^ Watch this entire series here ^
EPISODE 1 - In this video we take a look at the Mosquito Air, the worlds smallest helicopter. It is extremely impractical and hard to find but is ALOT of fun. I also give my thoughts on how this could be potentially a little practical and safe. This is also my first video on this channel so I really hope you enjoy it. Also check out mosquito's website for some of there other cool helicopter models.

Excellent work, strongly support your hardworking.

Hey James Cooper - this is Glenn Cooper - and I've been really enjoying your channel. Great content, factual, and interesting.

[@nategoodwin3329]

This is why I fly paramotors. Its purely for fun and if the engine quits...oh well. I love the idea of having a small helicopter, I'm not sure I could justify the risk profile with young children though.

Great video. Thanks.

Enjoying your show

Cool thanks awsome vid.

[@CaptCamel]

when registered as an experimental, you can increase your fuel load. though there are many other more practical mosquitos, that just dont fall under the part 103. they do however have one other model that falls under this categorym, the mosquito xel

Gyrocopters were promoted heavily in the late 60's, I remember sales people doing demonstrations in Supermarket parking lots.

It’s a great time builder. If the engine quits it’s like any other helicopter. It autorotates.

[@BlueMax333]

a Pilots licence is not mandatory to fly a FAR Part 103 aircraft but it makes sense to obtain training to solo standard. In fact, Composite-FX, the manufacturer, won't let you take delivery unless proof of training can be shown

[@RelativeMotionCC]

"it makes sense to obtain training to solo standard." Sorry just trying to understand exactly. Are you saying they require you to take solo helicopter lessons as well as the 103 license?

[@BlueMax333]

@@RelativeMotionCC To fly a FAR Part 103 aircraft a licence is not required. Composite-FX requires the buyer to take training to solo standard. I guess they are safety conscious and also wish to protect the reputation of their products.

What do I need too build one

[@gymkhanadog]

2 strokes are very reliable. What in the word gives you the notion that they aren't??

[@ericeller9165]

The engine lasts fifty hours. 🤷

[@brandonberg7703]

If you get the fuel to oil ratio off more than once you will scare the piston and piston walls. The carp jets will clog up, faulty spark plugs and constant crap adjustment. You will have to do a much more maintenance check then a 4 stroke engine.

[@gymkhanadog]

@@brandonberg7703 Then don't mess the ratio up if you're using premix... If screwing up premix is a regular thing that, you definitely find another hobby because you aren't detail oriented enough to fly. Many people go their whole lives never screwing up premix fuel. I've NEVER screwed up pricing 2 stroke fuel for anything, because I pay attention to the ratios. It's very, very, very simple. And if you have an oil injection system, there's no need to worry about it so long as everything is maintained. Never had a faulty spark plug on a dirt bike or snowmobile, or any other 2 stroke equipment. Only carb gumming is due to letting old fuel sit. There is little to no adjustments over time that are any more onorous than a 4 stroke. In-fact, a 4-stroke is worse due to many more moving parts. Timing chain adjustment, valve adjustment, and valve springs can fail.

[@gymkhanadog]

@@ericeller9165 50 hours for rebuilt. Not really outrageous.

[@felexiaf8088]

How much its cost

[@winsor68]

There is a reason they don't make these any more. It takes a lot of knowledge to fly one of these successfully. And you don't do it for any practical reason. Fotunately KZbin is a good enough practical reason so we get to see the amazing rare people who are successfully flying one.

[@ianwalton284]

I'm having nightmares about these things.

[@codmott286]

While you certainly can never overstate experience, you really dont need 40 hours of flight time to be a safe and competent pilot. Thats just to get a license to ensure you can follow the rules, fly at night, read a map, navigate controlled airspace, etc etc etc. Most pilots become self-sufficient after about 8 hours so any time building beyond that is just money in the bank.

[@RelativeMotionCC]

Sorry for the late response! I somehow missed this one. I would agree you can hand all of the controls to most students by around 8 hours but I think we can both come to agree on your statement you sure cannot overstate experience! and to me with helicopters especially, safety is just always my top priority. That's the biggest reason for my opinion

[@ats-3693]

Yeah but fixed wing and rotary wing are two very different things, I'm not sure if you have any experience with flying helicopters but just jumping into one with no training and attempting to even just take off would basically be suicidal, I mean obviously this is potentially true for any aircraft, but a helicopter is totally unforgiving and it takes a lot of practice before a person can balance the collective, cyclic, rudder, and power simultaneously well enough to be able to even lift off and hover without just instantly destroying the machine and himself.

[@codmott286]

@@ats-3693 thats why i said 8 hours and not 8 minutes

[@ats-3693]

@@codmott286 of side by side instruction in a dual control heli you mean? Here in Aus you need minimum 20hrs dual + minimum 10hrs solo + minimum 15hrs cross country and a total minimum time of 40hrs to get rotary PPL, and it usually takes at least 15hrs dual before a person is considered competent enough to solo. The relevant bit here is the 15hrs dual that is considered necessary for most people before being competent enough to fly a helicopter solo.

[@codmott286]

@@ats-3693 you're talking about licensing requirements, I'm talking about reality. Someone could learn to fly in 3 hours if they're really sharp, but of course regulators dont care and have mandatory minimums for safety reasons.

[@larryrodziewicz8437]

They still make Mosquitos but not the Air Model anymore.

[@TruFrag]

100% not about experience. Its more about that "click" Once your brain finely makes that connection of action vs movement. Flying a helicopter isnt that bad. Getting to that point of being able to have it just "click" is the hard part. Simulation helps greatly in my experience but there are actual flight training models you can get that tether you to the ground and dont allow to you crash. I think the Mosquito could actually make a perfect tethered training craft, and with its extremely basic control scheme it would put you into the position of jumping into almost any bird with the ability to understand the basics of flight. From the first moment, my home built tethered trainer took off completely from the ground and learning to maintain and control hover. Less than 2-hours. My father who was a fixed wing pilot took about a week, but he described it the same way, IT was just a kind of click, and then it just made sense and was almost second nature. Its more then learning to fly the craft, though. So much more. Laws and becoming a Weather forecaster are just another two things you need to be really good at... and how to you know... not die .

[@cquilty1]

If engine failure occurred at a considerable height, it really would be a terrible demise. Imagine the terror, panic and fear of your last few moments on earth.

[@Nonflushableturd]

In any helicopter this would be true ?

[@cquilty1]

Nonperishablecurd Why the question mark? And what exactly are you talking about?

[@HobkinBoi]

This is a helicopter; it's capable of autorotation. It's like gliding but with rotors.
