@@ctsteve1967 Really? I took the Ground Course to obtain my pilot's license for nothing while in CAP. I couldn't afford the air time and then Vietnam entered my life, if you know what I mean.

I remember getting to fly a Cessna 172 about 1/2 way from Westchester County Airport, NY to New Hampshire landing at Grenier Air Force Base (now closed). I had a great time in CAP.
Wow .... that pilot has that chopper permanently glued to his ass. He was one with his machine . I saw complaints below as to why the pilot didn't take it up. to show it off. Why,,,, because it's ten times harder and more dangerous to fly that close to the ground, Dam , he flew under trees. Thank you for this video , It shows what this machine can do.
It would seem that the helicopter has more maneuverability being that low to a grassy surface because the downward airflow compresses as it has something below to push against. I was wondering if at a higher altitude the pilot would have the same control, response and lift.
@@Accumulator1 what your describing is known as ground effect. I am not a helicopter pilot, but I am a fixed wing pilot, I am quite familiar with this aircraft , I want one. I think I've seen almost all the videos made about it, this aircraft has amazing performance. The climb rate on the turbine model is around 3000 feet per minute, less in the piston model. The power that it has would allow it to have the same performance at 4000 feet as the performance you witnessed in this video. with helicopters performance dose decline with altitude but unless you live in the Rockies , you would never notice it.
The aircraft was in such a good control by the Pilot. I am amazed by the helicopter capabilities. Seems like a RC model, I dreamed of having a miniature aircraft this exactly looks like it. Good piece of engineering. Thanks 😁
PS. The end of 2020 will be my year to finally attain one. I have followed this and the Helicycle since their inceptions! This engine was originally designed for a single seat US Army contract that didn’t go through, so they put it in a power cart to recoup the R&D. I’m greatful for the T62 and the people who have made this possible! This machine will burn almost any type of well filtered 3rd world country fuel from what I understand. A Powerplant that can do that makes all these light helicopters more useful to more people worldwide. Turbines are sexy and the haters cant take that away from us, ha! Please put the turbine conversion into the new Swift! I cant wait to see that one! Wish someone would do a 3 seat helicopter kit. Great show Mike!
Yeah, waiting for this new 270 turbine that was recently developed. Don't know the name but MojoGrip was talking about it. Perfect for my kit build of a Sling High Wing or Bristell or Velocity. Still doing research on choice.
EXCELLENT Mini-Helicopters! Also affordable!! I have my helicopter license from many years ago. Let me see what my local laws are regarding having one of these Mosquito helicopters? They are awesome!!
I love helicopters and they're fairly new to me and now I think that one day I could possibly own a helicopter. 😀. Gyrocopters were the cheapest thing I'd seen before these but these are proper helicopters.
I think you should show this to the Aussies, they have thousands of small helicopters in the outback, by memory mostly Robinsons, this would suit them down to the ground!
How does the torque control on these things? Im surprised no training is required for these since blade stalls, torque, and ground affect are all things you need at least some experience with.
Can u tell me how can I learn how to fly from start to end I don't have the money that may require for such classes but I can get myself some books thank u
Wow... this is so cool! Would this be considered an ultralight? As far as I’m concerned ultralights don’t require pilots license to fly, a regular drivers license is all one needs.
where was this filmed? I love the trees and field. If you could just give the name of the city and state this was filmed in it would be great. Even the general part of the state would be great. Thanks in advance :)
I honestly don't know. Keep in mind that insurance on any civil aviation aircraft is an option. You're not legally obligated to have one, although it makes all the sense in the world to always insure your aircraft.
What for, nick? Imagine if this contraption had a couple of bug-eye, plastic doors and a plastic seat with armrests in the back. This thing will surely look like a mosquito and will sell like hot cakes.
it does, although a different variant of it. The helicycle is an older more simple homebuilt turbine, analog gauges, and no builder assist program. But it's also much more affordable.
MAN ! Someday...someday. Love this thing, my only gripe or wish is that it could somehow hold another passenger, but i realize what kind of changes that would entail and it would cease to be what it be, so, I get it. Like I said, someday...
As smooth as if I ride my bicycle from the driveway...very very profesional pilot. @MojoGrip can you give us direction where we can found some specs about this mosquito including price, training costs etc.
@@simon_says_trade I did not see the performance specs and a turbine eats fuel. One person, no range, no load capacity, Useless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ohwell2790 It took me five whole seconds to find the specs and the listed price on the dealer's website. How much time did you spend writing about not seeing the specs in a youtube vidja?
Saw your other video from pilot’s perspective. Hell no would I ever fly this. Thought about getting one but from cockpit it looks very narrow and with no doors no thank you!
Yeah sure. I'll just grab out of my ass 50k to 100k dollars to build one myself. Worked for 4 god damn years and I didn't earn even 1/3 of what is needed to build it and that is the price of when i finish the prototype and make it a functional model. Don't get me started on prototyping and how much money THAT exhausts.
Does it rotate clockwise? Never saw it banking right. Is the pilot "lefty"? Should be harder to fly at low heights because of ground effect. Great skills.
@@bigh7777 Depends on what arm you are using your Right arm can move to the left very easy, your LEFT Arm can move to the Right very easy. So There you have it. .

