Hey everyone! Thank you for checking out this video. I'd like to invite you to SUBSCRIBE and help me get more people involved in aviation. This video was just edited down from 30min to 16min for your viewing pleasure. I hope you learn something new here or this helps in your decision of purchasing your next kit or project. Join me in the next videos for more interesting aviation content! :-)
As I got to the end I just had the thought that this is very well edited, that just earned you a subscriber!
Experimental Aircraft Channel How can I join and learn from you. I am a teacher from India
What's the price on those helicopters
I would "Just build It" but it's that pesky thing called tooling that would drain my wallet to the point of homelessness that stops me.
If you would like to see this IN FLIGHT I edited another Video for your Here: ua-cam.com/video/IR6AdnJJJFU/v-deo.html
all that and I was hoping for a start-up of the heli and test flights
Awwe look at that! They built it to be the exact same size as an actual Florida mosquito!
Made in the USA..I want one for my 50th Birthday..how much fun, nice to dream.
13:39 I sure am glad they added this scene, so beautiful!
Heh, blocking out the customer name, but too slow: 'Drone Delivery Canada'
Full respect for such craftsmanship at such low price! It's an insane value for the money.
This is one of the most interesting videos I've seen in a while. And thank you for not putting 5 minutes of filler at the beginning, like most UA-camrs do nowadays.
My Favourite little Helicopter. Awesome little thing .
You can see the excellent build quality of these machines,everything is so well worked out and does its job with good safety margins incorporated,the rotor head inertia is well thought out in its design and that control linkage speaks for itself everything does its job to good tolerances.
Love the stars and bars American scheme that must have taken some masking ! would love to see a video of the drone flying.
Well done Experimental aircraft channel,the factory described their machine very well.
Very impressive. Ease of ingress and egress from hard to access locations make this great. This can get places a lot of bigger birds can’t.
Super interview, highly informed people making beautiful product.
Fantastic job with this video. Such a compelling little craft and a big thank you to Norb and the folks at composite fx for sharing all of this detail!
This is the BEST helicopter kit on the market -- I had one from 2011 - 2019 -- after buying in 2008 -- you can do almost anything with this helo !!! Highly recommend it.
How amazing it would be to own one of these.
As a former Blackhawk crew chief, I appreciate just how simplistic these videos are. It makes understanding assembly, how the parts operate together, and the flight very clear to any and everyone.
I'm am aircraft mechanic and I do composite work as well. At 12:37 min while showing your swash plate demo I noticed what looks like reinforcing patches in your upper rotor shaft torque box on the aft wall that are roughly laid up and obviously not vacuum bagged down. They weren't even sanded smoothe! I have to say that I'm surprised that you're using a weaker joint like that and cutting corners by using "backyard" building techniques. I won't even mention the use of fiberglass over carbon fiber!
This is incredible. Very interesting.
It makes all the right sounds, even consumes large amounts of fuel! Lol gas turbine engines ftw
To Experimental Aircraft Channel this is the most coolest show I have seen in a long time. Thank You so much, From Brian to Bryan
Brian's of the world unite!
Best 16 min "commercial " I have ever watched
“No license to fly...”
As a child I would look at ultralights and homebuilts as the promise of freedom. No license, just go.
Now decades later as a commercial helicopter pilot with unrestricted ATP licenses in 5 countries, I can unequivocally say it’s a terrible idea. Go, buy and build an ultralight plane or helicopter. But please, for the love of Zeus... get a god damned private license so you have some clue of what you’re doing up here.
Love that. No license...mmm, tempting, but it's kinda like buying a Maserati...when you're 10!!
I thought the same thing I watched the video just to see how much it would cost some idiot to kill him self in a toy helicopter
HeliRy would you gave such an advice to the Wright Bros. Or the Montgolfier Bros.
Sometimes you have to run before you can walk.
Agreed, these guys better have on hell of a good legal them on the payroll.
With all due repect: check your tickets and you will see they are certifications. Not a license.
Absolutely fascinating bud! I love seeing primitive practical engineering and use of simple tools to do a superior job.
This is what dreams are made of ! Great Looking Craft and looks well designed !
Other than not seeing one fly (!) great video on a great product. I'm Australian and can tell you this is a cattle musterer's dream machine.
