Mosquito XE, Composite FX, Single Seat Part 103 Ultralight or Experimental Aircraft Helicopter.

[@citizenblue]

As a large scale RC heli guy, I REALLY want this helicopter!

[@kill-em-deadairgunner]

You and me both my brother!

[@vladimator1842]

You, Me, and the other Guy who replied to you too, we all want a toy like this! I live in New York City, so there will definitely be some issues concerning the allowable fly zones, however, I'm less concerned about that since i can have those parameters figured out, but as of this moment, i only got around $41k available, so there has to be some more waiting game put into this mission of acquiring one of these toys lmao!! And I'ma surprise my old friend with it by landing it right in his backyard lol, without even letting him know it's me.. 😆😆

[@stealhty1]

No time to lose , we only live one ,,AOPA will finance you

[@truescalefpv4089]

Puting 1:1 pilot in there? Or you getting in😅😅?

[@TFOTLITBOK_P1_7]

Easier to fly the full scale than my ergo 60 sport lol

[@chloehennessey6813]

Cogged belts are used in NHRA drag racing. These machines are pushing north of 12,000 HP, 13,000 torques. The belts are used to run the super charger- which by itself takes 800-900 HP to turn to produce the boost wanted. If they can handle that amount of HP they can handle the 100 HP or so here I would think.

[@scubatrucker6806]

Cool . I love the pontoon addition idea

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Great interview and footage. Really impressed with the autorotation capabilities.

[@ackack612]

....a great lead-in Dan, very strong and the editing was more than up to the task. I thought this was just a very informative and interesting vid. Very nice! And thx!

[@foesfly3047]

I couldn't give up my EAB Light Sport airplane to have one of these but I sure would like to add the turbine engine model to my 'fleet". Especially if I owned and lived on acreage in a rural area, this would so totally Rock!

[@unclemikecruz]

Great presentation and information to know.

[@johndamascus2634]

R.I.P. John. Awesome helicopter.

[@PaulAnthonyDuttonUk]

Exciting and more over seems very accessible..

[@LarrySMednick]

That was a very interesting interview. Well explained and some amazing flying.

[@PaulAnthonyDuttonUk]

Thought so as well..

[@billquillin1952]

Fascinating!

[@paulovalerioalves4680]

Gorgeous Machine…. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@martinleicht5911]

Gotta get 1 !! 👍

[@brucepeppinck9988]

Looking forward great 👍 flying 😊

[@davidcauthen8999]

Luv it

[@sarcamahardika]

So nice🚁

[@ridingdeep8530]

How well does this airframe work at high DA (density altitude)? Our airfield is at 5,666ft on a warmer day we can be at 9k DA, would it's performance allow that? I am Commercial Rotor pilot, it'd be awesome to just go enjoy flying - beyond work.

[@music4ever1981]

I wonder if cutting away sections of the tail boom's composite body would lower the weight enough to allow for doors to be added on the XEL, and still be Part 103 compliant. There should be enough composite material left in the tail boom for structural rigidity.

[@HendraWSN77]

Amazing video..

[@TristanMorrow]

Very cool! This heli is everything that my inner 10-year old desires lol

[@solomonstello]

Does any of the Mosquito line helicopter motors have throttle body's?

[@chrisvilleneuve3089]

I'm very interested I have some questions. I live in northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 and winters are cold Heating system and doors. I also live on the lake, so pontoons are a must. 2 passenger as well. I also have other questions Looking forward to chatting with you

[@bogdanrotaru6101]

is this thing flyable in europe? EASA certificate on it?

[@cuttheloop]

Damn... I want one.

[@aseredy]

they really took weight reduction serious on the Mosquito... that dude wasnt even wearing pants.

[@TheRotorhound]

What dropped at 7:50?

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Good eye..really cannot tell but to me it looks like a bird dropping down.

[@arcanondrum6543]

Yup. The turd killed a bird. I've flown lots since I was a kid. I learned that if something looks like it isn't moving in your windscreen, it means that you're on a collision course with it. I DON'T like people that continually buzz areas of habitat. Flying is already fun and it is a quick means of transportation. Be RESPECTFUL of all living things above and below.

[@seanraymond5590]

I want and will own one shortly

[@ogollabenicko]

Hello, I'm architect ogolla from Kenya, I like this Mosquito XE, Composite FX, Single Seat Part 103 Ultralight, or Experimental Aircraft Helicopter. how much is it, and how can it reach me here in Kenya? again, where is the contact that I can reach you easily??

