I have spent the last two and half years bedridden with Long Covid, watching Mike building Scrappy has been an amazing inspiration for me, not only as an aviator but as an incredible human being. When the time comes for me to be rid of this illness, I have plans to emulate his ethos. Thank You Mike!

I think we had a huge loss in the aviation community when Draco crashed thankfully we still have you. Let's see Draco X come back better than ever! Turbulence sounds like an amazing build too and hope to see that adjustable pool build too.

Mike Patey makes it easy to NOT be jealous of someone's success and accomplishments cause he comes across as such a down to earth good guy ! I stumbled onto his videos a few years back at a low point in my life. His BACK TO WORK motto truly helped me get my life back and focus on the life I wanted, and to give the life my wife deserved from me to her ! So with that being said I really owe him a HUGE debt of gratitude and admiration for helping me accomplish that ! Thank you Mike Patey you are truly a wonderful person and the world is a MUCH better place with you in it !!! You help keep us all flying high and level more then you know !!!

As far as Draco X vs A speed demon record breaking fast plane, which next is a difficult choice!!! I think I'm leaning toward Draco X! You already have the fastest turboprop plane in the world. Draco X will allow you to recover that trip you planned from Alaska to South America that you lost when Draco was damaged, finish that plan that you missed out on.

Mike and Chandra, wow, great interview. Chandra, I love that you're telling MIke to keep his hands off YOUR airplane. That is great. Mike, I love that you bought another Carbon Cub to show your wife how to build hers! Christy, love seeing you wearing the Pink badge strap, how cool is that. Dan, I don't know that I ever told you how happy I was that you weren't injured in the gyro accident, but I am glad you're still here. Okay, Mike. I thought Turbulence started out with that 720 that's hanging on Scrappy's nose now. I didn't realize it was a turboprop. Oh, speaking of Scrappy, update on the prop? As to which airplane I'd like to see, Scrappy is a lot of fun, it was a blast to watch you put that together. You seem to be really happy with Scrappy. I am imagining that a lot of what you did for Scrappy is going to go into Draco X. While a Go-Fast airplane would be nice, and I know it will get built eventually, I think I'd like to see Draco X done first. You know what I REALLY want to see, though. I want to see a 190 knot Piper Arrow! Okay, a 190 knot Piper Turbo Arrow. :) As always I look forward to whatever you're building next, you are awesome, a maniac genius. Back to work! :D :D :D

Mike, Thanks for sharing yet again! Your build series on Draco got me hooked. Then Scrappy knocked it right out of the park. You have inspired me to set a personal goal is to start on a back country plane and either rebuild or scratch build. I have been involved in R&D for a few years and am a Heavy Equipment Technician so this is another branch of my skills to expand because of you, so exciting! Before your build videos I only wanted to be able to fly. I still haven't got my pilots license but that detail will work itself out. Speed is great but because of my personal interest Draco X gets my vote! Your family and Marks family is such a great example for everyone to follow. You have inspired myself and so many other in ways that can't be taught. Well beyond building and flying aircraft. I can't wait to see what you show us next, doesn't even have to be aviation related, you can bet I have watched it within 24 hours of it being released.

Could not agree more!!! We'd really like something new. Then circle back to DracoX, of course ;-)

Chandra, Mike, I remember that kiss. I saw it that day. I had tears in my eyes so bad. It was a fabulous moment. It still chokes me up today when I think of it. What a gorgeous relationship. Bless you both. Oh, I almost forgot, I vote for Draco, all the way. Loved that plane nearly as much as you two.

Great interview, I think Mike has mastered the bush plane genre and would love to see a hot rod style plane this time around. I wouldn't be upset with a DracoX though. I can only imagine what cool upgrades he would do.

In some ways it doesn’t matter which plane gets built first as it’s The Patey build process we come to watch; the enthusiasm, the engineering skills and inventiveness.

Lol hands down draco! That plane did more to get eyes into general aviation and while not everyone can get a draco everyone can get into experimental aircraft

Tell Mike he should build DracoX. He can do a lot more with it than a plane that is basically designed to do one thing, break his own record. Then what? Sell it like he did before? BACK TO WORK!

Draco X for sure. I’ve been waiting for Mike to start building the new Draco for so long now. Can not wait to see what he does with the new one.

I feel like Scrappy and Draco X are very similar in terms of their design and capability. I'd *love* to see a racing airplane first since we just had almost 2 years of a bush type plane.

"So long as everyone is OK, the rest is just stuff !" Profound words from Chandra, after Mike ground-looped Draco !

DracoX… just because I have to pick one…. And it may be pushing more limits ? What I believe is more important is what we just learnt from this couple: 1) humility 2) finding the best in each other and in 3) life in general 4) disciplined 5) sharing 6) adaptable 7) deciding to be happy, as it IS a choice 8) giving/generosity 9) teachable 10) kind 11) patient etc….. well done Mike and Chandra. We certainly can do with more people of your caliber in this world. Thanks for making this world a better place - plane by plane

Love seeing Mike & Chanda. Just good people through and through. Project wise, as much as Draco X sounds awesome, I think "I feel the need. The need for speed!". Scrappy can hold down the STOL and off field urges for a bit. Turbulence needs a big brother ...
