Made in the USA..I want one for my 50th Birthday..how much fun, nice to dream.

all that and I was hoping for a start-up of the heli and test flights

This is one of the most interesting videos I've seen in a while. And thank you for not putting 5 minutes of filler at the beginning, like most KZreadrs do nowadays.

Awwe look at that! They built it to be the exact same size as an actual Florida mosquito!

You can see the excellent build quality of these machines,everything is so well worked out and does its job with good safety margins incorporated,the rotor head inertia is well thought out in its design and that control linkage speaks for itself everything does its job to good tolerances. Love the stars and bars American scheme that must have taken some masking ! would love to see a video of the drone flying. Well done Experimental aircraft channel,the factory described their machine very well.

13:39 I sure am glad they added this scene, so beautiful!

Full respect for such craftsmanship at such low price! It's an insane value for the money.

Very impressive. Ease of ingress and egress from hard to access locations make this great. This can get places a lot of bigger birds can’t.

This is incredible. Very interesting.

Fantastic job with this video. Such a compelling little craft and a big thank you to Norb and the folks at composite fx for sharing all of this detail!

This is the BEST helicopter kit on the market -- I had one from 2011 - 2019 -- after buying in 2008 -- you can do almost anything with this helo !!! Highly recommend it.

Some constructive criticsm, kindly meant (and from experience). This is a little hard to watch but you can vastly improve it by developing your camera work. Essentially, don't use Autofocus and don't keep the camera recording whilst you are reframing a shot. Autofocus relies on the camera guessing what should be in foucus - and often getting it wrong. Moving the camera from one thing to another whilst shooting is nauseating for the viewer. For example, when shooting the completed machines in the hangar, either hold the camera steady and walk in a straight line (a tracking shot) or stop recording whilst you reposition to the next machine (an in-camera cut). Good luck! Bob. PPL(A) and (H).

“No license to fly...” As a child I would look at ultralights and homebuilts as the promise of freedom. No license, just go. Now decades later as a commercial helicopter pilot with unrestricted ATP licenses in 5 countries, I can unequivocally say it’s a terrible idea. Go, buy and build an ultralight plane or helicopter. But please, for the love of Zeus... get a god damned private license so you have some clue of what you’re doing up here.

J.A. Harvilla That was so funny from what you said.

Part 103 w/ floats!?! Drool!!! As much as I love flight, I'm surprised this has just come up in my "recommended" vids section?! While I am a licensed private pilot, I like the idea of folk flying, regardless of experience. I learned to hang glide by myself and taught myself paraglding, later as well. Not one mishap or accident. Why? Maybe because I use common sense when I do things for the first time? Life doesn't need to be an episode of Jackass, if you use your head for its intended purpose and not merely a hat rack.

Wow! I love the helicopter and the manufacturing operation!

Rodney flies. That Flag livery is candy, the rest of the video reminds me of my old manager Rodney. A cool guy, sometimes...but non the less i dont know you so you could be twice as cool and i like these tiny helicopters so this is very neat.

Holy Cow! That tail rotor is light! I've wanted something like this since I left Vietnam. (CE on slicks)

I'm am aircraft mechanic and I do composite work as well. At 12:37 min while showing your swash plate demo I noticed what looks like reinforcing patches in your upper rotor shaft torque box on the aft wall that are roughly laid up and obviously not vacuum bagged down. They weren't even sanded smoothe! I have to say that I'm surprised that you're using a weaker joint like that and cutting corners by using "backyard" building techniques. I won't even mention the use of fiberglass over carbon fiber!

You all are really impressive entrepreneurs. The machines are exquisite pieces

You got to love how they always say "no license needed to fly". If you are an unlicensed pilot, you are a threat to yourself and everyone around you.

@adamr9215

License and training are two different things. Most brands of ultralight aircraft offer training. Even as a licensed pilot, you have to have type training (training in the aircraft you are going to fly) before you can fly it. Just because you have a pilots license and have some time in a C152 doesn’t mean you can jump into a P51 Mustang and fly it around. And, our government has been known to give licenses to people who don’t have training, so there is always that to consider.

That helicopter looks fun.
