    Everything is illegal in a populated city. Most takeoffs require special airport designation not allowed in middle of residential, minimal 500ft flying above all residential areas. But I'm only a student just passed my Knowledge exam without Checkride.

    That's when it's fun. I got a private license in 1983 in the Hughes 269. Then got to fly the same thing in primary training in U.S. Army flight school. They were TH-55, but the 269 Hughes. Most fun ever. Then transition to UH-1, and all the Army stuff. Most of us used our Army training at the end of flight school, to the commercial pilot test for rotor wing, and had instrument add on since we had all the Army's records. Still, nothing was the same as a simple Huges 269. Those were funny to fly. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you, brought back memories ❤

If he flies it every day, then that would become irritable quite quickly It also takes him like 4 minutes to actually get up and leave, which is a lot longer than a car driving passed playing some bass boosted songs. Plus, there are window panes you can install to keep the sound out that especially work great for limiting the amount of bass from car's speakers.

    Mr. Kent, thank you for uploading this video of your flight. As a "fan" of the helicopter, I can say that I enjoyed seeing everything that you did. Back in the late '50's through early '60's, I watched a series called "Whirlybirds" religiously. I have always wanted to learn how to fly a helicopter. I wish that O could win the lottery, then I would purchase a helicycle and take flying lessons. I think it would be neat to park it at the home and fly to where ever ya needed to go and land the helicycle in the parking lot out of the way of vehicles, etc. Hope you upload some more vids of your flights 😀.

    My helicycle flew GREAT. I enjoyed it Ver much until I sprained my ankle. The doctor put an ankle brace on it. Several weeks later I went to the airport to fly it. I got ready to take off. Carefully used my feet to neutralize the tail rotor and relaxed my foot muscles to take off. As I did that the ankle support, without me feeling it, moved through right tail rotator control pedal a tiny bit. As I lifted off, the copter suddenly went into a right, fast spin. It happened so quickly I had no time to realize what was causing it. Altitude, Air Speed And Hanger Door, coincided. Did not get hurt but I no longer had a HELICYCLE. WOW did ever miss it!!,

It is so rare to see anyone flying at altitude in a homebuilt helicopter. Suggestion for a future clip: Some autorotations to power recovery so we can see the attitudes. Love being able to see the instruments. I am an R-22 pilot.

    For all those wondering: You can get a Mosquito Ultralight Helicopter like this one factory built for literally 40,000$. You can also buy a kit to build one of these for only 30,000$ if that's more your thing. The cheapest one flies at like 70mph if I recall, they run off normal fuel (like diesel), and because they are "Ultralight" helicopters, as long as you don't fly above the clouds, over a dense city, or near an airport, you don't have to call in for clearance. You could legally use it to fly around your area as long as you don't live in the city. Also you don't need a license (but I would strongly recommend it lol)

    +Nicholas Narverud This is a Helicycle, not a Mosquito. It's a full-classification turbine helicopter. You absolutely need a license, as their smallest model is *double* the Ultralight FAR103 weight limit at 500lbs. As far as the Mosquito helis, the only ones that are FAR103 legal are the Air (no canopy or surrounding panels) or the XEL which gets an extra 60 lbs to the limit from being amphibious (it has inflatable pontoons). The XET turbine model still requires a license.

    +DEAD_P1XL That's correct. The mosquito air does not require a license. One interesting possibility though, is to buy an air, get really good and then take the minimum hours for a rotary wing PPL and handily pass the flight test (since you actually have much more flight experience). The savings in rental hours would probably pay for the mosquito air and you have something to show for it. Of course, you need to prosecute your self education on the air with all the seriousness and rigor that regular flight training would demand.

    At first I was wondering what neighborhood would that be legal, then I recognize it was my neighborhood and you flew over my house at Wingfield Springs Way to go bro ...

    I am assuming it not legal at all. It is extremely dangerous to operate any aircraft in a confined residential area. You cant land a helicopter anywhere you feel like it. You need to get a variance from the town in which it is being operated in. As helicopters are allowed to fly at any altitude, You should fly by the good neighbor rule. This guy flys way to low over houses and I bet with enough complaints about him, he will be forced to relocate his helicopter outside of the residential area and be told not to fly below a certain altitude in a residential area. That thing makes a lot of noise

    @CommieBash and what happens when a small pebble gets thrown and hits a child in the eye or damages someones property? Or a rotor blade should come off and fly into a house killing people. I agree we all have the right to freedom, but your freedom should not come at my expense. The rules are there for a reason. If you had a huge farm with nonone around you for a mile you might have a point, but in a housing development it is not wise to do this inless a waiver is granted by each resident.

    Nice kit and interesting scenery, worth reviewing your video to see it as others will; speed up preparation checks or trim out altogether and get to short segments to avoid losing the audience? Found myself skipping large chunks but enjoyed the thought of popping up from your driveway, good job no litter bugs around your parts though...;-)
