E-flite Micro Scrappy RC Plane Introduction

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!

E-flite Micro Scrappy RC Plane Overview

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 moulded-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 SpektrumT 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!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuring AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization-3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence so you enjoy a sense of stability and precision that makes it feel like you're flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft.

If this is your first model of its type, or you want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection technology built into the receiver. No programming is required.


With SAFE Select enabled, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits

  • These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling

  • The airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the centre position. It's also helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Switch Assignment-No Complex Programming Required

  • The simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't require any complex programming and takes just a few seconds. For UMX models like this one, SAFE Select is automatically assigned to channel 5 (Gear) so you can turn it on and off with any switch assigned to that channel (switch A by default on most Spektrum computer transmitters).

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the E-flite Micro Scrappy 800mm suitable for beginners or new RC pilots? — No, this model is not recommended for first-time RC pilots. It is classified as Skill Level 2, requiring some experience flying higher-performance ultra-micro models or similar class aircraft. New RC pilots should start with a purpose-built trainer aircraft such as the HobbyZone Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m, which features SAFE technology specifically designed to help beginners learn successfully. The Micro Scrappy requires confident handling and understanding of aeronautical principles before attempting to fly it.
  • What battery does the Micro Scrappy 800mm require, and what's the difference between 3S and 4S operation? — The Micro Scrappy requires either a 3S 11.1V or 4S 14.8V 300mAh LiPo battery with a JST-RCY connector. With a 3S battery, you'll experience smooth, scale-like flight characteristics perfect for cruising and practicing fundamental manoeuvres. With a 4S battery, the motor delivers significantly more power, enabling better-than-scale vertical performance and more aggressive aerobatic flying. You can switch between battery types without any modifications to the aircraft or electronics.
  • What makes this an officially licensed replica, and why does that matter? — The E-flite Micro Scrappy 800mm is the official, licensed interpretation of Mike Patey's actual custom bush plane called Scrappy. This means E-flite worked directly with Patey to accurately capture the distinctive design features, proportions, and spirit of his one-of-a-kind aircraft. If you admire Mike Patey's aviation projects and "Back to Work" philosophy, this model delivers authentic representation rather than a generic backcountry bush plane design.
  • How does the AS3X technology improve my flying experience? — AS3X (Artificial Stabilisation-3-aXis) is exclusive Spektrum technology that continuously monitors the aircraft's movement and automatically makes micro-adjustments to control surface positions hundreds of times per second to counteract wind effects and turbulence. This means the Micro Scrappy maintains a locked-in, precise feel even in breezy conditions, making it handle as smoothly as an aircraft much larger than its actual 800mm wingspan. The technology works transparently in the background without requiring any pilot input or setup.
  • What is SAFE Select, and should I use it? — SAFE Select is an optional flight envelope protection system that you can activate or deactivate at the flip of a switch on your transmitter. When activated, SAFE Select imposes pitch and bank angle limits and provides automatic self-leveling to prevent stalls and excessive attitudes. This optional protection makes the Micro Scrappy easier and more forgiving to fly, giving you extra confidence as you build your skills on a capable aircraft. Once you're comfortable flying, you can deactivate SAFE Select for unrestricted aerobatic performance.
  • Can I fly the Micro Scrappy from grass fields, parks, and other surfaces besides proper RC flying fields? — Yes, one of the Micro Scrappy's defining characteristics is its capability to operate from varied surfaces. The oversized tundra-style tyres with simulated shock absorbers provide excellent ground clearance and can handle paved surfaces, dirt tracks, gravel paths, and grass areas typically found in parks and sports fields. The steerable tailwheel aids smooth taxiing and directional control. This STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) capability makes the Micro Scrappy genuinely versatile for UK RC pilots who don't have access to dedicated flying fields.
  • What is the real-time telemetry system, and what transmitters support it? — The integrated Spektrum control unit delivers real-time telemetry data including battery voltage, current draw, and motor RPM directly to your transmitter's screen during flight. This feature is supported by Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6-20, iX12-20, and other compatible models. Telemetry allows you to monitor your aircraft's performance and remaining flight time at a glance without relying on external battery checkers.
  • How long does the Micro Scrappy take to assemble, and what assembly skills are required? — The Micro Scrappy arrives mostly factory-assembled with all major components including motor, ESC, receiver, and servos already installed. Assembly is straightforward: you simply need to install the one-piece wing using a single screw and bind the receiver to your transmitter. Detailed assembly instructions are included in the product manual. This minimal assembly requirement means you can be ready to fly within an hour of opening the box.
  • Is the Micro Scrappy durable, and what should I do if I damage it? — The advanced EPS foam airframe construction is both lightweight and durable, capable of absorbing impacts during normal flying. If you do damage any part of the airframe, EPS foam is easily repairable using foam-safe CA, Foam 2 Foam adhesive, epoxy, and other conventional foam-friendly adhesives. E-flite also offers a complete line of replacement and spare parts readily available through authorised dealers like RC Model Shop, so you can repair or upgrade virtually any component.
  • Why should I choose the Micro Scrappy over other micro or ultra-micro RC aircraft? — The Micro Scrappy offers a unique combination of officially licensed authentic scale design based on Mike Patey's actual aircraft, impressive functional features including operational flaps and LED lighting, versatile power options with 3S/4S battery compatibility, genuine STOL capability for varied surface operations, and advanced stabilisation technology with optional flight envelope protection.

  • If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
  • For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
