Close up Mosquito Helicopters Comparison

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this

The one with the Brazil flag on it and the turbine engine, the hour meter is at 28.1 hours. The last digit with the white backround registers tenths of an hour.

Great video, you asked the owners what engine is it, and they said 290, in reality these are converted Arctic Cat (Suzuki B80) 800 sled engine, the most reliable 2 cylinder, 2 stroke engine ever put into a sled. These engines in the heli would be first gen 80hp version, as opposed the the second gen HO engine at 165hp.

@@stevecarlisle3323 thanks for sharing that info!

What a beautifully built machine, outstanding.

[@sky173]

Probably the best video I'll see all day. I've always wanted one of these. Thanks for sharing.

Man, you must be in mosquito heaven! These are beautiful. Lots of loving care and time constructing them! I would still be nervous flying without a BRS, though. I understand the challenge involved with the rotor.

[@Agustin-jo8mv]

Interesting. Hey, so do you still have your mosquito? I wonder why you never use yours? I guess it's a much bigger hassle than just flying the paramotor, but the helis seem cooler just much more expensive. 😬 Haha.

[@martinposavec5255]

That rubber belt connecting the engine shaft to rotor is making me sweat. How safe is this?

[@MitchG]

@martinposavec5255 it's actually 2 seperate belts so if 1 fails you have a back up. If both fail you can autorotate.

[@martinposavec5255]

@@MitchG seems legit.

What an awesome niche hobby! I fly 700 sized RC helis in India. I can't wait to build a mosquito Heli some time and fly it around my farmhouse. I know I am gonna have a super hard time with importing parts ...🙁

This is MZ-202 engine ? 6:15

[@MitchG]

Yep. That's the mz202

Hey Mitch, big fan. Really enjoy your content. Clear to me you’re still quite interested in the mosquitoes. You owned one of the simpler earlier ones a few years back. Did you sell it? If so are you in the market for another one?

[@MitchG]

I still have my mosquito air. I'm actually trying to find a buyer for my mosquito. Thanks for being a viewer!

[@wade4652]

So just planning on upgrading then (mosquito) ? Curious as to why your selling if your still a fan

[@MitchG]

@@wade4652 I think mosquitos are awesome BUT I have other flying toys that are more practical for my current living situation. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to experience it though.

[@johngbaptist5965]

@@MitchG Well, Mitch. I might be in the market for one soon... Is it current? Have you flown it recently?

[@MitchG]

@@johngbaptist5965 I sold my mosquito.

[@davidyoung518]

did you find out what those things were on the rotor blades?

[@MitchG]

The owner said they help reduce collective stick forces so that you can let go of the collective in flight without it moving.

[@IIAShadowII]

Still have your mosquito? I tried to buy it once

[@MitchG]

@@IIAShadowII sold it

[@IIAShadowII]

@@MitchG Getting into it again? Looking at XEL's.

[@MitchG]

@@IIAShadowII maybe someday. I'm focusing on other things right now

[@adnahayali3134]

How much

[@adnahayali3134]

Good

[@shazam6274]

Thank you for an informative and accurate video. Most 'Tubers are quite ignorant and arrogant. FYI: the treatment of the tail rotor helps a tiny bit aerodynamically, but mostly reduces noise.
