More on the Mosquito helicopter here www.composite-f...
Still at Composite FX. In this video we get a brief run-through on how to operate the Mosquito helicopter. We do a cockpit flow, run up and startup of the turbine engine.
In the aircraft, You have your control stick, also known as the cyclic which is used to control the forward, backward and left to right movements of the aircraft. Also you have your collective handle bar which is used to gain lift all descend. The collective bar is also attached to the throttle.
In the panel, this helicopter is equipped with an MGL electronic flight information system. Here you can read and get all the data for your engine. You have a master switch on the lower right hand of the pilot.
Here is the full flight video of the Mosquito Helicopter ruclips.net/video/yhUXpddMu30/видео.html

How cost this device?
Why?
How much
See, this is something every flying enthusiast should have! Imagine just flying back and forth to work everyday.
I have enough trouble with people who allegedly "drive" back and forth to work every day.
your neighbors would be thrilled
@@sesarman Just to fly it back in forth to work. At 5am in the morning!
@@heartofthunder1440 unless you live on a farm and work at a ranch (they're very loud) Not possible in any suburban environment.
@@sesarman Don’t sound to much louder than the straight pipes that’s on my Harley Davidson. But, yeah I see what your saying. Still would be a pretty good thing to have, especially if a person is into this sorta stuff. A perfect use for it would be a type of a drone with a camera or video equipment on the front of it. You could put together some real nice media for just about anything.
First time I've actually heard an explanation of how to start/fly a helicopter. It is pretty complicated but I guess if you do it a dozen times or so it'll become second nature-good vid.
The flow didn’t sound that complicated and there’s probably a checklist on how to do it on hand. That’s how airplanes are.
Uh, are you for real? I have been flying these for over 30 years and still need assistance on startup.
@@meintingles4396 Sounds like you should have quit a long time ago.
@tom-zs6db sounds like you should have shut your sewer and not assume you matter, a long time ago.
Whenever I fly in helicopters, I’m always so impressed with how good the pilots are at what they do.
YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD, OR YOU WON'T LIVE TOO LONG.
I wouldn't be too impressed till the engine fails and everybody onboard survives the landing.
@@Cryptonymicus you learn to auto rotate before you even get a private
I just kept thinking: Whatever you do dude, don't stand up straight.
It would be very easy to forget if your mind was elsewhere. You'd never do it twice though.
It’s scary.
it isnt just a helicopter...
it also doubles as a decapitator..
So true.. Me too..😆
Missing a head .Lol
As a “lefty” I love that the control arm is centered, explained very well, thank-you for this share!
Collective: I'm gonna end this man's whole career.

