I finally get to share a secret that I've held for the ENTIRE Scrappy build! Scrappy has dynamic suspension that allows me to change the setup for differing terrain, takeoffs, windy conditions, and more! Now you know all the secrets...well, so far :) Thank you to KING Shocks for working with me to create a custom suspension system, you guys are the best!
Here's another video with more on the suspension and a bit of the hangar from my friend Dmitry!

@claytonbuckley8626 3 года назад

*Hey Mike, Hope you read this!! I know how you always take things to the next level. But this idea I have may be something you may not have considered. So In the Marine Corps we “helicopter maintainers” use the nitrogen pressure side that is inside our shock strut’s suspension to determine the weight of the helicopter. You could use your suspension to do the same thing. This is basically accomplished by Lowering the suspension: by bottoming out the strut... fill with pressure... the moment the suspension moves... record the results... do some math and make a chart.. next thing you know you now have the weight of the aircraft. 😉 Love the work you do, keep it up!

@wingman358 3 года назад

Great idea, and the pieces are all already there in scrappy. Could even make it automatic by programming it to grab the pressure when the position sensors start to move.

@jimengberg3117 3 года назад

The only reason we don't have a practical flying car is because Mike Patey hasn't decided to do that yet.

@lazyjackass77 3 года назад

Yeah there's a lot of nope in that idea. The only way that would work at all is if there were predefined routing and certifiable automation involved. Can't be having just anyone beebopping all over the place willy nilly. It would be a recipe for disaster without those two stipulations unfortunately. I think there was a youtuber who recently did a video on that but I didn't watch it. I'm sure there are lots of other obstacles and challenges that I can't think of off the top of my head.

@@ginvr I’m right there with you. The mechanism could be fairly simple. Mike often eludes to a “worm gear” and it would be easy enough to use a couple of worm gears to slide the rear portion of the wing at the rear spar back, and down. The skin of the wing could slide on top of one another, which would make sense that he’s using aluminum skin.

@firehydrant315 3 года назад

Many of the most complex things made are several simple inventions combined. I am sure that King Shocks and Garmin love to work with him because is has that child like enthusiasm to dream "what if" I.e. what if we built a shock with a separate air piston that could be adjusted on the fly (to the extent of the piston stroke) an indefinite number of times then used angle sensors and electric servo-controlled valves to control the hight of the tail wheel, then used programming in the Garmi that says if angle less than "x" open valve "a" if angle greater than "y" open valve "b" close valves when angle reaches spec. All simple steps, but when combined, magic.

I expected the suspension to be pretty impressive, but never in a million years did I expect Mike to have solved so many problems, and made so many improvements, just from the suspension. - Huge travel soft suspension to cope with the worst terrain. - Can drop low, wide and firm for safer taxiing. - Suspension can remove AOA from the wings to improve safety on the ground (which simultaneously improves taxiing, and makes it easier to board). - Automatic adjustments to remove tail wheel shimmy for different load configurations. - Can lean for sloped fields, and can keep the wings and tanks level when parked on a slope. Holy crap! That's five MASSIVE improvements that I've never, ever seen on a plane before. Mike, you never cease to amaze, incredible work!

@Nigel2Zoom 3 года назад

Like I commented before, your wing design reminds me of the The Mission-Adaptive Wing program. It used a fly by wire control system to change wing contour to maintain peak aerodynamic efficiency over a large flight envelope. Being able to change the cord thickness goes a step beyond the MAW program which if memory serves me right, used a variable wing camber system. I'm willing to bet that the Mike Patey designed system will be much more capable and efficient in its operation. Being a Veteran of Naval Aviation as well as a Licensed A&P Mechanic in my post service life and a life long aviation enthusiast I anxiously await every one of your videos. I cannot wait to see your wing design and see it in action! ✈✈✈✈✈✈

@Ozarkprepper643 3 года назад

👍its back, cool. I thought those switches would have been for in flight adjustable dihedral and other winged things. If I recall you were sort of sad with Draco having to compromise with your dihedral, so it would allow you to slip into Canyons. Although my work is not anywhere near your caliber I did design and build my own little bush plane it's a tricycle with 18in to travel on Fox air. And yes it articulates on-the-fly so to speak. I also designed my own in-flight adjustable dihedral. Very few have seen my plane though I do not go to fly ins and I post nothing on RU-vid. If you should see it it's candy apple green . With a healthy 2300 with fuel injection fed by 2 AMR 500 superchargers.

