Dwight - 2018 Mosquito Fly-In

Dwight Junkin (President Composite FX) put a Mosquito XET through it's paces. Check them out at (www.composite-f...)

[@budthebusker]

Thank You.... I'm gradually getting closer to my licence here in Australia...and my XE is slowly getting legal to fly and regoed... seeing this vision greatly motivates me to keep going. Mosquito's are a wonderful Helicopter. Thank You to the makers of it. Please keep going.

[@codmott286]

damn what a beautiful and well designed machine. I hope mosquito can continue in John's absence.

[@MauiFlyGuy]

[@leandrovera2459]

Que piloto

[@rmshivo]

what a skill set the pilot's got!

[@overdalimit]

AWESOME.... I know you guys have been manufacturing these for quite a while... will you ever make a 2 seater model? Also, is Dwight a heli pilot from the military or??? he has great skills..

[@MauiFlyGuy]

Since the death of John Uptigrove development of the two place Heli has been cancelled. And no, Dwight was not a military pilot. He learned to fly just like the rest of us.

[@RifullOfTheWest]

@ J. Michael, when is the next fly-in? I just bought a 285, I was told it was around mar 22, 2019 but wasnt sure if I heard them correctly. FX Composite is literally impossible to reach, never answer calls, or emails.

[@MauiFlyGuy]

28-29 March 2020. It is a lot of fun. Join the Mosquito Forum (composite-fx.com/forum/).

[@moacirenosrosa6791]

Michael, parabéns, sabe se seria possível produzirmos este equipamento aqui no Brasil. Vc ou o projetista venderiam o projeto?

[@vando43]

Não dá pra produzir uma q n tem engenheiros capaz formado nessa facudade

[@rotasul8390]

Does anyone in Brazil sell this aircraft?

[@MauiFlyGuy]

I don’t think so. Contact the factory directly.

[@rotasul8390]

@@MauiFlyGuy I saw a Brazilian flag on that helicopter. can you get me the factory whatsapp number? I can only talk by whatsapp. I live in Brazil

[@rayterry7]

How reliable are these helicopters though???

[@MauiFlyGuy]

The turbine is the most reliable but I could not afford that one. The 285 seems to be reliable to most however I am having fuel mapping issues. That being said I believe I am the only owner living at 5,280 MSL. The factory is working on a new ECU to address this issue.

[@amgiadsbahi1379]

do u need a PPL H to fly this mosquito??

[@MauiFlyGuy]

It all depends which model you are looking at. No PPL for the Air and XEL. At least a fixed wing PPL and training for the 285 and XET.

[@RifullOfTheWest]

It is highly recommended to have a PPL to fly however. It is not advised to fly without one, but legally you can in 2 models. Without the PPL you cannot land or approach any airport. You must fly in designated zones too and it heavily restricts traveling.

[@titanpcp8124]

What is the maximum speed?

[@P_double_H]

90 miles an hour maybe...

[@gileadegaioso]

Belezinha!!!......

[@bhartbirsingh5583]

Whts price near about?

[@RifullOfTheWest]

They start out at $35,000 USD. Requires a $10,000 down payment to get the ball rolling on production. Any added features is more cost. Base price is $35,000 for the cheapest version. There are 4 models I believe. Also additionaly, that price does not include the cost to build the helicopter which is an additional $15,000 if FX Composite builds it for you. If you pick it up, and build it yourself like I am doing, you can save alot of money in shipping which would be average for in the US around $1500-$7000 in shipping costs. When the helicopter is completed it will be valued at around $50,000 usd if you buy the $35,000 models. Add $15-20,000 to the value of the helicopter when its completed due to labor. You will also need a license for certain models also which can range in price from $10,000-$15,000.
