I work at a cooling tower factory in Oklahoma. We use a sea can for a storage conex. Pallets of fiberglass and double pallets with what us old folks call pasteboard. Shoebox material. When the laminating booth needs ‘cardboard’, I have to set me a metal ramp up to get my forklift in and out, then, unload all the fiberglass, back out two long pallets of cardboard, then put the fiberglass pallets back in, trying to leave the ones I know we’ll be using soon nearest the entrance. Then I have to put the ramp away. To move the fiberglass pallets I use a manual pallet jack. It’s tedious, but it ain’t bad.
These people are some of the most talented and hard working people you will ever meet. A level of ingenuity and freedom that's been lost in this county for the most part in small business. This helicopter is the most fun aircraft I've ever flown. Most importantly, these are some of the finest people you will ever meet. They don't make them like this anymore. A real global crown Jewel in my opinion. The guys and gals at the mosquito factory are what make Trenton FL one of my favorite places in the entire world.
Hey Brian, I worked at one of the oldest and largest power sports dealerships in Indiana. New Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki and used Harleys. Back in the 90’s we had 200-300 used motorcycles on hand about all the time. We had a dealer friend in Hawaii that would come over and buy 40-80 used bikes every summer. We could fit 40 street bikes in one 40 foot shipping container. We put the first row of 20 bikes in and strapped down. Then used 4x4’s for legs and 2x4 cross bracing with 1/2in plywood for a second deck. We had a special platform built to lift bikes up to the second deck. We would push bikes in and slide the rear tire around so all bikes was strapped down sideways on each level. We could load 20 bikes on each level. Hawaii only gets so many new bikes a year to their dealerships. So that means used bikes bring a premium. We sold Big Island Yamaha 1-2 containers every year through most of the 90’s. He was paying us close to retail, plus had to pay a import tax and still made good money. I remember him saying he made on average $100-$125k on each container. That was a lot of money in the 90’s. We had to unhook all batteries and drain all the fuel to make the container legal to ship across the ocean. We never had one bike damaged in shipping that I remember. The container was hauled to Mobile Alabama and loaded on a ship, then the ship went through the Panama Canal. Each load took 4-6 weeks to get from Indiana to Hawaii. This video brought back memories of loading bikes and building floors in a shipping container. Cool video 🇺🇸🦅✈️
Fixed wing pilot here working for a helicopter company in US. Definitely going to get me the XET. Going to make the 82 mile commute in a helicopter soon 😀
I load 20’ & 40’ Ccans (as a transporting company). We use specialized equipment/ trailers to drop the Ccan at the customers’ location. We place the Ccan at ground level, which allows for easy loading g of product, then return hours/days/weeks later to retrieve it and then bring it to the ports for international logistics. Just another way of doing things.
These guys are something else. The helo they make is alr the neatest thing ever then the fact they operate just right down the road from my house is even more awesome!
I loaded 40’ trailers at a shoe warehouse. During the summer. I know it is hot. Another reason I ended up going to school to get a desk job to avoid the real work ;-)
Haha! Smart man! We have to get away from the computer (and desk ) once in a while and experience life outside the office. So little trips like this is very rewarding. Thanks for saying hello!
I've unloaded sacks of potatoes from a train car, worse job we had to do, potatos were in krocker sacks, 85 pounds each, horrible ever how you go to pick them up they want to go the other way, seems like your never getting it unloaded, usually took about 2 days. Loading semis with 65 lb bags of soybeans was a breeze comparatively , them were the days 🤩
most pilots can learn to fly a helicopter with 8-10 hours of professional training. This doesnt include disaster recovery, just the basics to safely fly with no surprises. Most of their models require a full helicopter pilots license, so about 60 hours of flight training which will cost around $20,000. They do have an ultralight version that requires no license at all.
It takes a lot of PRE planing to have all that Plywood fitted to the parts and ready to go... piece -o-cake........ bet I alone could do that in 1.4 hrs.
We've shipped and received a lot of large equipment via container. If we were able to make a subfloor we'd cleat stuff in place with blocks nailed into the floor. If not, we would lash crating to the D-rings on the inside top/bottom on the walls. I hope there was something else in there to keep the kits from sliding around besides the good planning. 🤑 Thanks for the video!
That subfloor was packed in there very tight. And then everything fastened to that. Wasn't much room left to "wiggle" around. Thank You for taking the time to watch!
I use to load trucks at UPS. Trailer would sit in the sun all day then I'd get to crawl in a 40 footer and load 650 pieces per hour as they came down the slide. So hot I'd start to hallucinate.
I am in brazil, but no one selling here 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. How can i buy one COMPOSITE XE 290 4 Temps. With 75 liters???? Please help. I knew that is selling by parts, and i fix it here, set it here

I loaded a 40' container full of weed once. We ran it up from the garden by the pickup truck load. The container was the drying room.
Haha! Well then! That was a unique EXPERIENCE!
Having loaded many a touring concert sound system,this seems pretty familiar and much lighter.
Rag weed?

Before I retired I worked at a shipping warehouse. Loading containers was a daily thing. And yes they get hot in the summer 🌞
I think I would prefer a mobile AC unit to be blowing in the door! Hah! Thanks for saying hello!
Wow!!! Please, keep up that good work💪💪💪

Well dang, as someone from Gainesville it's pretty cool to see Trenton getting on the map for such a cool thing! :)
Always loved these lil helicopters 👏🏻💯
Wow....right up the street from me......thanks for the vid. Blessings

I would love to get one of these helicopters one day. They look like so much fun
Looks to be a fairly simple kit to build as well! Thanks for stopping by today!
6:00 what's up with the windshields? are they just fiberglass, not cut out yet, or is it a protective covering?
and heh love "short bus".
They are not cut out yet

They’re so cool ! Little baby helos ! How difficult is it to learn to fly one of these ?

Must be the most profitable bussiness

Yeah? I'd like to see that. Can we build a challenge around YOU doing the work?! :-)
SURE (lol).😅
I'm very interested in which country this is from

Kool they are coming to Australia here, bet the price jumps up crazy compared to the US price with our dollar & freight.
YES! Headed to AUS! Sorry... hopefully the $ will align better soon. Thanks for watching here today!
Container after containers of rice bags for the locals in Iraq, it was so hot in there but we made the most out of it haha
what are the prices of these helicopters and how can they be obtained in the territory of the European Union
CHEERS FROM OZ.
I am in brazil, but no one selling here 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. How can i buy one COMPOSITE XE 290 4 Temps. With 75 liters???? Please help. I knew that is selling by parts, and i fix it here, set it here
How much it's price
I hope the turbine was strapped down because if it was just sat in there. There will not be any composite cockpits left by time it gets to Australia
Hah! Agreed 100%. No... it was secured to the floor for sure. Attention to detail... YOU would make a great Builder! :-)
Thought this was going to be about the helicopter. Or more about the helo than shipping.

I had to load AND UNload 20' containers in Vietnam back in the late '60's.
Salam alaikum dear friend 🙏❤️
Good to see shame not all the parts we’re in the container when they got to Australia

I wonder when they're coming out with their 2-place version.
That is a question WE KEEP ASKING too! No official news just yet.
Never. That was the brainchild of the late John Uptigrove.