@donjohnston3776 3 года назад

Thanks for ALL you and your family do! I believe you installed a camera on the underside of the front cowling? This will not only be helpful on the ground but in the air as well. In July 1977, my late father flew my brother, a friend and I to a fly-in. On final, a biplane came down on top of the cabin of our 172. Fortunately no one was hurt, with only some cosmetic damage to paint and demolished antennae. Certainly a front mounted camera would remove the blind spot for the biplane pilot. Seeing you and SCRAPPY someday is on my bucket list. All the best to you and yours.

Especially when It comes to safety. Your emergency parachute system design doesn’t destroy your airplane like all of the others do when launched. You’re doing an amazing job and I still enjoy watching each and every one of your videos. Keep up the great work as scrappy is looking amazing.

I’m a wanna be pilot but I enjoy the engineering you do so well and explain. Go Mike!

@davidshaw164 3 года назад

So ready to see it with wings on it!!!!!!!!

@richrdlewis6278 3 года назад

When you think its just wings left, you spring this on us. Can't even come up with words now to describe how watching this build makes me feel. Astounded is close but no where near pal. Great work.

It’s awesome to watch you invent solutions to problems that seem so obvious once they are done. And you are always so psyched!

8 cylinders, air ride suspension, nitrous, sick rims, all carbon .. Basically every man's wet dream! Awesome project

Dude is so innovative. Way cool. Not sure when he sleeps, if at all… best part is his enthusiasm is infectious!

Mike, thanks for finally taking the SUSpence out of Scrappy’s SUSpension. It’s all a credit to yourself and your various helpers. 🇦🇺 🇺🇸

"Silly stuff like this..." watching an aviation pioneer innovate is hardly "Silly stuff"! I truly think that watching where your "back to work" brain goes when you are in "innovation mode" is rather what it must have been like in that small bicycle shop in Ohio when Wilbur and Orville were trying to figure out wings and powered flight flight for their first time. You and all of those names laid into the carbon fiber on Scrappy are an ongoing revolution in GA. I am surprised that Mr Musk hasn't tapped you for his Mars design team...

I work at a chemical plant and we go to great lengths to keep the pure O2 away from hydrocarbons. I cringed when you said you were using O2 on your shocks. Great move going to N2 ! 👍 Really enjoy your videos. It inspired me to get back flying. Never finished my pilots license from many years ago. Just got my license a month ago at age 61.

The best part about watching your videos is your continuous smile... easy to see how much you love what you do! Thanks for sharing with us!!

Yes I was wondering where you had that and now you show the switches awesome.... Every time I explain my friends about you airplane I tell them is the best 4x4 but with wings.!!!

@stoldrag85 3 года назад

Wow, I'm so glad I started flying all those years ago. Among the many benefits, it led me here..... spectacular innovation.

in northern Idaho where my Father grew up, his double cousin (raised as a brother) has a large farm in the rolling hills area and uses a self-leveling combine that I got to ride and drive when I was in Highschool. it keeps the machine level so it seperates the grain from the chaif properly and the cutting bar stays level with the ground to cut the stalks properly at the same time. It is an interesting ride as it can tilt up to 45% to either side automaticly or manualy. He first showed me this at the ranch on level ground with me standing beside him in th cab. had me a bit surprised at the ride!

@richardcole9558 3 года назад

Get him to drop it of at mike’s he’ll make a set of wings for it ...a flying combine ..😂

There was also a self leveling tractor marketed at one time in that area and the northwest for hillside farming.

Mike this journey has been the best thing ever! I've had binge-worthy shows that keep me hooked, but they are nothing compared to this series! Although I'm already a pilot, you inspire me to learn new things and venture out in areas that I didn't know were there. You're the best! Keep it up!!!

@briant6333 3 года назад

simply WOW - cannot wait to see it fly and hopefully see it in person somewhere