Lukas Ochola you must be new to the Internet.
I love helicopters and they're fairly new to me and now I think that one day I could possibly own a helicopter. 😀. Gyrocopters were the cheapest thing I'd seen before these but these are proper helicopters.
I noticed a Brazilian flag sticker near the helicopter blades. Are you guys Brazilian by any chance?
For the customer who bought it
I think you should show this to the Aussies, they have thousands of small helicopters in the outback, by memory mostly Robinsons, this would suit them down to the ground!
That is probably the most fun flying a lil bird, you are literally the helicopter, pilot has serious skill tho, I'm kinda jelly
Indian people:we can fit 16people in there
How does the torque control on these things? Im surprised no training is required for these since blade stalls, torque, and ground affect are all things you need at least some experience with.
The guy below took the exact words out of my head and put them down below! Only if! I can only wish!
I want One, but landing at the gas station is going to be a bit tricky ;)
Right? 😱
This would def piss off my hoa :)
Is that an Oregon ducks sticker up near the rotor head?
Can u tell me how can I learn how to fly from start to end I don't have the money that may require for such classes but I can get myself some books thank u
Wow... this is so cool! Would this be considered an ultralight? As far as I’m concerned ultralights don’t require pilots license to fly, a regular drivers license is all one needs.
this one does require a license but the XEL is considered an ultra light so for that no
so basically it doesnt go up more than 10 feet from ground
Can it come with a ballistic parachute for emergencies?
If classes were damn cheap we would have thousands flying these beauties
where was this filmed? I love the trees and field. If you could just give the name of the city and state this was filmed in it would be great. Even the general part of the state would be great. Thanks in advance :)
Interesting. Not in Brazil but registration is Brazilian (PP-ZNR). What is all about?

Would like to see a look at the HeliCycle as well, as I believe it also incorporates the Solar gas turbine.

Looks like a great first helicopter 🚁 if God is willing I would love to own one. I certainly miss the adrenaline rush of flying 👍🏾
Is that a helicopter or is it a hovercraft?
Whats the price the range and the consumption of that thing?
Later I checked around 10k. Not sure about consumption.
Can this be flown at night?
How much $ for one of these bad boys? What are annual expenses for maintenance?
This may have been asked and answered somewhere, but what is the max fuel capacity and flight time of the XET? Thanks in advance.
12 gal 1hour run time 1.9hrs w/auxiliary tank
Love this chopper
Being light weight, does it have a parachute?
Wonder what the payload is ? And the range ,
300 lbs from what I remember. You've got about an hr to fly, so 100 miles.
Isn’t this the lightweight helicopter you can fly without a license?
I need one of these to beat traffic
If the Mosquito helicopter have been equipped with a rotated camera on the outside, it will be a news chopper covering traffic.
It can only fly for an hour tho. But its tiny size would be incredibly convinient for that
Impressive piece of engineering. Now add a bit of altitude to it :)
Such a tidy design.
They can obviously fly over the city, this is just a test flight where they built them, someone must of brought a ready to fly build
Yeah exactly. I've bought one Ready to Fly aswell (MosquitoXE).

Composite FX only builds the Ultralight, the other models are kits.
why cant they modernize the flight controls? Is there some laws prohibiting making this fly by wire and full computer control?
would be too expensive, and unnecessary really. It's like asking for a drive by wire bicycle. It's just not necessary.
Beautiful machine.
