What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him

Good stuff, mate.

Could be worse, In my neighborhood the 'one wheel guy' was using a hoverboard to transport his 2 babies. One was probably MAYBE 1.5 years old, the other was like 3. He was carrying one with the other on his shoulders.
I think the heat shield is a great idea but also I would run some tubing from the carburetor toward the front and put the air filters up there so it's sucking in cold air for sure.
the landing fixture is built with fry pan and dumbbell. And you transport the chopper with a one-wheeler and fly it wearing crocs and shorts. Instant respect!

Put a few spacers (washers) under the coils. The Air Gap will help wonders. And even adding a layer of insulation on the engine side of your heat shield will help.

Mitch, can you elaborate a bit about: the time you put into it from "a sketch" to actually built time and the approximate about of money spent? Are you inspecting stress points, wear points and overall structural integrity after every flight? How much time are you putting into it weekly... for those minutes of flying, testing, etc. I know the pleasure and fulfillment you got/get from this it is priceless in itself... but just curiosity. I assume that what we see here is not an average guy the Nike type "Just do it"😅 This is serious knowledge and craftsmanship...
Man be carful not having protection over the cockpit, if them blades hit the ground you won’t know what direction there going. But I love the build and how you push it down the road.
Your heat deflector which also acts as a heat sink for the coils is intelligent . I'd love to know if any of the components are carbon fiber . All the best sent your way .
It fascinates me to wonder how you trim the Tip Path Plane? It looks perfectly balanced with both blades in the same plane? In the Air Force the choppers had super complex devices for tracking our rotor blades.
This was done the old fashion way. One blade tip painted red, the other painted green allows you to visually see which blade is higher or lower. Then you adjust the pitch link half a turn and run it up again to see if its tracking properly.
I know you probably already figured this out but sometimes if your vent tubes are vented wrong where air can get rammed into them it can change the pressure in your float bowl to make your carbs run richer sometimes it's good to have them run short so the pressure is equalized in both carburetor float poles people run long ones on airplanes then run them straight into the air in the pressure is way too much causing a rich mixture I love your flying machine brother it's awesome
Really hot days have higher "density altitude" and that will make your engine run rich. During the winter months "density altitude" is lower and the mixture will be normal.
Very impressive, but I’d want a tubular cage, at least between me and the salami slicer. I assume you thought about reliability of the engine while in flight e.g. the effect on the fuel feed when performing manoeuvres, what happens if something gets too hot etc.
I really need one of these for my commute. Its only 12ish miles, but only the first 4 of that is on good normal roads... the middle 4 is on a rough 4x4 track, and the last 4 is on a treacherous stretch of paved single lane with no sight distance on the hills and corners with free range cows and a fuck ton of feral goats that like to dart across it... and you are staring right into the rising sun in the morning. That 12ish miles takes about 40 minutes to drive in my work truck. With this? I could fly directly to my site in about 15 minutes.
Is there an accelerator pump to help the carb transition “off of the idle jet”? Probably have to re jet Summer to Winter? I can see this rig is a challenge to keep jetted properly.
I dont think the carbs have an accel pump but its really not needed since as soon as you leave the ground the throttle will always be at least 50% the rest of the flight. The carbs are easy to access and it takes 5 min to swap jets or raise the needle from summer to winter. I enjoy it!
Ya it will take some carb setting .but even paramotors have a carb tube then fillter on end . BUT I THING A CARB BOX AND FILTER LIKE A CYCLE BREATHER BOX
Positive side of hot air on those carbs.....no icing. A 2 stroke wants to run on the rich side for piston cooling.....granted it robs a bit of power.....and a weak mix may sound better.....but running weaker is a risk in a 2 stroke.....especially in light load conditions. My Rotax 503 was near enough fully shrouded....what motor are you running....dont look like a rotax....a Hirth maybe??? But the company that produced my microlight modified the shroud to blow hot air on the carbs.....to help re icing.
Hot air is less dense, so your carbs need to be leaned on hot days, I would suggest keeping a chart on temp, and humidity on the days you fly, you'll soon be able to adjust carbs with no problems.
That was the point of the heat shield that I made. To shield the coils from the engine heat. I think the spark plug wires deal with the heat just fine the way they are.
WHERE DID YOU BUY IT AND HOW MUCH DID IT COST AND HOW LONG BEFORE YOU GOT IT AND HOW MUCH TIME TO PUT IT TOGETHER? AND IS IT HARD TO FLY AND HOW DID YOU LEARN TO FLY IT SON ?THANK YOU
If you went like 5000 altitude with that and the engine dies would you still be able to land like how normal helicopters can where just the rotation of falling spins enough to smooth landing?
One blade tip is painted green and one orange. When I get to full rpm, it's easy to see if one blade is out of track so I adjust the pitch links until both colors fly the same tip path. Same thing the computer does but the old fashion way.
This looks as cool as it gets but the pedant in me says t-shirt, shorts and crocs are not much use if something goes pete tong. I spent 38 and a bit years in the Air Force, 25 flying, 10 as a Helicopter Crewman and 15 as C-130 Loadmaster so for me a sensible pair of sturdy boots and some sort of fire retardant flight suit would make real sense. They would also complement that cool looking flying helmet :-)