I like at 5:28 the pilot just reaches out and grabs his helmet...lol...no biggie...awesome vid
Great teaching ability. Loved it. Best explanation of a turbine start I've heard.
I just can imagine waking up and doing my routine and just going for like a 2 hour drive around my city, and going to my friends house.
Me too
Es hermosa esa máquina
i love how he isnt shaming him for not knowing certain things, he is so nice!
Normal human behaviour good to see
@@Crazytimewins always is!
Wow I never knew I needed a single seat helicopter in my life until this moment lol. I know what I’ll be googling later 😆
I felt like Nemo's dad getting instructions from that little baby turtle.... I dont know what he's saying...but the chopper is so darn cute 😍 ☺
First, this turbine Mosquito may just be the ultimate expression of flight. It's what we all dream of, but- is somewhat outside of the fixed wing focus of most beginner pilots. The concept of lifting off, hovering and controlled flight in it is straight up AWESOME. Wierd, but, practicing power off landings (auto rotate) in a $50k experimental scares the life out of me! So, as exciting, cool and great as it seems- I'll watch you, OK? Apparently, middle age and self preservation prevent me from truly considering a Mosquito, Mike. Obviously, thank you- I'll watch every minute you post up on it!
Thank you!
Honestly- a personal helicopter with enough power & strength (Mosquito XEL) is incredibly tempting. Heck, it even sounds right, and, it definitely looks awesome, but, i think the glide ratio is, umm ZERO. Thanks to Mike's interest, I checked out some other videos of them in flight- very agile and capable in the right hands. I get completely stuck with the possible falling out of the air- OK- stopping descent using hard or immovable objects- i.e. the ground. Parachute? Airbag? I even watched auto- gyro vids in an effort to overcome it- I'm just too old. Sooo tempting, but... I sense that I'm gonna have to watch you & Mike post up videos, maybe even come & watch some time, but, gravity, fear of heights, an over-developed sense of self-preservation, total wimpiness prevent me from flying one- under any circumstances. Promise to cheerlead from the sidelines tho in my ground based lawn chair, OK? I DID a helicopter trip into the volcanos in Hawaii years ago... I'm out. More seat time for you tho :)
Actually if you get the proper training and understanding how to maintain them not any more risk then owning any type of GA aircraft notice how I say GA reality is all GA has some risk try to manage it with proper training. The cost and build time is what is really good the problem I see is getting a PPL rating for helicopters according to website $15k is what they charge. If you register the thing with the FAA can land at most airports. Autorotating is safer then trying to find a place to land a Cessna. You should go take an intro flight training and have them do some auto's and explain how it works.
Thank you blastman8888- I agree wholeheartedly. I was so interested, I did a ton more research, watched a lot of auto-rotate vids (and Mosquito's specifically), so, now I 'get' the over rev clutch, inertial rotor mass concept and just how much energy gets stored. I'm a strong project starter, but, get easily distracted on long ones, so, I would have to buy used, or, mostly complete (at a steep discount either way!). I thought it was less expensive if you have your PPL (more like an added certification + training + rental)- because that's real money as well. In my research, I noted a 500 TBO, but- unsure of what's involved, or, costs. Fixed wing is an expensive hobby, even after the hump of obtaining your PPL. Buying is whole new world of cash flow, even if you are super careful. Apparently, I'm now both a wimp & to Yankee (cheap) to consider a Mosquito. But, hey- it was a ton of fun learning about it & fun to dream about. I guess I'd like to see an R22, or, a Schweitzer 300 in action- just to get a feel for noise, rotor wash, size in person...
@@Mike-01234 I bet they won't hire you as occasional pilot (so you can pay for it after) just because you have a license (like trucking) unless you build lots of hours with your own helicopter?
in 4k, this is simply beautiful. wish this video included him flying. hopefully the next video is in 4k as well
I always wanted this when I was like 5 cause of my imagination of being in the army😂
Hahahaha
So I'm not the only one 😅
I'm 34 and I wish I had one now. I would still pretend I was in the army and doing all kinds of krayzie cool missions lol
This is a cleaned up Heli Cycle, which was home built. The developer was killed in one. They speculate he had a heart attack and not an aircraft failure. Is the mosquito home built or ready built, test flown and safety checked. The heli cycle was a phased build with inspections and approval as you progressed with the build. I was just about ready To buy and start building then the company's owner accident occurred. My wife stopped the whole endeavor when that happened.
Why cutting the video when the action begins?!?!?!?!?!?
because it exploded
@condor67 here is the demo flight video ruclips.net/video/yhUXpddMu30/видео.html
You want be blown away from heli by wind from rotating wings eh? Then be first one which films from outside when heli takes off
Girls 10
because it only flies a distance of 10 yards at 2 yards height
6:17 just incase you want see the takeoff straight away.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You mean just go to the end of the video.
Thanks
From Russia. Этот мужик просто крут. Безопасных полетов
And the neighbors used to hate it when he started his Harley...

Where did you get this neat little toy
I always thought it was slightly strange that people duck under the rotors of larger helos but this is one you sure better not forget to.

Hi
How many of you were cringing when the guy was moving around the helicopter while the blades were spinning?
there was adequate clearance
Yes!
LOL I should have turned the volume down for that
scary 😳
Just incase it wobbles or something then imagine
Legend has it that he is still switching buttons on and throttling 😂
I would have forgot, needs a saftey. Most dangerous thing I have EVER seen
You should get a couple hours in a helicopter. The R-22 is probably the cheapest aircraft to learn in. Gives you a whole new perspective to aviation. Sort of like beating the air into submission. I have a little over 2000 hours in Huey's and Blackhawks. It is a very versatile aircraft but so expensive to operate.
Great explanation! I love helicopters and look forward to flying some day. I even hope to help in some rescue capacity. I didn't even know these existed!
I love the look of this little helicopter to me I think it would be the absolute perfect thing for people who own large pieces of property like ranch or even for border security you could put many helicopters of this size in a hanger and they would make up for a large one plus you can have more people in the air and at such a huge less expense of maintaining a large helicopter such as a bell
If your tall and forgot stand up straight. Chop chop..
That dude crouched down below the helicopter gave me a scare
Without a doubt, rotary wing guys are a special class of folks. :D
Most Helicopter accidents happen during the initial start up. I worked at an airport and saw 2 that had their engines explode before taking off. I would say 5' off the ground and BOOM !!! They just blew up and fell hard on the ground. Nobody was hurt
😂😂😂😂😭😭😂
Very cool to see how this bad boy works! It would be awesome to have some more footage of it in flight.
I own one of these and i can't explain it to you how awesome it feels to Fly it to your College . Not even a Ferrari can match Its SWAG!!!!
Excuse my empty pocket, can I know it's cost? Although I know that the cost of owning a license of heli pilot is so faraway from my imagination! But the heart imagines what it wants😄
Make some content on ur channel bro. Seriuosly just short 1min is enough
I want this for my daily commute to work.
Great video. Thanks
hi from Mexico! that mosquito helicopter is something else!
THIS IS MY IMAGINATION WHEN I WAS CHILD IN 2000. THIS ONE AND MINI JET. IN 2018 MY IMAGINATION GOING TO REAL! THANKS
Had the same imagination as child in 1975!
My neighbors would never wake up to this while I fly off to work.
It feels so weird that when I watch any kind of video that involves heights in or on buildings my fear of heights kicks in and freaks me out big time. However I can watch videos about flying all day long and not feel a single ounce of fear.
That pilot is a paragon of patience and knowledge. His face tells some tales and I mean that with the utmost respect and admiration. And pardon my forwardness but please get checked for parkinson's if you haven't already.
That is one sweet ass little chopper. Mount a couple of 5.56 mini guns on each skid and you are in business !!
Getting helicopters started is a lot more complicated than I thought. :-O LOL
Me2
That's a great idea to have a bunch of huge mature trees around where you take off.
Don't be a little bitch
@@caseywilliams4322 Juan

