Mosquito XE Ultralight Helicopter

[59Love1]

I got to loose some weight so I can fly that thing...........

[MrStemkilla]

what is the maximum lode it can carry?

[Iguetas]

num passa de u metro essa bosta...

[MysticDMBherb]

I gotta get one of these for work, I deliver pizza and it would really help when I'm behind on deliveries

[420Nitroman]

It looks like a very overpriced suicide machine.

[floridaskater07]

Really sucks that the Mosquito does not qualify as an LSA :(

[pro100grek]

guys, price for this heli?

[iFireMake]

Just saw a plain Mosquito Chopper for sale in eBay for $3.5k USD

[whirlyman2]

Those would be awesome with floats.

[cjracer1000]

Woah! Only 30k! That's not bad! I hope to get one when I get older, lol, O I got highest rated comment :D

[dropkickmurphy01]

this thing is awesome! i'd love to fly one. does anyone know if that's a fully articulated rotor system or semi-rigid? that would be awesome to do some aerobatics in.

[eujeeves]

How far can they go on a full tank?

[jasonguyperson]

does the ultralight version require a serial number? (registration)

[TELORINODELHOYO]

use RAID MAX

[MrTorch333]

how much did that ultra light cost???

[lexichronicle]

When are you going to close the darn competition? It's been running for years.

[MosquitoAviation]

@lexichronicle As soon as the last square sells, we are currently selling 1 square a week, want to help speed it up? tell everybody you know about it!

Goodluck in the draw, 1 complete ready to fly Mosquito XEL Helicopter and a $10,000 training voucher to get you started.

[lexichronicle]

@MosquitoAviation don't say that! now I'll be lying in bed thinking of how kick ass it'd be to win and be flying around the neighborhood in my own tiny copter. now you mention it, how do you train people up? do you have a two seat copter a trainer can get people used to the basics on? I'm learning to paraglide atm and the state of the art is "Get in the harness.... now fly!" :) I imagine a helicopter is slightly more involved

[tamberineman]

@MosquitoAviation how much is the mosquito?

[pacanas9999]

Is this ultralite aircraft? so that means i can jump in with my Ultralite licence in this "thing" and fly with no restrictions?

[mememojo]

It's an RC helicopter and they just put a person in it that lost a bet.

[simusfr]

@mememojo Oh for sure, that's easier to build a 1:1 scale rc, and much funnier ... shut up

[cycool100]

wtf it so diff its like the ppl bigger and the helicopter is small with a human in it

[albolooki]

This Mosquito XE Ultralight Helicopter cost complete with with build US$ 38,000

and helicopter need three month to be assemble.

[tekdekid]

so cool hope to become a pilot some day...

[DelinquentRodent]

I thought for about a millisecond I was being Rick-Rolled because of the intro tune.

[shoopwhoopX]

why not a coaxial version

[LarryCanFly]

They don't autorotate very well without super complex add-on gadgets - I think.

[shoopwhoopX]

I didn't think of that...

[manta965]

is it a true helicopter or is it a gyro copter

[EuropaBloke]

look at it. There is a WORLD of diff. between a gyro copter and a helicopter.

first and foremost, gyro copter's cannot hover.

anyway you put it, that's nowhere close to a gyro, so it's a heli

[Richey2009]

It is a true helicopter, as it is NOT propelled by a prop behind or in front of it, but by the rotor on top.

[cjracer1000]

that would make a good alternative to get to work in the morning fly!

[rosham82]

and where do park?in my head

[KillTheMessenger239]

@cjracer1000 uh yea if your the only one in the block that has one imagen 156 of these in the morning flying around yup thats safe.

[cjracer1000]

@KillTheMessenger239 Of course! I would like being the only one around w/ one lol.

[KillTheMessenger239]

@cjracer1000 lol ladies guna be all over you. to bad its only a one seater =/

[FFTVAviation]

Really like the look of this. We've sent the company an email to make contact for getting something on our show. Hope they reply. If you know any good contacts there, do let us know. Thanks.

[iturbeca]

cuanto cuesta¿

[hekikuu]

holy crap! that's so sweet! I found my new way of commuting. i'm in love haha

[ZamorakPL]

haha UFO 0:35

big heli :D

[6867320]

loooooooooooooooooooooooool

[ISLAM4THICKONES]

This would be ideal for the Australian cattle farms for checking fences and stuff.

I believe they allready use 2 seater onesbut this would be much cheaper to run!

Great for learners too!

[pilotemtnils]

Two types of men on earth, men that want one in their garage and men that lie saying they don't. Great technology! Keep it up!!

[unapro3]

@pilotemtnils that would be the place for it, in the garage. As a Helicopter A&P, I can tell you that there is a reason production helicopters cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and about $4000 min to service every 100 hundred flying hours, because there is a lot to go wrong with the technology of rotary flight. To try and do it on a shoe string budget as in these baby helicopters is asking for trouble.

[mryandao54]

nice heli

[fenderish]

haha rickrolled

good old 4chan

[gmodesike]

the music starting off - i thought i got rickrolled for a half a second

[itsumonihon]

[wheeler295]

[itsumonihon]

[A1R5N1P3R]

[BigRickSharpe]

Nice, but the XE is not 103 compliant w/o the floats. John did a great job with it.
