People can speak and act in a day that it appears they are good at what they do. However a physical model that represents that person's work is what proves that person's talents. Planes aren't my passion and I can see this project is such a massive hand made undertaking and it looks factory product that rivals a F1 car. Great Work. One day there will be a carbon fiber statue of you somewhere

I'm glad to see you back on KZbin again.

[@nixer8984]

Mike personifies American ingenuity, hard work (x2) and family. His lifelong love of problem solving and aviation WILL leave a mark on American, and worldwide, aviation. Thanks for taking us along for the ride Mike Patey. Now go take your wife shopping and out to a nice dinner.

[@gunw58]

A friend saw this video and said: "Of course he has money. He can do everything he wants!" I said; "Nope!!! You need to be smart, talented and hard working person to be success like Mike Patey!" The fact there are bunch of rich kids who doesn't know how to cook a bowl of instant noodle to eat. I love to see what you are doing, Mike. Although you are so busy with your business. Still you have a warm heart to share knowledge about your love in aviation. Greetings from Malaysia.🙏♥

[@randallharmsen5802]

Your love for family and Aviation is top notch. Your approach to finding a great way for clean water for third world countries shows the humanitarian side of you Mike. May you succeed in that quest for millions of needy people.

[@yzaw4411]

Get the Canadian government to help you financially for the help of clean water for northern native settlements and seeing the results not in a third world but on the North American continent. If you require contacts I might be able to give you a few names and addresses.

[@micsierra806]

I appreciate these videos because you take the time to explain how you think about things (risks associated with flight testing). I don't need to know what to think, I need to know how to think and I very much appreciate learning how a world class engineer thinks about things. These videos are treasure. The shiny stuff is cool (the badass plane) but I value the thought process and problem solving. Thanks sir.

[@willhibbardii2450]

Working with design function carbon fiber wingtips and wingtip extensions are fun parts of prototype plug creation I like spending time with. Gleaning real-time performance data with them is a journey in themselves. Mike, I'm looking forward to your findings and the engineering compromises you choose for applications related to Scrappy's journey. I love spending time with your channel.

[@deancicchelli3243]

Wow, we really missed you. Glad all is good. Has been a pleasure following you on this build. Always look forward to the next video. Blessings to you and family. Fly High my friend.

[@jcw011100]

How cool! The fairing covering the wing to fuselage gap on the top of the wing reminds me of the "Gullwing" Stinson. Interestingly, my exposure to that airplane was as a 16 year old pumping gas and washing airplanes in Southern California in the 1968-72 years. My boss had taught James Arness (Marshall Dillon of Gunsmoke) how to fly. At one point he purchased a Stinson Reliant with a P&W R-985 (I guess it was maybe the SR-10F Reliant or perhaps a modified plane). The conjunction with Mike's desire to spend time with family and friends getting Scrappy "in the dirt" was James Arness' primary purpose for the Stinson. His son Rolf was a world class surfer. He and Rolf would load up the plane with camping gear and surfboards and fly down to the Pacific side of Baja California. When they found the right combination of surf and suitable beach to land on, they would land and spend days there. Rolf would surf and James would do some surf-fishing. James was a very nice man. I have no doubt he would be looking Mike up were he still alive today!

[@robertlafnear4865]

It's funny because I JUST visited this channel yesterday because I hadn't seen a video in a long while. I thought KZbin might have unsubscribed me or that I missed one. When I saw I hadn't, I checked comments on the last video and saw I wasn't the only one missing your content. I figured you guys were busy or had private issues to deal with. Glad everything is okay and ALWAYS look forward to everything you post. God Bless you and your family Mike!

[@king-o-vetts9899]

WOW, I figured that since you made it to Oshkosh without the final videos that it took an incredible effort to make it on time. Thank you for catching us up. I have to admit that I haven’t missed a single day checking for a new video. So, Scrappy was fully digitized. I am hoping (betting) that the file makes it to Horizon Hobby.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

I couldn't imagine what a foamie would be able to do with double slats and flaps on flaps, but on the other hand, I doubt those particular features with their complicated mechanisms would make it into final production. It's not like most RC planes could even utilize those features, since so many of them fly so slow as it is, and many can transfer enough lift from the thrust of the prop when the wings start giving out to keep flying.

[@king-o-vetts9899]

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper I have several large foamies and what I would like to see is a leading edge that represents the slats in the up position but include the flaperon function. Just for fun I like to imagine Draco (the full scale version) with the double-slatted wing. I’ll bet it happens.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

@@king-o-vetts9899 Oh, flaperons are easy to program in your radio if you have an extra channel to spare on your receiver for independent ailerons, though I don't really recommend it. Just mix the aileron and flap channels, play around with the mix and limits until you get it where you want it. I do it all the time with mine, but I do the opposite, (sometimes called a crow's foot). The ailerons travel upward when the flaps go down to give it additional stability and tip-stall resistance at slow speed. I tried the flaperons once with a AT-502 foamie, since I wanted it to be more scale like my actual 502, but it got so hard to control at slow speed even with gyro stabilization that I had to maintain a higher speed to keep it stable on the roll and yaw axis, if I got it just a little bit too slow the plane would tuck a wing under and dive to the ground...not a good trait if there's any wind at all present. So really, I was able to fly slower without flaperons just because I didn't have to fight a wobbly and unpredictably suicidal plane. Some features just don't scale down to RC size in quite the same way, because flaperons are great on my 502 but absolute trash for an RC 502.

[@P-J-W-777]

I had a feeling that Scrappy didn’t have wing tips because you were going to be doing further testing on the ground and in the air similar to the way you did with Draco. The world has spots cars, super cars and hyper cars. Now the world has a “Hyper Carbon Cub” Scrappy looks amazing and you’ve done a wonderful job building a Hyper Cub. I’m betting there will be a 1/4 scale remote control version of Scrappy in the near future as well. God Bless
