This man right here is what living to 1000% is like. Its deff not for everyone, but for those who have the drive deserve every bit of luxury, wealth and happiness. Oh and stress. :)

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.🙏♥

amen

[@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.

[@ednesbit2988]

Mike patey you rock brother such an inspiration to me I've explained before I lost my leg saving a girls life on the side of the road and had issues getting my pilots license because all planes have toe brakes but I found the remos gx that I can fly the school went out of business from covid so you can see how you inspire me and your wife is such a blessing she responded to my post on one of your scrappy builds videos the world needs more people like you two god bless you and all your family members thank you brother!!!!!

Great update. Thanks for sharing whatever time you have available. We can be patient, we don’t like it but we will be patient. Amazing project.

[@64maxpower]

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

Working with design function carbon fiber wingtips and wingtip extensions are fun parts of prototype plug creation I like spending time with.

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.

After seeing how many things you have got going, you should run for President. I would vote for you and I live in the UK!!

[@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.

[@chancelange]

(+ 1) on that one!

[@OneCupOfCoffee204]

This is something I would normally watch on the Discovery Channel. There are few programs I've watched as interesting as this one. Sad to see that you will be making fewer videos. But glad to see you back after a long pause. I think I speak for everyone when I say I would also like to see videos from your other projects if that is at all possible. Looking forward to seeing whatever your next project is and thanks for the opportunity to see these exceptional videos.

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.

[@timothytaylor8870]

Mike, so excited for you! Hope you are involving family in these projects when ever possible! Looking forward to seeing what ever you can share! It’s been wonderful following “Scrappy!” I think it should be taught in night school as a special class for all students! It would teach work ethics, design, project management, engineering, sculpting, art, Systems management, just to name a few of the areas covered. It also teaches to bring a dream into reality. I didn’t state it very well but I’m sure it would be a great boon to our education system so I have a course like this for all high school children and probably college as well! Thanks for taking the time we really enjoyed it!
