Mosquito XE Ultralight Helicopter. Evening flight from the Western New York area. Helicopter is owned by my family and still flying regularly to this day.
@@marcrchtz9024 1. I think no matter what you need to be X ft away from any structures, 2. You don't need a license, training maybe, but not a license, also where I live some people will train you just for the cost of fuel if you wanted a personal license which lowers the cost substantial (I think the check ride is only like 500 atm) ... But no you don't need a license, ultralight are 100% legal without a license
@@marcrchtz9024 I am speaking to the reality of the matter. This isn't an argument about SHOULD you get a license, it's about if you NEED a license. The answer is no.
I think you should fly to some random person's house, land in their front yard, and give them an envelope with their name on it with a note that just says 'Hi.' on it, and fly away.
To have one of these is my ultimate dream. No pilots license needed and you can fly for like 3 hours... If I had 32 grand to spare, I would buy one of these in a heartbeat.
32 grand gets you a used (prob unsafe) mosquito and no money left over for $15k flying lessons, without which I could see you crashing. You need $45k for a new model preferably and money for classes. Then you need a place to store it to prevent corrosion from rain, then you need some sound insulating doors cause who wants to hear that super loud engine when they fly? Then if you're serious about anti theft you need a an alarm system and maybe an infrared seeking taser to stop thieves lol. But after that you have a very neat toy that would be very fun and low cost.
Jorge Dardon I'm not sure I'd need to spend that much on training. Not that this compares to real helicopters, but I've flown collective pitch RCs for quite a while. I know how rotorwash and all that affects stablity. The controls are simple enough; collective for up/down, stick for cyclic and pedals for anti-torque. But to prevent a brutal death, a few lessons might be warranted haha. As for security, even if I did get one of these, I would have no clue where to put it, let alone how I'd implement a infrared seeking taser system xD
@@Xenro66 ))))))) Если ты летал на радиоуправляемой модели, значит ты точно разобьешься пока не научишься у опытного инструктора. Это разные вещи! Это все равно что летчик самолета пересядет на параплан и сразу полетит
I'd have to say that this seems like the coolest/most fun toy that a guy can have. But it def seems like the easiest way to get killed from it as well. Just my thoughts
You don't need a pilots license to operate the Mosquito XEL (the one with floats) because its considered an ultralight, the XE and up require a license.
Not according to the Rotor FX sales site: rotorfx.com/aircraft_services/mosquito_helicopter_sales/ If you click on XE it states a license is required, it carries too much fuel to be classified as an ultralight.
Excuse me Sir, but you appear to be having too much fun without a permit, tHaT's IlLeGaL! Seriously though, that looks like awesome fun, well played 🙂👌
+hundvonkrieg It is a manual throttle control, I believe you twist the grip on the collective counter clockwise to increase (kinda like a motorcycle grip)
Most peoples backyards around here are entire towns. My nearest neighbor is 2,000 ft from my house. You should see my backyard. NYC could fit in it, twice.
First video I've seen where a yaw string was used (that is what that sting is for right?!), seems like a good idea that everyone should use it. Especially since there are limited instruments (have to keep that weight down by law some how or at least here there are laws about weight and power). Anyway enjoyed the view.
Scared of toasters unfortunately, in the US a machine gun will cost you half as much as the aircraft...just as much if you want one that won't catch fire during meltdown after continuous fire
+brainfarth Helps keep the helicopter in balance to the oncoming airflow, so you don't fly sideways too much. You use opposite pedal to the string pointing direction. Does not work much below 40knots.
Seriously considering one of these. My neighbor builds these things!
That’s awesome! He builds the Mosquito Helicopters?
@@brandonav8sthat and classic cars. It's his business. I've seen a couple mosquitos sitting in his shop. He builds them for other people.
100 times better than Lamborghini
And less than a quarter of the cost
Fervor not in some countries for this size

Hahaha makes me wonder where all you would be able to land this hog?
+Bradley Smith the main rotor is only 7m in diameter so you can land it almost anywhere id think!
Zhou can't do that or the government will fine you
How can we know their name if they are random people?
Or just land in somebody’s front yard, knock on their door and ask if they have accepted Jesus Christ as their savior lol.
That's the quickest helicopter startup alive scene in my life
Awesome! I bet your neighbors love you
what neighbors, dude lives in the damn country, this engine is no louder than a dirt bike motor. In fact it is using a snowmobile engine.
He flew over several neighbors houses.
@@robertgary3561 LMAO
I snowmobile around my house and we have the same engine. I bet I'm a lot closer to my neighbors house than this dude is flying over it.

Exxarem canvas carport on castors. Pour a small slab. Eureka. Not great in humid locations but workable

Napoleon Bonaparte you don't need a pilots license to operate a mosquito

Devin Hill no you can drive the XE without a Pilots licence.

