The explanation of how a gyro works is the best and most concise I've ever heard. Perfectly explained with so few words... And I have the greatest respect of Abid, the owner.
If anyone is interested to see numerous examples of the Rotorway Helo there is a fly in planned March 18-26 at Cannon Creek Airpark Lake City FL.Last year event had 30 ships attend.
Great video and eye opener as to what is available and affordable. I wonder if one of the helicopter manufacturers would be willing to sell just the mast and rotor head for a project I have in mind for a W.I.G. craft so I could do a vertical lift from the water or land then transition from stationary to airborne to forward motion above he water without taxing for any distance ? A W.I G. island hopper.
I know it varies from craft-to-craft, but how much does the cost of having a third party assemble a kit range? Edit: I see the answer is $13,000 to $15,000 for the in-house Mosquito builds.
Haha, had a lot of electric Mosquito to show.. we have electric RC helocopters that do over 200mph now..motors for full scale electric planes and VTOL craft, let's see where it all goes!
@@The_ZeroLine I fly RC, and YES..BATTERIES DO REUIRE PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE..THEY FAIL SPECTACULARLY.. LIKE A MAGNESIUM FLARE.. EMITTING TOXIC FUMES WHEN THEY GO BAD.. Gasoline and kerosene are more "stable" and readily available to immediately and more efficiently energy dense operating systems that are field serviceable and have better endurance under high loads, but for my RC models I DO prefer the LiPo power systems for SMALL models..we have seen the greatest benefits & simplicity is key with models which we don't typically fly for more than 5-10 minutes, or up to ½ hour for higher endurance planes. Unlike engines, batteries only last a limited # of cycles and cannot be rebuilt..only replaced..any "deep cycles" that drop voltage below a critical limit will permanently damage the battery..fuel is stable until it is exhausted..but once again, in our electric ducted fans, we have (short)timed power, but better reliability than turbine, & less likelihood of a dead stick turbine model resulting in fire if it crashes.. ALL ABOUT COMPRIMISES.. With human occupants, the powerplant & supporting systems need to be ABSOLUTELY reliable..not partially available.. The technology is a demonstration so far, of what we can get away with..but not showing practicality or reliability, or green ethics in the mining, processing, production of electric vehicle systems, furthermore electricity production to meet required needs burns more fuel than point of use engine for net energy delivered.. Personally I can't wait for a zero-point energy system to hit the market.. now THAT would be something to get excited about!
Silverlight AR-1 is better than the ELA Eclipse EVO or the Magni M24 Orion? Please…can anyone take this channel seriously when they make claims like this?
There is this material called graphene, 40 times stronger (resistant to shock) than diamond becoming cheaper and easy to make but i doubt the industries want we to have ANYTHING unbreakable , they want us to buy a new after the not so old break $$$$$ :(

Nice to see Dwight's stuff being show cased, good people there! And a quality product.
Talking about combustion engine helicopters while showing an EV was a little disorienting.
7:17 the mosquito has the weirdest rotor mast and swashplate i have ever seen

You should also take a look at a second American made gyro. Gyro Technic is based in Minnesota. I own/built one if you need some information.
Do I need a private pilots license to fly an RotorX A600? Thank you.

Always check your helicopter
Hah! 🙂Thanks for watching!
Can a gyro handle negative g these days ?
All are pretty cool!
Does this helicopter kill mosquitoes instantly?
Just kidding lol
Maybe not instantly... they get a ride first! :-) Thanks for watching!

Of THESE ‘3’..hands down, the Rotor X…
It is the biggest. Any plans to build something?
Didn’t you post this yesterday?
Re-launch. Yes.
Made a few changes.

Looking forward to seeing all the NEW TECH with the quadcopters too!
Batteries don’t really fail or require maintenance. So, there will be an explosion in ultra light and other small aircraft when the tech gets there.

Did not think they still made "Gyrocopters".
Gyros are having a renaissance, with factory build and twin seaters.
YES. In the USA and several manufacturers around the World actually.
Always been fascinated since seeing them in the Bond movie as a kid.
As long as you have no shame they're still available
I think in the next few decades helicopters will be mostly replaced by quad copters and similar aircraft.
I think it will either be Cartercopter style VTOL heliplanes, or Jetoptera style fluidic airpods.
Will be interesting to see.... for sure!
Ballistic chutes, instead of autorotation?
Like