'cept it would probably take a week to fly from Darwin to Katherine. Fueling up all the time. LoL..
Amazing to say the least. Great quality standards it seems. Thanks for posting!
I’ve really like to have one of theses , been an A/P for thirty years and just love the entire idea of this ac
Its my dream to own and fly one of these mosquitos, ive watched videos for yrs. One day, one day 👌🏽
That makes two of us!! I was looking at a new Cadillac twin turbo, but where can I really drive it??? I wish I still had the grandparents farm in Lake Elsinore! This would have been so much fun!
@@williamlind2843 I have a farm and that's the reason I would like to buy that me too. My friend have a plane and told me that I will regret not to buy a plane rather than a Mosquito helicopter.
Fantastic and Congratulations
Some guys might ride into their job on a motorcycle. Imagine how cool it would be to show up to work in your own personal helicopter. 👍❤️❤️👍
@karim lavji we don't live in a jungle mate. Lol
Muito bom esses projetos
Ya gotta love it.. I've been a Machinist all my life.. That looks like some quality work.. Can ya see why a lot of people move to Florida every year. ? There just seems to be more fun in the Sunshine State..
Rodney flies. That Flag livery is candy, the rest of the video reminds me of my old manager Rodney. A cool guy, sometimes...but non the less i dont know you so you could be twice as cool and i like these tiny helicopters so this is very neat.
Sold . So glad I watched this. T.y. For producing..
This guy is very well spoken. Knows what he's talking about (obviously), gives you the information you, doesn't F around, is pleasant about it all, etc. That's what you want from a helicopter builder. Not some yahoo crackin' jokes.
Police:can i get you're flying license please.
Everyone who owns this: no... No u cannot
I always start humming country roads when I hear about experimental aircraft !
Mark Barnaart I don’t think a lot of people understand what you’re talking about. Haha but I do!
Great video! Thank you for the detailed information.
Great interview. Made me want to call them up.
JW
Have you called them?
Guardian Observer. No, I have not.
I think one would fit in my pole building, suprisingly affordable.
Some constructive criticsm, kindly meant (and from experience). This is a little hard to watch but you can vastly improve it by developing your camera work. Essentially, don't use Autofocus and don't keep the camera recording whilst you are reframing a shot. Autofocus relies on the camera guessing what should be in foucus - and often getting it wrong. Moving the camera from one thing to another whilst shooting is nauseating for the viewer. For example, when shooting the completed machines in the hangar, either hold the camera steady and walk in a straight line (a tracking shot) or stop recording whilst you reposition to the next machine (an in-camera cut). Good luck! Bob. PPL(A) and (H).
seconded, with a more stern please fire that guy or at minimum send him to a local film school. Yikes
I live in E. Mesa, AZ. I live in the suburbs (houses close together). I own one and fly on the regular. Where do I land and or takeoff? In my cul-de-sac! I live near the superstition mountains, so I routinely take flights up near it which make for amazing views! Not to mention, it fits perfectly in my garage and my neighbors LOVE when I start her up and take off. You would think it'd be the other way around, right? Yeah, I have amazing neighbors!
why even include footage that is 90% blurred? just cut it.
Yeah and you can still see what the try to hide -> DRONE Delivery Canada CDM TSX.V:FLT|OTC:TAKOF
I like how it's blurred but the camera still pan, so you still get to see what is udner the blur
It’s all about intent. Did the video creator intend to post info about customers personal builds? No
@@Manderion lol right ... at least get the first few frames geeze
N451WD
I was thinking I want to see it flying.
LOVE this.......... COOL !. I'll take the one in Red, White & blue.
Wow! I love the helicopter and the manufacturing operation!
Holy cow. I had no idea Pruitt Taylor Vince made helicopters.
I'm putting one of these together right now.
Could you come to South Georgia and let me and my dad see you fly it?
i am very glad i got this channel. i am a lover of aviation...thanks guys...keep it rolling. watching from Nigeria.
(from Brazil)
wonderful ! congratulations !! I hope to see many of these here in Brazil !!!! We have space in this immense country for a helicopter like this !!!!! (and a horrible car traffic!)
I’d love to fly one I have never flown one and I seen one at the airport and it lifted and took off fast and smooth
🇧🇷eu amo esse helicóptero !
