The 1 million dollar wing assembly! The attention to detail is mind boggling.

As someone who has many years experience with repairing and major overhauls of Boeing aircraft, and dealing with stacks of shims that Boeing used in areas like the structure surrounding the S duct on a 727, to make up for large tolerances in fitment, makes witnessing of the precision and exacting tolerances achieved by Mike Patey, all the more impressive! I am completely blown away by Scrappy. We are witnessing unequaled engineering prowess. I eagerly await each and every video.

I think the thing to remember is Mike is building this without a real timeframe or budget, public companies are under alot for time and budget pressure. Not saying it justifys their failings sometimes, but I'm sure alot of engineers at Boeing, ect, would love to deal with this kind of precision but the finance guys would rather have looser tolerances in favour of being able to produce an extra part per hour ect.

@wrstew1272

@@MrJaiimez I wish that your statement were true, but do bean counters really designate quality in engineering? Granted that Mike controls when parts are made, choosing temp etc., but surely the biggest guys can temperature control the machining areas, and subassembly areas. You just have to specify requirements. He does, they don’t. Simple? Timeframe? Budget? As if Boeing or Airbus are pressed for either as it takes years to design and tool to build aircraft. They neither lack either. Mike worked his ass off and created products that were needed, built a business that obviously builds quality products, priced accordingly, and continues doing the same. The twins have a booming business that can’t keep up with orders. Then he does super engineering and manufacturing after work and weekends to design and assemble a excellent prototype of a world class experimental aircraft. The biggest guys might, but not at the profit margins required. My 2 cents worth.

As a retired Machinist, I love your work. I've been a big fan of yours for years 😊. I can't wait to see Scrappy fly !!!

THIS is bush flying, redefined! Mike will be able to get into and out of places you couldn't reach with a horse or a ski-doo even!

Turns out houses are complicated. Who knew! (There's also been an awful lot of precision machining time going into this build, and I'd be very surprised if even Mike has had the number of hours in the day to do much more than a small fraction of that himself.)

I know SCRAPPY is sitting somewhere in the PATEY COMPLEX fully assembled...can't wait to see it.

That 10% extra thought and care on every part is what makes the difference.

14:10 = "Our luck is holding out..." Amazing how much planning and work goes into being "lucky!" Wonderful series.

Such attention to detail. This wing or a copy of it belongs in a museum somewhere.

I know I'm just a random bloke on the interweb, but your amazing fit and finish are a tribute to your immense attention to detail, and a total credit to you. Wonderful to see.

Nice! Waking up to Scrappy wing updates on a Saturday morning! The engineering is so amazing to see. Really next level stuff. Back to work Mike! Love it!

Mike's attention to detail is simply amazing. His workmanship is second to none.

The attention to even the smallest details is stunning! As I was watching, I was wondering how holes in large aluminum parts could line up so perfectly if parts were produced in different shops and the shops were almost guaranteed to be at different temperatures. A bit further in and Mike outlines how he made sure each shop was temperature controlled to the same temp and how he shot each panel with a temp gun before allowing the shop to run that panel! Attention to even the smallest detail is something seldom seen in all but the most demanding, cost is no concern, industry. IMPRESSIVE!!!!

I have no idea why but there was a level of intensity and emotion when Draco met its end and is matched by watching this... brings tears to your eyes to watch this... I think it is time to talk about a ride.... how about $1000 to your favorite charity and I get a short ride around the block? :)

The fact that you thought this entire thing through is mind blowing. The fact that it all fits together is incredible. All those months you kept us captivated building Scrappy we thought you were ignoring the wings. In fact you were developing them in your mind and then in a computer. It is hard to imagine.

In a very unique and satisfying way these videos give me true hope and a genuine sense of pride. It’s comforting to know I share the planet with a man who displays the qualities of hard work, sacrifice, and industry to the point of fueling our dreams. I may never achieve the level of Mr Patey but in my own corner of the world I will take his example to heart and grow and shine in my own right. I think it would be amazing to amalgamate all of these videos onto a DVD or some other permanent form of media that we can keep and watch irrespective of KZread. I would certainly be willing to pay a modest premium for such a treasure.
