After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

IF you're not "listening" to (watching) Mike Patey, you're doing life wrong! :roflmao:

Kelly Johnson is a hero of mine. Most won't even know the name.

Clarence "Kelly" Johnson.

He was a aviation design engineer with no peer.

He worked for Lockheed. He started out re-designing the Model 10 Electra (the one Amelia Earhart flew - they worked together on it), in what would have gotten anyone else fired, being an upstart new-kid amongst the senior engineers, then the twin boom P-38 (a hero aircraft of WWII). He directed Lockheed's Skunk Works through the F-117. He designed the U-2 (a modified English Electric Canberra B-57). He built the SR-71. Pure fucking genius!

Kelly Johnson never had children.

IF Kelly Johnson had had children Mike Patey would have been the product.

Mike Patey and his twin brother Mark have their hands in many business ventures. They build Best Tugs - a aircraft moving machine - like a Tug Boat but for airplanes. He also mentions he and his brother recently sold an engineering company. They make GripLockTies™ rubber-lined, reusable Zip Ties.

He owns several racing titles and records. He's built and raced automobiles (troply trucks) and aircraft. He's designed and built 14 aircraft.

He took this...
PZL-104 Wilga 0001 03072021.JPG
And did this to it...DRACO.
PZL-104 Wilga Draco 0002 03072021.jpg
An outsized, over- engineered, over-powered (he put a Turbo-Jet engine in it! :roflmao:) and over-spent (he had over $1,200,000 in it) version of its former self. In about 1 year it, DRACO, had become an aviation legend. In the STOL and Bush Plane world it was unmatched - unquestioningly unmatched.

He did this with it - never ever been done before by anyone (successfully).



He then did this to it, with his wife and best friend on board...
PZL-104 Wilga Draco Crash 0003 03072021.jpg


He hadn't even cleaned the dust off himself and made a video owning up to his mistake(S).



He, at the time, said DRACO was a goner and would not live again. He has since changed his mind and will rebuild her - better than before! DRACO-X - DRACO-Fucking-X! :roflmao:

In between the time of saying it wouldn't fly again, then saying it would, he embarked on ANOTHER fantastical aviation adventure.

He is taking a Carbon Cub and outsizing it, over-engineering it, over-powering it and undoubtedly over-spending on it :winky:! He's doing to a Carbon Cub what he did the the Wilga. He's named it Scrappy. So named because much of it is using reused parts or assemblies. He even has BIG NAMES in the aviation industry and trophy trucks making equipment for him. Garmin is one. They made him a custom 5 screen system, 4 up on the instrument panel and 1 for the passenger in the backseat! :roflmao: He's got desert racing shock King Shocks making him custom gear. Oh, he most recently had a aviation wheels and brake company - Beringer Wheels and Brakes - make him a custom brake system - just for Scrappy! Now with Scrappy nearing completion (just short of wings), Mike decided he needed to upgrade the brake system. He then had to re-engineer and manufacture what he'd already engineered and manufacture and custom built! :crazy:

He's putting a race engine he built for a title holding racing aircraft he built - Turbulence - in it. A 13 Liter, 780 Cubic Inch 500-ish Horse Power monster - he's juicing it! :roflmao: - he's expecting North of 600H.P. out of it! He's using a propeller off a racing air boat.

IF you don't watch any more than the intro, :35 to :55 in to this video - he makes an impressive statement as to what he and others do in innovating ideas and creations - in part "Every time something new gets built, the entire world advances" - and the outro 16:26 to 17:03 he actually parked his airplanes like that :roflmao: and at the end it shows DRACO taking off in what I estimate to be about 20 feet (yes, he gets an airplane off the ground from a stop (not a rolling start) and flying in 'about' 20 feet) :roflmao:!



He's had Caitlyn Jenner out working on Scrappy.

In his latest Scrappy video he talks about this plans for the its wings - something he's been working on privately for more than a year. He's promising to break the mold again. At this point, I believe him! :winky: :toker1:

Oh, I forgot. Embedded in the carbon fiber are the names of important people and persons of General Aviation. He is part of a flying club - Flying Cowboys. Small potatoes in aviation and this genius is out flying with them. He's a Joe's Joe.

I reiterate: IF you're not "listening" to (watching) Mike Patey, you're doing life wrong! :roflmao:

:winky:,