Haha seems complicated but remember your first time getting into a piston and watching the instructor start it or that look when you take a passenger up for the 1st time and go through your start checklist. Its all learnable.
You don't memorize checklists. Unnecessary risk to forget items. Even the most seasoned pilots will read them from a list.

bull shit
By time he goes thru the starting procedures, I'm ready for a nap
😴😴😴😂
I was thinking the same thing is so much you have to know but I'm sure it's not impossible to learn
I was worried that gentleman might stand up straight.

Probably his first hair cut since cv19

*Parabéns! Excelente equipamento, logo comprarei o meu!*
Ué eu não entendi porque que tem a bandeira do Brasil nenhum vídeo gringo ?
I loved the Brazilian flag on the helicopter, it was powerful.

You're going to hell .......HELL
Cool! That small jet engine is an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) used to start the hydraulic system in a CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Once the engines of the Chinook are started and running, the APU is turned off.
Lol it's pretty funny seeing that linux/unix bootup screen on the EFIS panel
What I would really love to see from Composite FX is an electric mosquito. Something redundant, with 5 small brushless motors. That would be 3 for the main rotor and 2 for the anti torque. They could mount those main motors up high by the swashplate and the 2 on the back can go far back in the tail boom. Then the battery pack can go where the fue tank is in the 285. All that space can be used for battery banks. That would give it a lot of extra space behind the pilot, allowing the fuselage to be extended a little back for storage capacity. Tell this to Composite FX. The technology is there a d there is a lot of advantages by going electric including the huge sound reduction this thing will have.
Hello, a guy from the internet here to ruin everything 2 years late. Even today with improved batteries gasoline is about 100 times more energy-dense than lithium-ion. Granted electric converts at around 70% efficiency in a good system while gas turbines are around 15% efficient. Let's ignore the 5 electric engines' weight vs one turbine (its actually in favor of the turbine). Energy density alone is the reason you don't see an electric mosquito. Gas is the way to go for power to weight until a battery reaches about 1/5th the energy density....or about 20 times better than what we currently have. In 2022 the Jetson and the SkyDrive are starting to make what you are describing but the same energy density issue makes their range significantly reduced and their cost significantly increased.
@@Hierax415 thanks for your reply. I had forgotten about my comment already. I preffer electric for the sole reason of sound reduction. Electric planes are way less noisy than their oiston engine or turbine counterparts.
@@P_double_H What electric planes?
I like the aircraft, I like the way the owner talks, no hesitation, information flow......I must own one!!
Wow I wasn't expecting it to be a turbine.
Nice but I would like to see inside cockpit as he starts up and takes off thanks guys
Nice little copter chopper. The trend seems to be smaller and smaller craft and with new technologies even smaller jet and turbine engines.
Vi que tem uma Bandeira brasileira NICE sou apaixonado por este Heli já a muito tempo
I love it. It's glorious.I wish I could afford it and knew how to fly it.
I'm thinking that perhaps flying underneath all those trees is not such a good idea.
Raymond Edge and walking under the blades
Just saying, we are just about to hit 2020 and you have to do how many things just to get this thing running? DANG!!!
With rotor hight being low would be kinda neat to put a high powered lazor pointer in the tip of the blade pointing a few degrees out so you could see the blade diameter while close to the ground and around people. It could even be done with a fiber optic so it would not add any weight at the rotor tip.
and then send it flying through the air and hit someone
From 04:45 onwardb, I was just fearing that the helping man doesn't stand straight upward.
First time flying it...In the middle of all those trees...perfect
It’s like renting a chain saw from Home Depot, now that he explained it you can fly it

