Got something to say?
Im a ex police chopter pilot from royal malaysia police.can this bird do deck landing on our marin vessel. If possible may be i can propose our department to use this chopter. Its d.o.c is damn cheap!!!!
El problema de vivir es España, es que no puedes pilotar este tipo de helicopteros,sin licencia….todo un acierto de las leyes españolas,como otros tantos,todo cagadas,pronto para ponerse unos patines habremos de sacarnos un permiso especial
Get a Lithium-Polymer-Akkumulator and you can start from the Helicopter.
do oyu need a licence for one of thease?!?
In the world of personal toys, this one rates at the top of the “totally bad-ass” scale! Whoa!
Hi, what turbine engine do you have in this?
And can you give a rough price for it?
Regards,
Shane.
best flying helicopter ever built
Dang; i’d be wearing a flight helmet in that thing…
what kind of fuel does it consume? can you just land on top of Exxon mobile and yell out, “hey can you fill er up with super unleaded? And make it an extra long hose, cause im up here.”
@OPW4X4
Depends on the proportions of your height between legs and torso. There is just over 37″ from the seat to the interior top of the cabin so if your torso is within these bounds and the balance of your length is in the legs you’ll fit.
How tall is too tall for a helicopter this size? I’m interested in one, but I’m 6’4..
@ROTORFX Okay thanks
@stuartsbushcraftblog
You could fit it with a hook for practice and training but the payload capability does not allow for any practical load that would be useful in real situation
@Dubconferencedotorg
Regulations and flight categories vary from country to country and you’ll have to check with the aviation authority in the country you are considering. There are Mosquito helicopters already in the UK, France, Italy as well as several eastern EU countries.
Could this helicopter be fitted out with a cargo hook to carry say a bambi bucket for firefighting?
I think it should be possible pushing the costs below 5000US$ .. considering the TAO effect
Can it be flight with Ultralight in EU ?
nice

If you expand the description for this video above you will find general pricing descriptions there, if you would like detailed costs and options then email us at info@rotorfx.com and we’ll send it back to you.
how much do one of these cost?
@adferrell7
Part 103 is the section in the USA FARs (aviation regulations) that refer to ultralight aircraft ( see the link to the 103 regs on the Mosquito Helicopter page on our site rotorfx.com).
If you are anywhere within the USA then “103” regs apply & yes you can fly either of the Mosquito ultralight models. Of course you will need training, see our site for ultralight training classes on the helicopter flight training page
@ROTORFX Okay so what if I was living in MO. You see my family is in Canada but I’m living in MO now going to school what would I have to go through in order to fly one of your helicopters. Also what do you mean by part 103?
@adferrell7
Yes, you will need a license to fly any of the Mosquito helicopters in Canada. Unfortunately they do not have a comparable Part 103 Ultralight category which allows you to fly either the Mosquito AIR or Mosquito XEL license free in the USA.
I live in Canada and I was wondering would I need a pilot license to fly Mosquito XET Turbine? And I noticed that there are other mosquito’s that don’t have the turbine. Do I need a pilot license for one of those?
The Mosquito helicopter is a net little sporty helicopter, The cost to own this ship is about what I paid for my Rotorway Exec in 1989. If I didn’t all ready have a helicopter, I surely would be looking at the Mosquito.