Se eu puder ir ao seu país eu quero construir um .
Living in Rio buying on in 2 years Gods Will!
It'd be interesting to order an XET and shadow its manufacture. I've dreamed of owning one since I was a teenager and now, I have no doubts that I will.
I cannot wait to experience the freedom these things can bring.
Brilliant helicopter..love it
Brazil 🇧🇷 at 13:43
You all are really impressive entrepreneurs. The machines are exquisite pieces
Show de bola. Meus Parabéns
This guy is impressive and the chopper looks well built!
It would have been nice to see one fly.
Part 103 w/ floats!?! Drool!!! As much as I love flight, I'm surprised this has just come up in my "recommended" vids section?! While I am a licensed private pilot, I like the idea of folk flying, regardless of experience. I learned to hang glide by myself and taught myself paraglding, later as well. Not one mishap or accident. Why? Maybe because I use common sense when I do things for the first time? Life doesn't need to be an episode of Jackass, if you use your head for its intended purpose and not merely a hat rack.
So exciting to scroll through the factory, thanks for sharing I really enjoyed this video
Good job..good continuation.. thanks for explication ..
I was looking into one of these when they were $25K for the ultralight kit with the 5 gal tank and the fiberglass body. The issue for me was they kept moving the price farther and farther away. Otherwise I would have bought one.
Fly a helicopter without a license? "
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."
Most reasonable people agree that even if you don't need a license you'd better get some training or you'll end up in a world of hurt.
@@channell11 as will whoever you, your aircraft and associated flying debris lands on.
Once a few people crash into things with these there will be licensing and inspection requirements.
@@scottwillis5434 I think the Rotorways are classified as an experimental helicopter, so they still have to have an airworthiness certificate and you have to have a license. Some helicopters are small enough to be classified as ultralights and require neither. The issue with freedom is that some people are going to be dumb and abuse it.
License and training are two different things. Most brands of ultralight aircraft offer training. Even as a licensed pilot, you have to have type training (training in the aircraft you are going to fly) before you can fly it. Just because you have a pilots license and have some time in a C152 doesn’t mean you can jump into a P51 Mustang and fly it around. And, our government has been known to give licenses to people who don’t have training, so there is always that to consider.
Just found your channel and great informative video! As someone new to aviation and trying to get involved in the field of was great to find this. Look forward to your other videos
That drone next to N451WD is sweet!!!
5 year or 500 hour belt life. If I could afford the fuel to make it happen, I’d be changing belts every 6 months.
You lost me at belt... lol
Going Back to Bush plane kits
@@rayyoung2611 You fixed wing guys are all the same. “Yeah, but I can glide to a safe landing.”
Well, tell that to the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band. I’m just ball busting here. Lol
I’ll take auto rotation over gliding, any day of the week. If that belt breaks, you can set your chopper down safely. If your engine dies in your plane, I hope you’re close to the interstate or the Kansas wheat fields. Be safe brother.
@@rayyoung2611 secondary for redundancy. If it's good enough for a 10,000hp top fuel car then it's good enough for my 85-150hp putter lol
Burning 6-6.5 gph you are looking at $50-$60/hr operating costs. The 500hr overhaul kit is approx $5k
Would of been nice to see it flying
Really Cool aircraft thou!!!
LOTS of videos on youtube of the Mosquito in flight.
ua-cam.com/video/UjGrBlpIEBI/v-deo.html
"would HAVE" been nice.
I am absolutely fascinated.
God Bless ! fantástico
I'm hoping that in the future we will have 3D printed Carbon tub helicopters with electric motor with ultra high density battery.
I like how you think! 😍
Norbert sounds so much like George Lucas that I keep waiting for him to say, "and this is our x wing model..."
J.A. Harvilla That was so funny from what you said.
Kool I want one. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was an awesome interview and tour. I like the mosquito helicopter 🚁. That is a neat factory. Thank you for all the information.
I like how they didn’t even fly it and there’s like a whole minute and a half of outro music
Who would fly that thing scary asf it's so tiny
Thank you, you saved me 16 minutes
I know I skipped through what a waste of my time
Thanks! Probably saved myself a good portion of my life not being wasted! Would be nice to see them fly that and have fun
Imagine reading the title of a video that clearly says “factory tour” and expecting to see a flight video...