Easiest way to get killed is to cross the street while texting on your phone!
Nice looking country.
These things are absolutely fucking awesome, I can't believe they exist.
Great video and controls seem very sensitive and relatively more stable than what I was expected, no wild hand movements...
Cyclic is super tight. Zero play at all through the linkages. Smooth at operating rpm.
how much for this model?
Charles Mabbott
782Matty 50 k
Wow, this looks like a lot of fun.
verry nice
It's only 300 and something dollars
@@trappa5230 What are you on?! Mine costed 41,500 €. (Mosquito XE)
I looked up something different
@@trappa5230 Probably a RC model xd
It has been always my dream to have such a small helicopter.
Does it have a navigational system I might forget where I live
Yes the have GPS
Use a portable Garmin GPS
Can use mobile
You have to tie a string to your TV antenna and let it hang out of your pocket while you fly, then you roll it back up on your way home. 👍
would be a mean feeling in your stomach if that motor went kaboom and it started dumping altitude
Wow what serene and clean environment! You're Truly blessed!
at first i thought someone was using a brushcutter nearby, then i realized it was this things engine!!
dji zzah right and they got the nerve to sell these for 40k!
What a great machine. Thanks for sharing.
Those choppers look so cool, a good way to have a bit of fun on a Saturday night.
Wow. I can't believe how quiet it is!! I want one.
Lovely area to live! Congratulations !
Greetings from Austria :)
Looks like the most amazingly fun and yet amazingly dangerous machine
I'm watching this video and I really felt my legs shaking when it was landing lol. Good video....
Nice flying and thanks for sharing
WOW! Wonderful....freedom more accessible to everyone! Great vid, thanks for sharing.
My goal in life is to buy one of these
Me too!
Cheapest I see on their website factory built is 47k
I like it! Keep having Fun!
awe, buddy. this looks like a LOAD of fun.
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. Keep flying safely :)
11 thumbs down.....they must hate fun and are just dreamers....not do'ers.....great job -- keep flying brother!
I fly a ATF Trike. I gotta get one of these. I love them!!!
That's a cool little chopper. But I find it funny that you seatbelt in. If you crash your toast anyway! Lol
Just making sure he doesn't fall out
This looks incredible. I'm too scared to do that, but it looks awesome. 😂
Thank you for the nice comment! Aviation is a great escape!
They offer a $2000 discount if you have at least 10 hours of helicopter training. No license is required but experience is necessary.
I fucking love America.
Looks like so much fun.
Good video I loved it
Words can't describe how much I want one
Awesome video
Pulling up to mc Donald’s in my helicopter
Great video, thnx for posting
Outstanding!
That's amazing.
That was pretty bad ass. TY
I NEED one of these.
Very cool!!
Wish to see more vids frm u. :-D
Must be amazing!
Looks simple enough. Gonna take the lawnmower apart tomorrow and start welding.
Perfect getaway
That window makes it look like the world is small
nice flight
Damn that's so cool
Excuse me Sir, but you appear to be having too much fun without a permit, tHaT's IlLeGaL!

Karen time!
I liked the video. :D
Very good
Nice
Thx for info
This is awesome. This is how flying should be. Get in and go.
Seems to be a great method of transportation for those who like in traffic jammed cities.
cool & awesome! ;)
The legend say “Drone Catcher could catch him”
loved it you are man enough to take it higher
Wow you got a great place to fly.
Western New York is beautiful
This is the stuff that I think is cool I want this thing because you can fit it any were
So cool
that was awesome
2:22
Those who says that earth is flat.I want to request them to plz see the sky
Does it have a fadec type system to automatically increase engine power with blade pitch or do you need to control the throttle manually?
+hundvonkrieg It is a manual throttle control, I believe you twist the grip on the collective counter clockwise to increase (kinda like a motorcycle grip)
That string on the windshield is clever!
No, the downwash sucked in a tampon......
Nice!!!
Holy shit I want one,I can imagine flying this in the suburbs.
lol,,,backdoor fun,,,,,when your back doors the size of a small town....
nice flying skills
That is so cool I want one sooooooooooooooo bad he made it look so easy I’m sure it’s not but I’m saving up now lol
thats so damn cool
Nice.
I didn’t know your backyard was an entire town!
Most peoples backyards around here are entire towns. My nearest neighbor is 2,000 ft from my house. You should see my backyard. NYC could fit in it, twice.
You are genius
When he was getting it started I half expected a pull cord LOL.
amazing...
“Hey!” “Yep, you’re goin’.” Yes that is how humans talk
Nice
That looks terrifying
Hey +Brandon Todd i'm doing some research, and I am wondering what the difference of the Mosquito XE vs. The Helicycle is. Anyone know?
Sounds like my Johnson 90 outboard boat engine
Hold my beer momma, Ima buzz the tower!
Dear Santa...
i want one so bad now!
Brave 😱
I hope the new Microsoft flight sim has one of these in it
Genial
Cool heli but man it sure shakes a lot!
That landscape and lake looks very familiar. Any good wineries nearby?
I want. One!
I hope I can buy one of these things
man, in must be so much fun flying one of those

yeah, it that's what it's there for, now if only the pilot had decided to pay attention to it :)
all it needs are some machine guns and youll have a perfect zombie apocalypse tool if i ever win the lotto this is all mine
al salazar make that a flamethrower instead
Scared of toasters unfortunately, in the US a machine gun will cost you half as much as the aircraft...just as much if you want one that won't catch fire during meltdown after continuous fire
May need a heavier airframe if you want to support anything more than a Trejo Machine Pistol.
Dude my dream lmao
How about just a side basket for molotovs ?? You can fly just above the zombie's heads and drop them for fun !! Lol !!
It would be cool if delivery services had these
How does the string attached to your windshield assist your flying?
+brainfarth Helps keep the helicopter in balance to the oncoming airflow, so you don't fly sideways too much. You use opposite pedal to the string pointing direction. Does not work much below 40knots.
Did you see how round the earth is? You wouldn’t catch me flying one of those things.
That's just the fish eye effect man. You'll need to way higher than that to see the curve of the earth
What u mean? Isn’t the earth is flat?
I’m only a teen but I have high hopes soon to buy one
I want one now
В отдаленных районах *«вещь нужная»* красотища..
