🔥 Firewall 🔥 (Scrappy Bush Plane 7) 

ANYDAY

Just have Mike hire you like he does everyone else he hires.

you are now a better man for having touched one of this gods possessions. go forth and be better than most now great one.

😂😂👍🏻

No charge! Just want you to come and see our paradise ☺️

Great comment, thanks. 👍🤠 In my filming I thought I was already talking to much and may lose some people 😴 💤 often I think I may give to much boring detail. I’ll go into more on this topic in a future video. I am using a bypass thermostat similar to the vermatherm I used in Draco. the variable door drive allows me to restrict air and reduce cooling air drag and increase efficiency in cruise. The thermal bypass loop I’m using does a great job on auto temp control. The standard setting on my variable drive cooler doors will be full open for startup and climb. This eliminates all pilot workload. I have excess available heat rejection in the coolers in that position and the bypass i have is set at 187 degrees so I have no workload and warmer temps are controlled automatically. Yet, in cruise flight when I’m killing time I can close the doors to a preset mechanical limit (not aloud to fully be closed) this limits cooling air drag and increases speed and efficiency. At this point I can see the temps creep above the thermal limit meaning thermal bypass is full Open to the coolers and I can stop the doors there. Also the doors will never close all the way in case of mechanical failure of the door drive unit. I will set the doors at a minimum heat rejection of 200 HP so that worst case if my doors were set to max available closed in cruise they will never be shut. If the system failed in this position I would fly near normal cruise speed of a standard cub and have plenty of cooling. If the door system failed at the other end (fully open) I would have full range of power and the thermal bypass will keep the temps warm and the only loss would be either top speed or a minor fuel efficiency loss due to extra drag. Sorry for such a worded response, I hope I didn’t put you to sleep and that it made sense how I worded this. I’ll try and give more details in the future without putting anyone to sleep 😴 ... cheers 👍🤠

I’ll be doing a whole video series on the build process of that too. 🤠

@@MikePatey you're awesome man. Thanks for sharing your motivation! We can all use it 😀

Scissors95 😂 your correct and you can’t even get to zero. It’s just how close you can get to zero from current atmosphere. At my shop it’s 25.3 and so I’m lucky with that pump to anywhere close to zero. I mentioned more about my comment in joking about the gauge problem but I have help with editing and most gets cut. I was poking fun that my vacuum pump is so good it can achieve the impossible and go twice atmosphere.

@@MikePatey I see now. I didn't try to read the gauge. As a side note I deal with vacuum systems every day and we can only get to around 3e-7 torr so I know what you mean about never hitting 0 pressure.

Absolutely! Even without the financial wealth, this guy is rich. I'm 44 with a messed up back that keeps me from working. I love cars and seeing Mike motivates me to push through the pain to go mess with my 280z project as my wife's money permits.

William Andrews you could make a lot of money online with just a computer and some willingness.

Eric Mc I am in the same boat as you. They are some fun videos to watch. Thank you Mike.

@@no0channel0at0all Oh I'm willing, just don't know how.

"10 people ...oh really ... rubbish ... its more like a 100!" (you must say it with typical dick head English accent ... it sounded hilarious in my head ...so there)

no might here i did lol

@@bloodmoongrizzlythefirst6492 was just about to say that too haha so excited

Same here, I even screamed across the house to tell my wife and kids about it.

Ha ha, now THAT'S funny.

My jaw hit the floor.

Keeping the Wilga market in business single handedly.

@@MrJaiimez 23 left you only have to buy 22 more Mike and you will own the entire fleet. you can do it you can do it

LOL! I so agree!

Good, so it's not just me...

@@ChuckTruitt Absolutely not just you. This guy has the ultimate combination of mind-bending intelligence, mad scientist ingenuity, and the fabrication skills to make it all reality. Blows my mind how that all fits in one guy....

There's genius, dumb, and dumber. That is, Mike; most of us watching his vlogs; and ME.

Ha, me too!

Me to. I do that all the time now!

yes he is

Maybe, "Carbon Man"?

Welcome back. We have missed (1) Scrappy and (2) you. Seriously, yours are like training videos for us excitables.

AWESOME X-2

Great idea … worth some thought . Maybe even a bypass over-ride switch for pilot to use if there is a suspected oil leak in plumbing or coolers. ?

That's what I was thinking, but then I remember this is Mike Patey... hahaha

@@kevinz8867 he has a little advantage with scrappy as she's not going to fly long distance all the time (from my understanding) but I am in the process of designing my experimental and we plan to fly upwards of 1600 mile trips so I am going with the most simple and safe way with redundancy lol

I was thinking the same thing. My crappy home built race car had a thermostat on the additional oil cooler. I wonder if a thermostat reduces flow significantly, therefore not suitable for his high HP application?

Most aircraft already have one, called a vernatherm. But they still seem to let oil flow to the cooler a little in my experience. Putting a door on the oil cooler is best, and it may allow the cooler to get warm enough so oil doesn’t congeal in the cooler on cold days. Maybe he could put an automatic function on the servo motor, then it can adjust itself without him trying to chase it!

😂 lol well Thank you! 😂

@@MikePatey Just don't wear your underwear on the outside though.

cucumberman1234567 too late, I better fix that before I go to Walmart ..... oh wait never mind, I can go there this way

@@MikePatey hahahahaha omg nailed it

You know he owns the company don’t you ? If he steps back to play more it could adversely affect the cash flow for his toys.

What does he do

@@spar8334 I believe the question should be "what doesn't Mike Patey do?" But to answer your question he owns several companies, two I can name off the top of my head. EcoVap which makes a structure that treats wastewater for the oil & gas industry & of course his title sponsor, Best Tugs which makes electric tugs for light aircraft. He & his twin brother Mark are truly amazing gentlemen!

no... lol...

no offense george... but... light to dark

Please,please.please design an electric airplane with Elon Musk.... 75lb motor, handful of parts, 350 hp.
