Get the thrill of Mike Patey’s custom backcountry bush plane with the E-flite® Micro Scrappy 800mm - an officially licensed replica that lets you enjoy adventurous flying in more places and tighter spaces.
Mike Patey’s infectious enthusiasm and undeniable passion for aviation have inspired thousands to pursue their dreams of flight with RC (Radio Controlled) and full-scale aircraft! His exceptional drive and signature “Back to Work” tagline led him to design and build some of the most unique and incredible aircraft. Starting with the frame from a crashed Carbon Cub, one of Mike’s latest projects was “Scrappy” – a unique bush plane featuring his transforming airfoil, wings with solar panels on top, two electric motorcycle mounts underneath, and dynamic controllable suspension. E-flite® has created the Micro Scrappy 800mm as an officially licensed replica of the sophisticated STOL aircraft, designing it to be affordable and convenient so intermediate to experienced pilots can enjoy flying almost anywhere-from parks and sports fields to RC flying fields and beyond!
Inspired by the incredible ingenuity and effort Mike Patey puts into building his full-sized aircraft, E-flite offers the only officially licensed scale replicas of his DRACO and Scrappy designs. The E-flite Micro Scrappy 800mm is slightly larger than UMX (Ultra Micro eXtreme) and other ultra-micro class models to better replicate the full-scale aircraft’s complex design while including as many scale details as possible. It’s still small and light enough to fly in large yards, small parks, sports fields, and beyond – yet it also features incredible surface details, including molded-in rivets and panel lines, antennas, struts, and more. Functional features include LED navigation, landing and simulated strobe lights, flaps, and a steerable tailwheel. Oversized, tundra-style tires on the wire main gear with simulated shocks soak up bumps and provide excellent prop clearance while making it possible to take off from and land on paved, dirt, gravel, and even the grass surfaces found at many parks and sports fields.
The high-power brushless outrunner motor can drive the uniquely shaped 4-blade propeller with a 3S 300mAh battery for smooth and scale-like flight and even to perform basic aerobatics. Or you can use a 4S 300mAh battery without any modifications or upgrades for better-than-scale vertical performance and more aggressive aerobatic flying! The factory-installed Spektrum receiver and ESC deliver real-time telemetry data, including overall battery voltage, current, motor RPM, and more, to compatible AirWare-equipped transmitters. The receiver is also equipped with expertly tuned AS3X® technology, giving you the smooth, locked-in feel of a larger model-even in some wind-plus optional-use SAFE® Select, making confident flying easier once you’ve mastered a plane or two. Best of all, Micro Scrappy arrives factory-finished with a premium, fully-painted plus decal trim scheme and mostly factory-assembled with a separate one-piece wing that can be installed or removed quickly and easily with a single screw. It all comes together to deliver an authentic – yet affordable and convenient – Scrappy flying experience, including excellent STOL (Short Take Off and Landing), scale, and beyond flight performance!
Micro Scrappy is a Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic aircraft that includes a Spektrum receiver equipped with industry-leading DSMX/DSM2 technology so intermediate to experienced RC pilots can use their own compatible transmitter, battery, and charger. An ULTIMATE Combo including the BNF Basic airplane, a Spektrum transmitter, Smart charger, adapter, and battery – plus a copy of the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator – is also available that includes everything needed to fly and saves you money compared to purchasing all of the items separately!
Are you new to flying RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft? If you are, we recommend learning to fly with one of our purpose-built trainer aircraft, such as the HobbyZone Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m (www.horizonhobby.cc/CarbonCubS2RTF). Based on the Carbon Cub that inspired Scrappy, it’s equipped with exclusive and innovative SAFE technology that makes it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully! The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes nearly everything needed to fly (except for a compatible LiPo battery and charger that are sold separately or together in a money-saving Powerstage bundle) and is a perfect choice if you're a new RC pilot.

Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed, so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
Exclusive Technologies
Micro Scrappy features exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits and automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make this the easiest to fly Scrappy model yet!
Telemetry Capable
E-flite® equips the Micro Scrappy 800mm with a control unit that integrates an ESC and Spektrum receiver, to deliver real-time telemetry-like battery voltage, current draw, and motor RPM-straight to compatible Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6–20, iX12–20, and more) as you fly.
Versatile Power
The factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor can drive the uniquely shaped four-blade propeller with 3S or 4S 300mAh batteries. Install a 3S battery for slow and smooth scale flying and basic aerobatics, or a 4S battery to deliver better-than-scale vertical and aggressive aerobatic performance – without any modifications or upgrades!
Scale Features
The Micro Scrappy comes loaded with functional scale features like flaps, LED lights, and simulated strobe lights. It features scale details like rivets, panel lines, and antennas for maximum realism.
Capable Gear
The oversized, tundra-style tires on the wire main gear with simulated shocks soak up bumps and provide excellent prop clearance. They also make it possible to taxi over, take off from, and land on a variety of surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size to handle – from the grass surfaces found at many parks and sports fields to gravel paths and paved surfaces, too.
Easy Assembly
The Micro Scrappy arrives mostly factory-assembled with the installed power system, servos, and receiver. All you need to do is install the one-piece wing with a single screw, which can be removed quickly and easily for even more convenient storage and transport. It’s also factory-finished with a premium, fully painted, plus decal trim scheme that makes for a scale replica you’ll be proud to show off everywhere you go.
Durable Design
Construction with advanced EPS material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe with more surface detail that’s lighter and stiffer than EPO or EPP. It’s also easily repairable with odorless/foam-safe CA, Foam 2 Foam, epoxy, and other foam-friendly adhesives. Or, if you damage any airframe parts or components and can’t repair them, a complete line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.
