Monster Race Engine Roars to Life in Tiny Bush Plane 🤩 Part 1 | Scrappy #32

[@MrStorbeck]

*The guy who built both Draco and Turbulance* : "this is one is probably one of my most extreme....". Well that's saying something.

[@calesmith5353]

Draco’s my fav

[@Factory400]

As a fellow designer, engineer, and machinist.....I love the VO on the intro "Machine it, draft it......" I tend to start in the shop as well - fiddling with ideas and concepts to see what is possible. Then I draft the part or assembly afterward armed with practical knowledge. Really love how you approach these challenges Mike! Really inspiring.

[@PhilG999]

I, also, am a Mechanical Engineer (MET)! And I do design work (sometimes I just build it) and I know my way around a Machine Shop! My first thought when I saw the Intro was "This thing has an INSANE power/weight ratio!"

[@sask306]

Not fair you fire Scrappy up, we watch as you Leap Forward, tell us that Scrappy's is all warmed up, then cut to Scrappy sitting idle with loud engine sounds in the background No Doubt not showing us that Scrappy was indeed dragging the pick up along the ramp.

[@tomcoryell]

Cindy Thorn That was my thought. Scrappy was dragging the pickup across the tarmac with smoke coming off the tires!

I am always impressed by your attention to detail with your engineering Mike. There is no “cutting corners” or “close enough is good enough” approach with your aircraft builds. The most recent example where you took the time to manufacture the throttle and mixture control bell crank levers with ball bearings instead of plain bushings is just another example of going that extra yard and is fantastic.

[@SirDigger420]

I´ll bet Scrappy can jump up with the front gear up, even without the engine running, i´m pretty sure mike build kinda a lowrider/jumping car setup with these KingShocks, using the pressure of the Oxygen bottle.. Why? Stol Drags.. start with the shocks at no pressure, and a low height, avoiding drag from the Wings to get to Takeoff Speed even fastere, and as he hits the JUMP Scrappy JUMP button, the Shocks and the massive travel they have will catapult Scrappys front up to get an massive Angle of attack.. and let the 780cui engine deal with the drag.. which it will be easy capable of pulling kinda 90° verical up This thing is a SToL Top Fuel Dragster while Draco was(and will be again) kinda an STOL SUV with lots of Power