1. Is a special license required to operate?
2. What is the range one can fly on a full tank?
3. What is the cost?
4. Are the training programs to learn how to fly?
Thanks...
Roger, Tower, you have clearance to land in your back yard. 🎧🚁
Someone is thinking how cool it would be to put a LS engine in there
F165 with a big turbo
By the time the pilot sat in the cockpit I had already forgotten everything he said......
The start sequence on turbine engines has vastly improved, he's using old school tech, but hey, that's part of the fun with mini stuff.
Probably the most efficient way to trim the trees surrounding your launch pad, multiple purpose!
Flag of the Brazil! Awesome!
You'll have the life expectancy of a mosquito flying that contraption.
Really cute, though the blades would be a guillotine for tall pilots should they forget and stand upright.
bam and ketchup appears
No leaving the Mosquito until total shutdown.
I love this helicopter for real I want to get inside of it for real
The zombies could have eaten that dude down to the bones by the time he finally got that helicopter off of the ground, lol.
there are no zombies
What is its cost in Indian currency
Abt 6 to 7 million in Indian rupees
A great little machine, but the start sequence is crazy complex. It could probably be automated.
it could be but it would just make it more expensive. It's not difficult for the pilot once you learn how. Start spinning the engine, spark it up, send fuel and watch it burn. The only reason your car starts up with the turn of a key/button is to make sure that every idiot in the world can get in one and go without any training.
Cod Mott good point!! Great point in fact!!! Just imagine every idiot being able to just fire up a copter. Hop in and give it a lucky try? From what I’ve seen. Flying a helicopter is quite a bit of schooling. I would imagine that by the time you get to start one up. You understand the workings of the engine completely. Maybe in wrong. Hahah I obviously do not fly anything. Except maybe paper airplanes
@@codmott286 no , cars start with just a turn of the key since always .
Turn the key turns power for the battery to the starter ,fuel used to be mechanical pump , and a draft carburetor , simple ,not efficient ,now its computeriezd .
The electric pump is powered on with the turn of the key . You or anyone alive can not compute the fuel injection and other parameters for the engine multiple times per second . Genious .
@@boracay12 thats exactly the point I made idiot, that starting a car "manually" is too complex for most people, so they automated the entire process. A trained pilot does not require such automation therefore it is cheaper to make things a bit more manual to avoid unnecessary complex start mechanisms.
@@codmott286 i guess for a idiot like you understanding that starting a car is basic and nothing to do with programming to help the average person feed power to a starter . The heli start up procedure is NOT designed to keep untrained people from starting it .
Dumb ass ,its for saftey of the equipment .
These things are surprisingly inexpensive, all things considered. This model shown, the XET, is basically the company top of the line. The kit (not fully assembled) is about 44k, while the factory completed version is 55k. But honestly the XE285 is almost identical in all respects, with the key difference being fuel burn, and therefore flight time. The XET with the basic 12gal tank has a 1hr flight time, which can get to 1.9hr if you have the aux.tank for a total of 20gal. The XE285 on the other hand has the same tanks but basically doubles the flight time. And it has virtually the exact same specs otherwise.
A 3-4hr flight time is certainly respectable, but the basic tank with an XET giving you 1hr flight time? That's kind of piddly all things considered....
Very nice! Only a few people that actually manufacture it in their shop, with the option of the purchasing customer to build it in their shop! Simple swash-plate mechanism; not the traditional swash-plate under the rotor head, but above it. Ie, pitch mechanism: linkage, control horn, swash-plate is actually located in the bottom of the torque tube where the drive shaft for the main rotor is located. Would love to see a close up of this.
6:17 my name is giovanni giorgio but everybody calls me giorgio
Why hás a brazilian flag in that??
Made in brazil???
Pelo que ele diz no vídeo a fábrica dele é na Florida, e eles fazem eles por demanda já que é um empresa relativamente iniciante no mercado, então é bem provável que o modelo demonstrado no vídeo seja de um cliente brasileiro.
Yes sir, it’s a Brazilian Project. It’s made in USA, but the project itself is brazilian.
Tem a bandeira do Brasil, yes top🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😎
Por que tem uma bandeira do Brasil no helicóptero?
Pq é fabricação nossa.
