post it again.

What happened to the scuba video from today! came to watch it after work and poof! it's gone!????

There are some really expensive houses that people are building these days, but contractors build them, and you don't always know the quality of the construction, plus you're paying for all that labor. It's really interesting to me, and probably a whole lot of others, that Mike has been involved in this build from the very start, was an integral part in the design and planning, and he knows the quality of each part of the build since he has been involved in it, and has done a lot of the work himself, with family helping, that saves on a ton of labor. I'm sure Homes and Gardens, or some other publication similar to that would love to get a tour, and do an article on this and Mike/family, once this dream build is completed.

I love the internet 😂 saw cleet doing a 24ft cold plunge on ig so i typed in 24ft pool on yt and this video came up. definitely the same house and pool.

How much money does it cost to,clean it??!& RE fill the pool?!

Hi both. I'm a PPL holder but last year had an unexpecterd open heart surgery. Currently grounded on a medical basis but it's a good news story and I've just the treadmill test to do that will see if I can get medically approved again. It did however refocus my mind on things. In terms of what to do about aviation, I spent some time thinking about this and whilst I don't know all the detail, I got to thinking about an investment fund. The fund would invest in 1. people (aircrew, controller, mechanical and design scholarships - wherever there is inequality or underinvestment having priority), 2. Aviation businesses, 3. Aviation start-up venture capital (drones, electric and urban air transportation), 4. Training and teaching hubs and perhaps supporting aviation heritage. All profits from the fund (Dividends, Salary contribution re-payment from fund traind people - they should make a contribution on employment through salary sacrifice to the fund of a nominal contribution) would be re-invested. The ethos of the fund would be for the betterment of aviation. Perhaps sponsorship and crowdfund to get off the ground. This would be a major undertaking but you did ask!

You should add a concrete sliding cover for that "water reserve".... You will definitely need it!

Bro knows how to work ! Huge home too

❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 the little red plane is Drop Dead Gorgeous I would love one back to work

This is care less landing and take of at same time there probably smarter now and more to loss

Looks neat. Question, ever thought of a P63 engine position for a project like this?

It’s very simple. To revive and guarantee GA, it needs to be made more like automotive. Get rid of the silly medical system. Get rid of the silly certificated system. There is absolutely no reason we should be forced to fly 70 year old airplanes with engine technology from the dark ages that cost as much as a house. How is that really safer? It is not. Meanwhile the FAA forces most folks away from flying before they even begin due to the silly medical requirements. If you are just flying for fun and not for paying passengers then there is absolutely no reason a medical should be anymore difficult or complicated than a drivers license. If you want to take paying passengers then sure, require whatever you want. In my opinion, these are the biggest thing holding back GA. Sadly, they are political hurdles, not engineering hurdles. Appreciate you guys trying to tackle these issues.

No shit Patey!!! Why don't you strap on a GE 95 Turbo fan to that plane!!!!

Really get back to plane videos please done with the rich guy home

I would like to thank Halverson for that wonderful act that he did during world war II and has continued to do so my hat's off to his family for continuing his remembering the day that he dropped all that candy thank you very much and I will always remember his kindness his love toward his fellow man thank you Gail Halverson for listening to the Lord when he spoke to you on that day about that candy you had in your pocket that was God almighty talking to you thank you

Clicked to see a fast plane - got to see a bald dude talk for 17 mins sitting on a stool

Were you able to dump fuel?

this house has so much system redundancy... like it was designed by an airplane designer. 😄

Glad you are safe. As a former military aviator in South Africa that experienced hydraulic failure in a Harvard (T6-Texan) and needed to do a hot re-light after a Impala Mk1 (Aermacchi MB-326) engine flamed out due to icing, I know how scary it can be but luckily our training saved us.

Can the military use planes like this anymore? Or is it still way too slow..?

Did you mate the PGB Yourself, did you do a HP turbine disk installation on wing. You are very correct into Pilots stressing the engines in Hot Starting. I as a mechanic PT6 a pilot came up with the same catastrophic failure, Beec18, I'm glad you are good and very situational awareness into emergency procedures specially with an experimental bird, Good Luck in the future and I would recommend an FDR Until very very set...🙂👍

Awesome work Mike just was wondering on the dirt bike tire why you couldn’t use a zip tie through the spokes to the fork to keep it from spinning if you were worried about it but like you said it really don’t need it

🇦🇺🙂

What does it mean when they say the motor was hot started?

E bikes fixed to each wing!

It needs a GE T408 turboprop turbine, with a giant 4 bladed prop with 6-8ft long blades to handle the 7500 h.p.with weight of only 1100 pounds

YEARS later and still no updates on poor Draco 👎👎

Only if Americans really wanted to serve humanity, they would have done wonders. American people have so much talent, skills & everything it takes to make a difference. The only wrong thing is that they too are misguided & misled like everyone else in the world.

My job was to flush out fire hydrants so I'm please to see you actually took note of the details

Mike, everything you touch, you mentality take it apart analyze and rebuild with a reason and purpose, you can have a aircraft building symposium for the young wanting to follow, ROCK ON.