I was just thinking if something like this little guy would be able to pick me up, I'm 6'5 260 pounds... Maybe there's a big guy version of this available?
If the heat shield is only for wires protection why not trying wire insulators which they coat the wires thoroughly, I recommend Wirefy Heat Shrink Tubing as the most reliable and highest-quality solution.
Hey man, it cracks me up you push your heli to your flight area with an EUC. I posted this to the EUC Discord and people got a kick out of it. Are you a self-taught pilot or do you have some formal training?
So Mitch I just found your chanel today, I'm excited.. would love a background video, like when/where did you get your rotary wing experience? Why did you get out of them into paramotors ? Do you also have multi engine ifr ratings for fixed-wing? (I'm guessing you are maybe navy/airforce trained).
Cool video, don’t get me wrong. But those mosquitos are death traps. I’m happy to be flying ASTARS and I’m a full time sworn helicopter CFII for my government employer. I know, I’m so spoiled and neither myself nor the average “Joe” (like me) can’t afford to buy nor maintain an ASTAR.
It’s great you’re doing your test and repairs. Do you do destination? Do you get out with your helicopter and go places like to paragliders do make a trip to McDonald get out and it’s four places to keep your viewers happy.

@@deanwaddington2799 Oh dear, someone pointing out that you are not as smart as you think you are has clearly not been received very well.
Console yourself with the fact that the intellectual chasm that divides us means our paths are unlikely to ever cross.
@@trustmetours57 I’m not sure I ever declared myself to be smart, I just pointed out that there’s always some fun sponge who appears in the comments section and attempts to offer advice that’s usually intermixed with a very thinly veiled symptom of their superiority complex. As you’ve also pointed out that you now think you’re smarter than me for because I missed out an apostrophe just compounds my view. Just a little pointer that might make you seem a little less unpleasant, being a pendant is not an attribute in ones life, it actually makes you look like a twat. You’re very welcome.
did you take some outposts from pagan min as well?
Nice work! I've been looking into doing the same but I'm big, 6'4" 220lbs. 😬 Might not be as snappy with me in it lol.
I was just thinking if something like this little guy would be able to pick me up, I'm 6'5 260 pounds... Maybe there's a big guy version of this available?
wow,great job bro...how much cost for build this copter
good call on the heat shield bud
If the heat shield is only for wires protection why not trying wire insulators which they coat the wires thoroughly, I recommend Wirefy Heat Shrink Tubing as the most reliable and highest-quality solution.
Hey man, it cracks me up you push your heli to your flight area with an EUC. I posted this to the EUC Discord and people got a kick out of it. Are you a self-taught pilot or do you have some formal training?
Ole B.J. Schramm would be proud! You live anywhere near where the Mosquito legacy was born?
Looks amazing. Scary af tho so close to those blades. Fiquem de olho nesse cara ele vai longe.
Another sub added! I'm also somewhat interested in those machines also!
Are those Kevlar covers for the Pistons that's preventing the air from working its way around the Piston the cooler
is that the design they used to sell in the back of popular science magazines? if so how did you get them?
Serious question: why do all these kit planes still run carbs, when EFI systems are so cheap nowadays?
Lighter weight and simplicity
So Mitch I just found your chanel today, I'm excited.. would love a background video, like when/where did you get your rotary wing experience? Why did you get out of them into paramotors ? Do you also have multi engine ifr ratings for fixed-wing? (I'm guessing you are maybe navy/airforce trained).
Wow the free movement of the cyclic is scary. It seems that you steer and nothing happens. I am socialized on tighter cyclics😂
That was partially because this was at 7000ft DA.
@@MitchG Oh that explains :)
Are those Crocs IFR approved stc
Definitely
I worked and flew on helicopters for 8 years and wondered if you do any blade tracking?
All helicopters require track and balance
OK. @@MitchG
@3:35: Sir, do you know why I pulled you over? 😂
Cool video, don’t get me wrong. But those mosquitos are death traps. I’m happy to be flying ASTARS and I’m a full time sworn helicopter CFII for my government employer. I know, I’m so spoiled and neither myself nor the average “Joe” (like me) can’t afford to buy nor maintain an ASTAR.
Price of the mosquito and store
Why couldn’t you lower the main needle one click to lean the carbs ?
I did actually do that. It ran great in the midrange but was still to rich at full throttle
It’s great you’re doing your test and repairs. Do you do destination? Do you get out with your helicopter and go places like to paragliders do make a trip to McDonald get out and it’s four places to keep your viewers happy.
Hey dude love your computer can't understand why you took for a walk why didn't you just take off on your drive but M8 brilliant kit HH
Hey dude did you build your copter or buy if so how much bro in sterling and where did you buy I love it m8 thanks HH
