I am still trying to narrow down what I want to build. All I know right now
is that I want to build. I've run the checklist of requirements more than one time and still have variables. I guess as the time gets closer I'll have to tighten things up some. Maybe a visit to Sun-N-Fun or AirVenture will help. Fred "Frederick Wilson" wrote in message news:sDMEb.599879$Tr4.1568370@attbi_s03...

Well after combat, jumping from planes in the black of the night, and
sliding down ropes from helicopters I think it goes beyond balls. Now let's see here, what do they call that? Oh yea, stupidity. :-D Hmmmm, I think it looks pretty darn cool if you ask me. According to the website, you have to wait three months after first payment to receive your first parts. Fred "Morgans" wrote in message ...

Fred Looks like guaranteed spinal collapse unless the auto rotation is pulled off perfectly (if it even can.) Not much material undercarriage-wise to absorb energy. Personally, I would perfer twenty weather ballons and lawnchair, but that's me. ;-) pac |

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 "Frederick Wilson" wrote in message news:sDMEb.599879$Tr4.1568370@attbi_s03...

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 he do an auto to skids level at 3' then keep the collective down for a count of 3? B.J's turbine powered Helicycle ship looks like a much better design though it does require a license and medical... Stu Fields Builder&Pilot of Safari Kit helicopter.

I was looking more along the lines of home built.

"Not much" shock-absorption in the UC? How about zero-zip-zilch-nada!
Set her down VERY gently, EVERY time. The three months between payment and parts delivery may well be the time required to order raw materials and fabricate the parts. Wonder why the designer doesn't just sell the plans. Maybe the guy in the photo is just wearing tan shorts, but it sure looks like he's not wearing any pants. ;-) Corrie, NOT rotorcraft-rated.
