Started camera late. You missed some pedal turns and sliding. This starts with a couple of quick stops, a square pattern, 2 normal approaches and 2 autorotations
Flying Around Composite FX

Started the camera in flight. The large, barren field is just North of Composite FX. Flew a couple of laps around the facility and flew back in to complete the last checks. Aircraft is now good to go!
Test Flight for Fuel Control and Can Replacement

Finally completed troubleshooting the surge issue with the engine. Turned out to be the combustion section (we're supposing it was the fuel injectors). Aircraft is now 4.0 and ready to be transported to Coleman for 6 moths to complete the 40 hour fly-off. It has 7.1 on it now. This is the hover check flight. Performed some turns and some quick stops to check power recovery in high demand scenar...
My First Flight
Просмотров 9 тыс.4 года назад
My first flight on 10 January. I know I'm late, but between then and now I sold a house, bought a house, moved, and had my first grandchild. So give me a break! This flight is at an airfield about 10 miles from the Composite FX factory. I actually had 2 flights on this day and got to my 1 hour inspection time window.

Can you fly this craft in winter weather I would use this in a heartbeat
You can. It has doors that I haven't had in since i fitted them during the build. I'm lucky to be in Florida where a good set of thermals usually meets the warn requirement
Jesus u out of breath. U sound like u about to have a heart attack. No way I fly with u.
Awesome
Thanks
hello I would like to know if you like your helicopter and if it is a reliable machine I am used to flying certificates like the Robinson I would like to know if you fly often and what are your maintenance do you have a reference manual?

I had always flown regularly certificated aircraft instead of special certificated also. This aircraft is reliable. I haven't flown much this year, but that's been due to my medical availability and not the aircraft. Maintenance and inspections are pretty easy and can be done by the builder. Cost is very reasonable.
And you set up the maintenance cycle based on kit manufacturer recommendations. That is approved by the FAA as party of the special airworthiness certification process.
@@FlyNavy ok thanks a lot for the information if you ever think of selling your mosquito contact me I am interested

Like all toys, this one also surely becomes boring over time.
Flying a helo is never boring. Flying a single seat can be a little lonely sometimes.
@@FlyNavy If it so for you, then you have picked the right profession.
What is a max altitude it can reach
It is listed as 10k hoge and 12k high. I i haven't had mine above about 6k. Helos normally fly lower in VFR.
@FlyNavy I doubt he can go that high you need oxygen or epoxy will destroy you beyond 8,000 ft
@javadaghrab5687 According to the Navy, 10k is the oxygen required limit. According to the FAA, it's 12.5k. Never seen 8k listed anywhere.
How long does it take to learn to fly something like this with a good degree of confidence
@javadaghrab5687 The factory requires at least 10 hours of instruction or they charge a surcharge. Everyone usually recommends completing a safe for solo flight sign off at a minimum. That time can vary. I'm not sure of the particulars for a new pilot outside that. I had about 2k military helo hours when I started flying this.
Good always be safe
I always try to!
And does flight hours count in one of these?
Flight hours count in any certificated aircraft, including experimental. Turbine time counts in this. But I'm not sure how an employer would look at this for a job. I already had 2k turbine time in the military, so this is just add on time for me.
Is your pilot license just a regular pilot license?
I have a helicopter certificate. But from what I understand, since this is a single seat experimental, only a fixed wing certificate is required. But the factory requires at least safe for solo helo training or you pay extra.
Lock tight red and Blue are great
Or a ultralight plane
I want one
They are fun
Have to get a pilot license to get one of these.i have found that out doing research as well as training
It is certainly recommended.
You're getting a lot of feedback in the stick
I was. That's all gone once I found the source of the feedback.
This would be a great way to save money
It is much cheaper than a regular helo.
No pilot license do you have to pay for insurance?
For my model, you do have to have a pilot license. I have self insured mine. Insurance is astronomical
You could make your own bearings out bronze or an old leather belt
These bearings are too cheap on Aircraft Spruce to spend the time making your own
Cet bien l'hélicoptère, mayday mayday vous me recevez 😁
Very nice
I saw my church!!!!
@@Tommy.McLean Very cool.
Amen
Nice. Are small helicopters like this one harder to fly than bigger ones?
Nope. Same skill set. But not having the electric or hydraulic assist does make them a little touchier. Kind of like the difference in a 60s muscle car and a modern one.
3 years ago. I have a question.. Did you ever figure out the vibration and if so was it one blade that was not tracking perfectly with the other?
Turned out to be a sticking control rod through a poly bushing. I had not oblonged the hole enough.
@@FlyNavy Incredible.
I don’t think I’d wanna fly with that vibration.
I got it fixed.
simply wow...
This is a great video. I just flew over Belleview in MSFS2020 on hard settings in the Bell 407. Sure is a beauty up there. Flew from Leeward Air Ranch r/w 01, and you can guess where I landed :).
Sounds like fun. I love flying around here.
For real 👍
Is your airspeed indicator calibrated in Knots or MPH? looking forward to more videos
It's calibrated to MPH. It was a tough conversion for me.
What a lovely place to live, thank you for the tour. Does your helicopter have a turbine engine? 😎
It does.
You ever flown it in light rain? I wonder about the risk of flameout if water gets into the engine, also are you usually around 500-600 AGL for cruise? thx
I know it's been out and operating in VERY light rain. I don't think the issue is flaming out. The intake is pretty well shielded. All the electronics are exposed in the cockpit, and the wiring isn't sealed at the connections.
I would be so happy to be able to do that, have fun for both of us😊
@@Erxch I will. It's an enjoyable experience.
Can you tell me how much area of square or rectangle is required to safely land a Mosquito 2 seater helicopter because i want to buy and then i will keep it on terrace or roof of my house, is it safe or risky, if yes then where should i make the helipad instead of my terrace
There is no 2 seat Mosquito. To land mine safely, I need about 40 foot of clearance. Rotors are 22 ft and you need some extra room. Landing on your roof or terrace would be a question for your neighbors, HOA restrictions, or any local laws. But in any case, you would need to be able to cover it. It is not an all-weather aircraft.
@@FlyNavy Thanks Sir, as you said it's not all weather aircraft so i will make some type of Warehouse at my roof of dimensions 49ft x 49ft, but I don't know how much thrust helicopters will generate while taking off and landing, I'm afraid if it would break my walls of roof
So quick question when you’re making a left or right turn are you using your pedals Because I noticed your stick stays in about the same center position when turning
There is pedal required in a balanced turn in a helo.
Don't be sorry. 😊
Remember dryice for cooling and shut down.😊
Thumb toggle for power/torque velocity. 😊
That thumb toggle at the top of the cyclic is for collective friction lock
Nice and awesome. It almost lasted an Hour in the Air.😊
It has 1.7 hours of fuel, but i generally only may 1 hour. :)
🍒👋👌😊
Always going to have backing pressures
The feet turns the Frame The hands turns the mechanics???😢😊
Great place to grow fruit trees.😊
Sediments are thick and rich with natural Omega 3.😊
I would love some citrus trees. Trying to figure out where to put them so they don't interfere with my flight path.
Thanks for sharing.😊fyi You should get air bags that are punctured and fire proof within your machine.
Just incase of unexpected potential hazards.
Thanks for sharing.😊
Must be the down draft from your horizontal blades.😊
I noticed the vibrations in your angular stick.
2 control sticks would totally help your fears.😊
Good luck and have a safe and also happy flying.😊
Alright or all wrong😊
Good machine to have when you have to feed or water your livestock.😊
I bet. I don't have any of that though.
