Ultralite helicopter
Just back from Bensen days and Sun'n Fun. I flew (hover taxiied) a 254#
legal ultralite helicopter. I was amazed at the lack of any tendency to depart to a foreign zip code. The little Mosquito Air felt more stable to me than a Bell 47. At Sun'n Fun John Snider demonstrated several autos to the ground in his experimental class Mosquito. Some of the autos were hovering autos from as high as 15-20 ft. John also has produced an outstanding video showing the techniques he uses in doing full down autos from varying positions and also demonstrates stretching and shortening the auto to reach a good spot. He also demonstrates a throttle chop with the collective held showing how long it takes the rotor to decay. While a bit pricey as videos go ($90) it is well worth the price and a must have if you are a Mosquito owner or considering a Mosquito or just want to walk thru some autos while in your easy chair. John can be reached at Stu |