[@jeremy05sti]

What’s the range on one of these???

[@ultralightnews]

As an ultralight about an hour. As an experimental aircraft depending on power plant about 4 hours.

[@georgedoolittle9015]

@@ultralightnews seems pretty nice to have around the farm for "crop surveillance."

[@ken0269]

Where do they make these ?

[@ultralightnews]

Florida.

[@gunner49er]

Have you tried filling th pontoon s with helium?

[@Patriottoo2]

Helium in pontoons might flip the craft upside-down.

[@kosmasargiropoulos9339]

Why not use button snap final doors removable

[@johnnybumpous9108]

what if you filled the pontoons with helium? that would make it a little lighter wouldn't it ? lol

[@terrycollins6392]

Me to❤

[@KitfoxPilot]

Did you get a price for the turbine model? Nice looking units.

[@DanJohnsonAffordableAviation]

$95,000 complete with factory build assist. Kit around $75K. Both subject to change but both are relative bargains.

[@gunner49er]

Rate of climb?

[@crawford323]

The little buggers a loud!

[@outlawflyer7868]

Put that turbo in a cessna 150

[@stealhty1]

So, I have to be baldy to buy a Helicopter ?

[@dwightherrington7793]

What about the rain

[@CaptainCurt07]

✅Dan never heard about BRS ?

[@tjdave9521]

BRS shutes advert AUD$17,500 + 40hrs fit on cessna172, 182 plus installation. Remember movie,Gods must be crazy, cool,hilarious in movie. Should be on all LSA where possible as seem affordable more so if built-in design. Always hard to be sure which currency is quoted

[@coldsmoker9387]

I can almost afford a match big enough to put it on

[@robertspivey46]

Trust me when I say these things “ARE NOT” affordable price friendly as they say.

[@EricB]

Feel free to share supporting information.

[@tnatola1]

For a real helicopter it is super affordable, I've found used ones in great shape from 20k to 33k. It's cheaper than buying a new suv. I'm 1.7 years from getting one in savings.

[@professorvoluck9311]

@tony natola Not with the turbine.

[@paulwatkins2333]

Did he just say you don’t need a pilot licence ? Hahah

[@shanejones578]

You don’t in the us, for any aircraft that has less than 65 mph capacity, 248 lbs I believe and something else but yes there’s legitimate aircraft that do not require a pilots license

[@beardedbeastmetalmilitia4604]

Yall are only 10 minutes from me do yall do flying lessons also?

[@deanmiles3505]

How is $42,000 affordable? Very nice aircraft that I would love to build and fly but out of most persons budget.

[@TristanMorrow]

Ultralight that's cheaper? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ultralight_helicopters

[@Mike-01234]

They used to be in the $20k's a kit for the piston model last few years they started gouging their customers same thing with Kitfox, and others. Problem is backlog of customers allowing these small number of kit builders to charge whatever they want. I get it supply and demand maybe with the uptick in sales others will start selling kits. These builders after years of building their business's can finely make some real money. This is the problem with most aviation kit builds used to be the alternative to certified which was lower cost for average guy no longer the case. Now to get into the air in the 20k range down to ultralights IMO nothing should cost 42k with a 2 stroke piston engine.

[@deanmiles3505]

It's the same thing with hanger rental. It is getting so only the wealthy will be able to have an aircraft. The northeast is over $339 a month for a small hanger. Some are the open style. They also prevent you from sharing the space. It's ridiculous... Take care, Be safe.

[@georgedoolittle9015]

You can go full on Tucker Gott absolutely!

[@mouthbreather280]

It’s affordable for being a helicopter. If this is out of your price range then a fully featured full size helicopter is way out of your budget because those can be well north of 100k.

[@horstebreedow8608]

He'll no I'm not getting in a r44 to learn to fly.

[@thefirefenix7194]

[@jaytomson7052]

He might be German, no surprises here. Buy one for fun.

[@biblethumpr2161]

Got to have a 2 seater or you need a divorce lawyer..

[@paulovalerioalves4680]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@shanejones578]

Yeah but then you need a private pilots license

[@dibyendu2roy404]

🇮🇳🛕👍🙏

Cool
