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.

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

Why is it pimping the most docile aircraft form since the biplane, into a demonic beast of performance is so pleasing. I want it.

I can’t remember ever being this excited to see a project come together. I’m still convinced this is a hybrid airplane or need be helicopter! Let’s get this awesome project in the air and out to be seen.

I’ve never been so excited about something I’ll never get to own. Amazing work 🇺🇸

BEAUTIFUL EXPLANATION OF THE EXHAUST SHAPE FOR THE BACK BLAST TIMING AT THE COLLECTOR!

Took me two and a half years to build an airplane where all the parts were supplied and the thinking was almost all done for me, that Scrappy is this far with every tiny component having to be thought out, tested and perfected before being fitted is actually mind-bending!

OMG. Listing to that motor idle with my headphones on is truly impressive. What a sound. Mike ...you da man.

I got goosebumps when it fired... I'm so excited for you, and thrilled that you've brought us along on this epic project.

Love the attention to the detail. Every "thousandth" is performance and reliability.

Mike sticks two fingers up to all the so called 'experts' out there by doing it his way. This plane is superb, its well thought out and done to a very high standard. Nothing wrong with having this much power, it's actually safer than a low powered plane. It can get you out of trouble in the air and will have much shorter take off. Great work. Greetings from Russia.. ❤️

Fantastic! Congratulations, we are with you all the way ! Thank you for including us.
