B.J's ship is a homebuilt. It is not an ultralight tho. I also tend to the
homebuilt. While I can afford to buy a used certfied ship, I can't afford
to keep one. A friend recently purchased a used Bell 47 and found one fuel
tank cap missing. Replacement cost: $150 for just the cap.

I was looking more along the lines of home built.

Welllll. It has a two stroke engine. It doesn't appear to be designed

for
run on landings unless you are on a very hard surface. Dynamic rollover
potential is higher than normal with the landing gear
configuration...Curious to know what kind of inertia in the blades??

Can

do an auto to skids level at 3' then keep the collective down for a

3?
B.J's turbine powered Helicycle ship looks like a much better design

though
it does require a license and medical...

Mr. Wilson;

I can certainly understand all the responses indicating people's

trepidation
with the Mosquito.

However, the designer lives in my area and I've had the chance to meet

him
and see the Mosquito fly. I don't know squat about helicopter design,

but
I
do know quality parts when I see them. I can tell you, for what it's

worth,
that the parts, at least, on the Mosquito are top quality.

It's a pretty incredible machine to see fly. I have to admit that it
doesn't appeal to me, but it's till very impressive. It climbs really

well
and is very manouverable. I don't know much more about it than that,

but
I
can assure you, the Mosquito gets your attention.

Blue Skies,

Stu

I know I will regret this but I would like to know your thoughts.
