Mike Patey's passion for aviation has inspired countless enthusiasts, and his trademark aircraft, "Scrappy" is a testament to his innovative spirit. The E-flite Micro Scrappy 800mm, an officially licensed replica that captures the essence of this STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) aircraft. Slightly larger than typical ultra-micro models, this design better replicates the complex details of the original, including moulded-in rivets, panel lines, and struts. Despite its complex appearance, it's small and light enough to be flown in large backyards, local parks, and sports fields. This Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic version includes a pre-installed Spektrum receiver with AS3X and SAFE Select technologies, allowing intermediate to experienced pilots to use their own compatible transmitter, battery, and charger for a personalised setup.
The Micro Scrappy is packed with features, including LED navigation and landing lights, operational flaps, and a steerable tailwheel. Its oversized, tundra-style tyres on wire main gear absorb bumps, providing excellent prop clearance for take-offs and landings on varied surfaces like grass, dirt, or pavement. The factory-installed brushless motor and uniquely shaped 4-blade propeller deliver smooth, realistic performance on a 3S 300mAh battery or aggressive aerobatic capabilities with a 4S pack—no modifications required. The Spektrum receiver provides real-time telemetry data, such as battery voltage and motor RPM, to compatible transmitters. Constructed from lightweight yet durable EPS material, the airframe is easy to assemble with a single screw for the wing, making transport and storage convenient.