Well, it may not require a license to fly it. However, the flight training required to get a license will very likely save your life!
No license required? But can you just fly one of these anywhere? Even out of your driveway? What kind of regulatory restrictions would likely apply?
@@manofsanu can do that with any helicopter really. Take off from your own yard if you want and u don't have to have a heli pad
Love The Vacuum Molding
all i can say is wow awesome that is right my hélicoptère that i dream of it
I have worked in a brick making factory before and those cogtoothed belts are amazingly strong. Piece's of brick fall into the belt and the belt is destroying the brick with no damage to the belt. Some damage to the belt gears.
2:30
"We know how to build helicopters; we don't necessarily know what those applications are..."
I mean, people have been asking for a *flying car* for how many decades now? Like, a century, basically since the invention of the personal automobile? Here you go.
That would be cool I've always wanted to be able to fly a small helicopter, was always interested in learning how to fly them.
I live 5 miles away from the Shop. Super Cool.
13:23 LOL, not quite quick enough
That is what was hiding from us! But why?
@@RydalS Guess they are afraid of us seeing it has no windows :D
@@CMDRSweeper 🤷♂️😂
Holy Cow! That tail rotor is light! I've wanted something like this since I left Vietnam. (CE on slicks)
Very good talk thanks for the awesome amazing video thumbs up 👍
I want one! Looks like an Action Man helicopter from the 1970s (thats G.I. Joe for you folks in the U.S.)
Or Falcon in Brazil...
Had it as a kid.
I wanted to see one fly, sorry, I mean "mosquito" :D
You got to love how they always say "no license needed to fly". If you are an unlicensed pilot, you are a threat to yourself and everyone around you.
Excellent ....Awesome.... Genius.......keep it up.....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.....There are a lot of things that overstmart bookish engineers from India can learn from this company........
Totally fascinating great video, thank you
I've tried contacting them several times via email for pricing and information with no response...
@Keith Dumas WOW! They are that busy these days? When I interviewed them, now months ago, they had a lead time of around 6 months for their kits. Maybe try again TODAY? Thank You for watching!
They probably have more orders paid for than they can keep up with, nice problem to have.
This has nothing on the African built ones
That is very very cool!
i like it
beautiful mosquito
Holy shit at belt drive primary, no freakin thanks.
Deal breaker forsure. Like what!
Well what I'm thinking? I thought you gonna show us how this mosquitoes fly but all the mosquitoes was hiding in the garage
Yeah u r absolutely right, i don't understand what they want to explain to viewers,
[Detailed factory tour] When the video is posted of it being operated someone will post would be nice to see how it's built
Great video, three mosquitoes helicopters for a company at Van nuys airport one of them was a a mosquito air, and that was a really really cool ride. Unfortunately the company that the owner of mosquito helicopters is very aware of,rotor f/x it's about the most unsafe fly by night company I've ever worked with. So just to say my affiliation had not reflected the quality of workmanship from mosquito helicopters and myself. Thanks again for that awesome video and mosquito helicopters.
Simplis basic turbina you Love 👍😍
Sooo ... who's got a room, and a workspace for me to build my 4axis CNC DOUBLE COLUMN.... ??
... in Canada.
TURDEAU won't help. I am not Socialist.
You want a handout, but you're totally not socialist. K. Hope you're refusing to take any support during this pandemic.
Sir what a price of this machine...
The price point changes with options. Here is the link to their page with one of the models with pricing: composite-fx.com/models/xe/
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel thanks Sir
@@thewazir9064 Do you even have a license?
@@smnsmts1916
You don't need a licence for these ultra light helicopters, all though the factory recommends 20 hours of training. I personally flew one of these myself on my friends farm in Wisconsin and I never flew a helicopter before. I only fly fixed wing aircraft but had no real problems flying the mosquito after my friend explained to me how everything works.
@@AviationNut Sound not true... You can' t fly an helicopter (the mosquito is a real helicopter) unless you did at least 8 hrs with a CFI... Fixed wing has nothing to do with helicopter, completly different way of flying.
American ingenuity!🇺🇸💪👌
Thank you . 👍
