Today we take a first tour guide of Composite Fx’s helicopter factory. This is where the mosquito helicopter is designed, built and sold. We go through the step by step build of the Mosquito helicopter from raw material to a finished model aircraft.
This is just the first part of the factory tour. a part II will be uploaded in the coming week, and in that tour we go through power plants and engine selection for the Mosquito Helicopter.

I love the husband and wife team on these interviews. The pilot versus non-pilot questions are helpful for a holistic view of information. Keep up the good work.

This is a very insightful video! Have never considered a Mosquito but after watching, it is definitely on my bucket list. The factory tour and seeing how thoughtful they are in terms of design considerations really swayed me. Made in America! Made by Love! Made by Heart!

It is easy. Back in the 60s, Mattel Toys made something called the "Vacu-Form" a small toy that worked off the same principle. Just heat the plastic sheet, lower it onto a vacuum table, pull the vacuum to form the sheet plastic around the mold, and then let it cool. Simple in concept and practice.

Look at Dwight. Though he is missing some beauty sleep, he is pretty smart. While taking photos at his factory, he asked me if I wanted to fly one of his birds. I was shocked. How do you get dual in a single seater? That little helicopter looked to me like it would want to go to three different zip codes during hover operations. Dwight told me he thought I could handle it. Strapped me in, gave me a cockpit check and moved back. While squeezing the black out of the cyclic, I slowly and carefully elevated the little bird into a hover. What a surprise. The little stinker did not, I repeat, Not do anything that I didn't tell it to do. Less than 1 minute later I was slowly taxiing the bird around the field. Dwight knew I had a helo license and he knew how easy the Mosquito was to hover, so he wasn't taking anywhere the chances I thought he was. I later asked the designer, John Uptigrove how he achieved such a great control system. I expected some long winded technical discussion. John keeping with an honesty ethic that I really like, told me he didn't know. It "Fell Out" during the design process. To this date, I have not hovered a helicopter as easy to control as the Mosquito and that includes the Huey.

These guys used to make boat hulls. They reached out to the Canadian guy who was already building & selling the Mosquito Air (open, lots of metal legs, etc..) and said that they could make a sleek body for the mechanicals. The designer is still in Canada, and, Composite-fx.com makes all of the fiberglass pieces/parts. My wife's family had an identical business in Massachusetts for 40 years. Super impressed with the considered design of the mechanicals, AND, the beauty, light weight & strength of the fiberglass. What an awesome combination of craftsmen & engineers.

MikeMikeMIke! I built a Rotorway and flew it briefly. Sold it and used the money to get a commercial helicopter rating in a MD 500D. It was during training that I found out why there are windows at your feet in most commercial helicopters: If the engine quits you need to see where you are going to land! With no engine helicopters become streamlined rocks. Even with a qualified instructor next to you, your first autorotation will wake you up! (bring an extra pair of underwear). My advice is to get proper training and opt for the turbine as you need all the reliability and horsepower you can get.

Hey Mike. Thanks for doing the videos on the Mosquito. I'm jealous! Wish I could have been with you on your tour. I hold an enormous fascination for these experimental birds. If I can ever free up the extra cash, I hope to build one myself. They are an awesome little chopper. Next time I'm in FL visiting the grandkids, I hope to visit their facility myself. Looking forward to part II. Thanks again, Bob H.

Mosquito is the BEST single seat helicopter made. They have the best factory support as well as HIGH quality parts, unlike the Revolution company, that went broke when Dennis Fetters owned it. Several deaths were mainly because pilots lack of training and a few due to aircraft component failure (According to the N.T.S.B.)

I’m thinking of buying Rotorway (when I get settled) but considered this once upon a time. This is still a cost-efficient option I’d consider, but if they built 2 seater, I’d DEFINITELY look into it - over the Rotorway even.

There was once a lot of criticism of the metallurgy in the Rotoway. I don't know of.that is the case now.
@DumbledoreMcCracken
@DumbledoreMcCracken 5 лет назад
If cost is a concern, you have no business owning any aircraft. Aircraft will kill you faster than a snotty sneeze, and give not one fuck. You must have the money to maintain the aircraft above standards if you expect to become an old pilot.
@DumbledoreMcCracken
@DumbledoreMcCracken 5 лет назад
@C S you broke ass fool. You understand nothing about the cost of aviation, but you have to get attention some way some how! I have spent $10k-$15k aviating, and have less than 100 hours accrued across 5-7 different aircraft. Through that, I have learned that my personal safety is not something I'm going to sacrifice when I have to make decisions about money. Therefore, I'm offering the advice for free that I've paid to develop. Everyday the military wastes hundreds of millions of dollars, they don't care, but this is not a problem that most private citizens can enjoy.
