Thanks man. The Mosquito helicopter are great flying helicopters! She gets a thorough safety inspection every year. The beauty of AB Experimental is that the original builder can get the maintenance certificate for that aircraft. Since I’m the builder of the aircraft, I have the FAA maintenance certificate for this aircraft. Cost me nothing but time for all my safety inspections. 👍

Sorry, I’m not sure I understand your comment.

@@dstoreyaviation i search ultralight helikopter from two seats sir

@@Piotr-uv2yp Sorry, here in the U.S., there is no such thing as “ultralight” and 2 seat being the same aircraft…

@@dstoreyaviation i know that ..U S i watch you're channel and tell me why isn't there two seater Heli like this ? Iga someone wanted to fly somewhere there isn't trunku or seconda seats. Which is a pity little sir. Ps how much cost this Heli ?

@@Piotr-uv2yp The short is CFX did build a 2 seater and flew it. A lot of lessons learned and needed some redesigning. Then Covid hit. Business partner passed away, XE285 needed upgraded, CFX started making own rotor blades, etc. When the time is right, CFX has stated that it would like to start back on the 2 place Mosquito. Until then… Prices? All current accurate prices are listed on the CFX website or one of it’s dealer.

I think they are rated to like 4 G’s but I’ve never pushed it that far! 😂 The pedal turns are a little scary at first because the Mosquito’s use a semi rigid rotor head. I have to keep the rotor head loaded with some collective and don’t use any input on the cyclic until after the pedal turn as I’m pulling more collective in at the bottom. They are actually a lot of fun once you learn how to do them properly. Thanks for watching!

as you got the the highest point and were turning via pedal did you have to drop the collective a bit or was it consistently up during the whole maneuver? dang thats like as good as an as350 lmao yeah i imagine if you pushed it to that limit (4Gs) youd have to get it inspected for your own safety. good stuff man , sick heli @@dstoreyaviation

@@johnstosh6658 I leave the collective up! Because of the teetering floating rotor head (semi-rigid design), the rotor system needs to stay loaded during any maneuvers or mast bumping can occur. Which would be bad…

I’ve heard several helicopter pilot friends say that airplanes are for people that can’t fly helicopters! LOL! It is funny but I also fly and own airplanes. They are just for different missions… Thanks for watching. I’ll have more video’s coming out over the winter and next year for sure!

Eh! The pilot is ok but the helicopter flies really, really good. Thanks for the compliment and for watching.

Oh yeah! 😂 We unroll every roll. You have to remember, that was back during the phase 1 testing of the plane. I was nervous! All I could think about is that I built this airplane in my garage and suddenly started visualizing every nut and bolt in the wings, tail and fuselage. I finally said screw it and went for it. Haven’t stopped since…

Thank you but as I’ve said before, these helicopters fly great and they make me look better than I actually am. 😝 Thanks for watching!

Nope, just like any other aircraft manufacturer or auto dealer. You need to bring to the table that you can already fly or drive. Thanks for watching.

Yes. The Mosquito XEL ultralight model is the only one that comes with pontoons. They are not intended for water operations as that requires special training. They are used to meet FAA ultralight requirements only. Thanks for watching!

@@dstoreyaviation thanks for reply

Thank you and thanks for watching. More to come later this year.

The only difference electronically on the XET is in 2018 CFX went to the newer MGL iEFIS Lite vs the older Enigma. All of the XE Series helicopters are the same helicopter with different engine options. In 2019/2020 CFX started incorporating the fuel tank access panel on all the kits. Great flying helicopters!!! Thanks for watching.

@@dstoreyaviation Thank you for your answer. What are the options that you must have (horizontal stabilizer or 4 points belt for example) ? Do the fuel tank access can be retrofitted on the old MGL ? Why the start sequence on the XET is not fully automatic like bigger helicopters ? Best regards Philippe

@@philippeesteban7086 The start sequence on the Mosquito XET is manual start because there is no ECU on the Solar T62-2A1. It has a manual driven FCU and no electronics. It is a repurposed APU out of a Chinook helicopter. For your all other in depth questions, please PM me at [email protected] or visit my website at www.storeyaviation.com. Thanks again for watching and stay tuned for new video’s coming out this year.

Thank you for the compliment! Would you believe no military helicopter training? I actually flew Remote Controlled helicopters for years and have thousands of hours in fixed wing. The Mosquito helicopter is one of the best flying helicopters ever as far as maintenance, stability and agility. It is an absolute blast to fly! Thanks for watching!

Of course it can! But it’s not that visually stimulating to watch as nothing goes by quickly. I posted a video once with 1/2 flying at altitude. KZbin analysis showed that everyone would skip that section so I no longer post boring footage of just sitting there cruising. Thanks for watching.

Thank you! The Mosquito XE Series helicopters are one of the best flying helicopters around. Lots of performance and very agile. Thanks for watching.

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thanks and thanks for watching.

Thank you, the Mosquito XE Series line of helicopter really are great flying and fun helicopters! Thanks for watching!

@@dstoreyaviation I have had my PPL a long time but haven't flown in many years. I wanted to get a helicopter rating back then but it was too costly. So certain models are considered ultralights and no licence is required?

@@glenpaul3606 The XEL is a “ultralight” model with a MZ202 2-stroke engine. It does have some limitations per the FAA part 103 requirements but it is the same fuselage as the XE, XE290 and XET so they all feel the same in a hover. We still require some helicopter training to keep you safe and for liability purposes.

Thank you and thanks for watching!

LOL! Well I do have a smaller cone that I practice with before I go to an event. After playing with the smaller cone and I admit, sometimes getting frustrated, then the larger standard cones seem more fun! Who would have thought that something as fun as playing with safety cones would help with your precision in flying/hovering a helicopter… These Mosquito helicopters really are great little helicopter and one of the most fun to fly. Thanks for watching!

I have only flown in mist or very light rain. Most experimental helicopter kits are not designed for all weather flight, mainly just for VFR.

The turbines are all mechanically governed. Currently the XE and XE290 is manual throttle but the do have adjustable correlation on the collective. There is plans for a governor through the ECU.

Yes, Mosquito XET is the flagship model of the XE Series line of personal helicopters.

One part at a time… Only takes approximately 450 man hours to build which is not much for any helicopter. It’s actually a great kit to build and fly.

@@dstoreyaviation is it easy to get components to build that helicopter ? I am from indonesia and i am really interested to learn building this cool helicopter and i'd love to learn it from u

@@pemilika1292 For all international sales and service, please contact Composite FX directly for information. Their contact information can be found at www.composite-fx.com.

Best thing to do is to go take an introductory helicopter flight. This will let you know if flying a helicopter is for you and let you know where the helicopter flight schools are in your area. Helicopters are kinda like cars, different brands will have a little different feel and available power but all fly with the same controls.
