"Mosquito Helicopter Ballet"

All Ultralight Flying is minimalist in nature. In order to meet the weight requirements, structures and engines are pared down to the barest material needed for the strength required. They become models of aeronautical engineering.
One of the most complex of all flying systems is the helicopter. The mechanism used in order to allow the spinning wings (rotor) overhead to perform while the craft maintains forward motion is akin to the proverbial "Swiss Watch".
Tying both of these engineering challenges together is an elegant, spare, flying machine from Australia called "The Mosquito".
Doug Bryant of Wichita, Kansas dances his Mosquito through a variety of maneuvers in what Cameraman/Director/Editor Brian FitzGerald calls "Mosquito Helicopter Ballet". This music video is a segment of the movie "Ultralight Flying Millennium 2" by Brian FitzGerald. More on it can be seen here:

[@redsrollingnow1]

Why is the pilot's left foot continually twitching for crying out loud? 😎

[@BrianFitzGerald-TheSkySurfer]

It has to do with the large number of competing vibrations coursing through all helicopters. They tend to manifest at one spot in the frame and in this copter they show at that foot petal.

[@MrLeo1623]

Amazing ... I don't know how he can control the balance without overturning while flying.

[@BrianFitzGerald-TheSkySurfer]

Dear Richard, I'm glad you liked it. I really enjoyed my time with Doug. He is out flying at the Gliderport all the time honing that skill. I learned many things about helicopters while putting the piece together. If I get enough reaction on KZbin to my postings I may start putting up the interviews I have done with the various pilots also. Blue Skies & Tailwinds!™ Brian FitzGerald

very kool,,,,,,would like to hear the heli sound,,,,,,

[@BrianFitzGerald-TheSkySurfer]

I doubt it. It sounds like a bunch of bees in a mason jar after you shake it up. You can start up your chain saw and get the same motor music. Me personally, I didn't like the racket but decided to put one of my all time favorite tunes under it.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

[@j.d.schultzsr.9215]

Great video! In addition to my RC helicopter, I have 6.5 hours in the jump seat of a Huey while performing aeromedical transport, so I have some idea how choppers fly. This sure looks nice, and possibly the only one I could ever own (or fly). I am, as is always the case, quite disappointed that instead of hearing the sound of the engine, we get cornball "music."

[@mohammadomarfaruq3842]

Which engine (bicycle, car or anything else ) you used in this project ?

You can't hear the engine just wind noise. You can mute the music and play Nascar in the background and get a better idea of what it sounds like.

[@DIZEMANPHOTO]

Does he have Parkinson's Disease or is it the tail rotor that unstable?

[@Try01]

very nice, are those fuel tanks on top of your head? and what type of engine are you using? :)

[@BrianFitzGerald-TheSkySurfer]

Trymore Kefasi Yes, those are his fuel tanks. At that time he was using an MZ-202 engine but he has since switched to a Rotax 503.

[@smartazz61]

Curios here. No smart comments. I did the jet ski thing for about five years. Almost every weekend seriously. Colorado River. Anyhow, the "Skis" that I saw broken down more than any were those with Rotax motors. When I started to view videos of ultralights and so on, I saw that many used Rotax motors. This seemed odd to me due to my anecdotal "evidence". I also noticed that Yamaha motors seemed to be virtually bullet proof. The stock ones anyhow. However, I don't see Yamaha motors in Ultralights. Is there anything to this?

[@smartazz61]

On that note. (Dependable motors.) Is a turbine more dependable than say a tried and true four stroke motor designed for the air such as a Lycoming?

[@philanimthombeni7887]

Well done

[@BrianFitzGerald-TheSkySurfer]

Dear Petr, I am not a dealer. I just produced this movie as part of a documentary I made. I will send your info to the guy flying The Mosquito, though. He is a dealer. Blue Skies & Tailwinds!™ Brian FitzGerald - Wichita

I noticed the tail rotor rotates in the opposite direction as most helicopters, usually they rotate up into the main rotor wash, was this portion of the video run backwards or does it actually turn this way ?

[@scottream955]

Why is his left foot bouncing on the yaw pedal?? Is that from being nervous or from the tail blades being unbalanced? (I noticed theres some tail vibrations)

[@encoreparkour6769]

it might just be from the motor if he built it himself

[@smartazz61]

I think it's natural nerves really. I have the same problem flying an RC heli at times. With my hand though of course. If I'm sort of on the edge of my abilities, I may shake a bit.

How much did it cost?

[@AV8R_1]

I got my commercial and instrument rating in helicopters, and I miss it every day, but I have to admit I would be terrified to fly that thing!! How are you managing your engine power or manifold pressure and rotor RPM without gauges? Is the throttle using a correlater, or is it 100% manual? Yikes! I would at least need a rotor RPM gauge! It's so critical especially the lighter the helicopter is and the smaller the engine is the preferred rpm range for the main rotor can be a very small range between minimum and maximum rotor RPM. It becomes even more critical when you're using a light low inertia rotor system that is highly susceptible to very rapid changes and rotor RPM.

[@BrianFitzGerald-TheSkySurfer]

+TomVaillencourt Dear Tom, I did the music video and the interview. This is part of my movie "UFM2". I'm certain he has a rotor tach. This is a two cycle engine so he is using a tach on it also but he told me he ran it 100% all the time. I think you haven't seen the interview part yet.
