Personal Home Built Helicopter fits in my Garage!

This mosquito is for sale.
Added a heat shield to the mosquito air, adjusted the PC link again and did some more hovering

You pushing a helicopter down the street whilst riding a one wheel is now officially my favourite shot on KZbin! 😂👍

What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him

Good stuff, mate. I can imagine you're "that guy" in the neighbourhood ("mom! that man is pushing his helicopter on an electric unicycle again" "get away from the window, honey") That's a compliment, the world needs more "that guy" people, they add character to an otherwise boring world. 30k?

I think the heat shield is a great idea but also I would run some tubing from the carburetor toward the front and put the air filters up there so it's sucking in cold air for sure.

[@My-Pal-Hal]

Put a few spacers (washers) under the coils. The Air Gap will help wonders. And even adding a layer of insulation on the engine side of your heat shield will help. And help keep the heat transfer to a minimum ☺️ And a composite shield would help. Make it larger. Since weight would be less of a consideration. And an idler pulley on the belt,.. blah blah blah ✌️ ...us old aerospace guys Love Toys 😍 good job

[@woodhonky3890]

I definitely agree with the washers. The way it is now is like a reverse heat sink.

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

Nice video. Beautiful machine. I am a two stroke engine-holic and love to hear two stroke engines, so please mute the music in future videos where the engine is running. Maybe a different expansion chamber/exhaust would give you a little more power and allow the richer jets to work also. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

Mitch, I read many years ago about Robinson helicopters humble beginnings when Mrs. Robinson wanted to build something affordable for the passionate without the deep pockets.

So Mitch I just found your chanel today, I'm excited.. would love a background video, like when/where did you get your rotary wing experience? Why did you get out of them into paramotors ? Do you also have multi engine ifr ratings for fixed-wing? (I'm guessing you are maybe navy/airforce trained).

How much did it cost to build? What kind of range? I am interested in one? Was thisa kit or did you build it from scratch?❤ How many horsepower is your motor? I remember seeing in the 1980's popular mechanics had a version of one thatt was a backpack style without the tail rotor. They just used a tilt rotor system to go forward/ backwards/ side to side!

[@livium2514]

Mitch, can you elaborate a bit about: the time you put into it from "a sketch" to actually built time and the approximate about of money spent? Are you inspecting stress points, wear points and overall structural integrity after every flight? How much time are you putting into it weekly... for those minutes of flying, testing, etc. I know the pleasure and fulfillment you got/get from this it is priceless in itself... but just curiosity. I assume that what we see here is not an average guy the Nike type "Just do it"😅 This is serious knowledge and craftsmanship...

[@AmirTaghinia]

NASA, NORAD, TESLA, and now Lilium have spent millions, if not billions to solve the issue of transportation. Yet Mitch, just another American dude, builds his own flying machine and works great. it is so simple, and sook amazing. just wear safety gear, if you are concerned. I am a sport bike rider and fly paragliders, but would absolutely feel safer operating and flying this machine! when are you going to go public with your stock shares? I wanna be one of the early buyers of your stocks!

It fascinates me to wonder how you trim the Tip Path Plane? It looks perfectly balanced with both blades in the same plane? In the Air Force the choppers had super complex devices for tracking our rotor blades.

[@MitchG]

This was done the old fashion way. One blade tip painted red, the other painted green allows you to visually see which blade is higher or lower. Then you adjust the pitch link half a turn and run it up again to see if its tracking properly.

[@BrianNicolich]

Really hot days have higher "density altitude" and that will make your engine run rich. During the winter months "density altitude" is lower and the mixture will be normal.

[@greenway2.0]

you can add some thick gaskets between carb and engine block to prevent heat transfer. All best engines have this.
