Andy's Ultralight helicopter

[HoboZeik1]

what kind of engine? also how much horse power does it have?

[behindeverybush1]

Mighty smooth mi amego

[christwf]

Did u build this yourself?

[Classic63EType]

Not too bad actually! It seemed pretty stable in the hover and had a very smooth transition into forward flight. Keep on keeping on!

[a1graymatter]

What design is that? 

[bluehazer]

@a1graymatter Looks a lot like a Mosquito AIR.

[bamasblldogs]

I want one! Whats the sticker price?

[skierman05]

i wonder...

[Helipilot2001]

What?

[jus199]

ahhh yesss....i wonder  lol

[cajunhillbilly]

Cool! Sounds like a 2:1 reduction Rotax engine

[mikeyab86]

do you have to have license to fly these?

[Helipilot2001]

Nope, it's an ultralight, so no license is required but you'd be nuts not to get adequate training before trying to fly one.

[maxdecphoenix]

sikorsky didn't have any training

[Helipilot2001]

Okay, build yourself one and let me hold your wallet when you teach yourself to fly it.

[maxdecphoenix]

aw comeon man, you know i had to be joking. how many non-aviation folks even know who sikorsky is, much less that he actually flew some of the prototypes.

[th3boy75]

@Helipilot2001 okay.

[greg8698]

But Egor tethered his helicopter, the VS-300 with weights to prevent crashing while he was learning they dynamics of flying a helicopter. Otherwise, he probably would have suffered a Dynamic Rollover the first time he tried to fly the VS-300 or he may have crashed while trying to settle with power or crashed while trying to hover while in ground effect. He was actually a pretty smart guy.
