Nice save! That type of landing gear looks like a prime recipe for a dynamic rollover

Great looking machine. Also a great demo of why you need to feel any helicopter off the ground slowly enough to detect the onset of dynamic roll over before it happens. That was unbelievably close. I've never flown a tri-pod gear helicopter but they really look like dynamic roll-over waiting to happen. I believe there is a normal skid type gear option available for this model. Seems to me that the added weight and expense would be well worth it. Wish I could afford one of these machines. Probably need to get into something that pays better than helicopter flying to afford one : )

David Mathieson i don't fly put i sure agree with the take off being borderline. I sure would like something like a Mosquito.

huuff that was close,get rid of the tripod and install an set of sky,good thing you was skill enough to escape the situation CONGRATULATION !!!!!!!!GOOD WORK

That looks much more stable than I was expecting, coolest thing I've seen all week!

Great stuff ! The '3 point' stand IS very poor and Dangerous. A better option would be a 'skid' open triangle design. ie: 2skids meeting at front / center and the rear 'open (starboard to port ) in case of snag danger, of a closed triangle undercarrage. Keep up your great work.

Close to a demo of dynamic rollover! He was very fortunate.

This is a story about the time Jim almost killed himself with a dynamic roll over

Those 3 footed things are asking for trouble.

+Ralph Latham You are so correct! Even an auto-rotation is a death sentence! Skids got their name from just that...Skid. Mosquito Kit are the same price of Much more safer helicopters.

how much to change it to skids than the 3 legs on it. and how much is a used moskito sells for ?

I've never flown an ultralight helicopter but i own a Trike Ultralight and i see the same trends, very first you just want to eaassseee off the ground but sometimes these machines don't "ease" too well. Keeping your whits is half the battle, well done.

Very nice

those skids are dangerous,they can catch and upset the aircraft,like you just saw,small wheels or round steel or aluminum balls

I was going to criticize, then saw that it was his first flight. He got airborne and relatively stable. So is good as far as I know

nice save from the devil..(dynamic rollover)

Anyone else hold their breathe on that take-off?

That lift off was just scary. I don't like how there is absolutely no protection around you. But it looks fun as hell!

The FUN was laughing like hell afterwards that something drastic didn't happen!! i.e., rollover! The HELL was the rush that came from the instability & corrections of the mosquito to stabilization! WHEW!!!

Probably the most adorable helicopter

dynamic rollover due to a stuck skid.. glad he could control it back to level flight.

good job dude.... thumbs up.

I wonder why didnt the designer put regular helicopter skiis on it.. if needs to execute an emergency with speed, it's gonna flip over as soon as it touches the ground

So close to a roll over, so close....

That's my dad!

THAT WAS KINDUH A SLOPPY TAKEOFF. I THOUGHT HE WAS GOIN TO ROLL OVER THERE FER A MOMENT. I'M SURE GLAD THAT HE DIDN'T.

That's why they would be better off with some sort of wheels!

The pilot could see it was going to yaw when he started to raise the collective the first time, and yet the second time,when he started to lift off he did not compensate with his pedals, he just yanked it up anyway and almost had a dynamic rollover. You know with helicopters you RARELY get a second chance. That was pure dumb luck.

1300 hours of helicopter time and it was dumb luck. You witnessed the second pickup in less than 30 seconds of total flight time on a brand new helicopter. That's the facts.

Wow, Excellent recovery, well done. Is that really your first flight in a mosquito?

You need to level out the blades and make them smaller shorten the bar holding the back blade thus making it more airo dynamic

Yea that kind of design isn't smart. U should build the landing part with a round pipe and curve it on the front. Take offs and landings are alot easier. Sorry don't know all the helicopter part names but I built 1 to it's loads of fun

Please change the legs so they can't dig in. Bad, bad design fellas.

Athletic Sports Cup saves the day!

How much money is it

Yeh should have started off on some type of pad. Especially 1st flight. That would have eliminated that possible disaster.

0:52 Almost learns what Dr. Sikorsky called Dynamic Roll Over.........HEERREEE weee go...... OH SHIIIIIIT..... now im good ,but damn.

didn't know you were in Norway. In America we do what we want, ask forgiveness later.

40 feet and the range is about 70 feet

There is a testing protocol. This flight was one of dozens in a planned sequence. The flight was a success. The fact that you didn't know this is proof that you're incompetent to build anything more complicated than a PB&J sandwich or fly except as a passenger.

get some skids so you dont stick one of those tripod points in to the dirt you going to flip over just a matter of time. Get four point skids i own one and i know what im talking about what you have is dangerous being on soft soil just looking out for you is all.

That's why they make skids children,lol

If he was in the army, his name would be "Major Doofus" all that shit just to go 2 feet off the ground...

I think it's new and the pilot is also. So testing and practice is good to do.

Are you kidding? It's a home built helicopter with a weed eater motor. What could go wrong. Look's like my kind of fun.

They don't put 65 hp motors on weekenders that I know of.

Why don’t any of these videos show the pilot go up in the air, and actually fly the thing, instead of just hover?

CHECK OUT HOME BUILT HELICOPTERS ITS A NEET SITE THEY HAVE ONES THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO LICENSE!!!!!!!! I AM LOOKING INTO BUILDING ONE LIKE HE IS FLYING

Do they ever go higher than 2 feet?

He's joking, the statement he made is true for base jumping...

how much would these be?

Wow, that's not a death trap or anything.

So...no tachometer (from what I could see), probably no governor or correlator, sketchy-looking landing plates, extremely low blade inertia, and a likely probability of eventual decapitation. Oh, wait, he's wearing a helmet...he should be fine...

Good

ohh thats a dodgy takeoff =)

You should invest in some new tyres

Risking a gruesome death to fly 3 feet in the air. Good stuff 👏

Higher higher higher

Leonardo da Vinci has wet eyes ...

It's a death trap It's a suicide rap.

Type engine? Thanks

I fly a Dragonfly ultralight, but flying helicopters is against my religion. I'm a devout coward.

Quro um como faz muito bom

que motor eu uso para carregar 2 pessos e o rotor qual eu uso ?

If you see the cross-wind in the tree tops then you might guess why he didn't try to go higher!

Wrong. One moving part fails, depending highly on what part, and you autorotate to the ground. Otherwise we wouldn't fly them.

would be safer with wheels or at least balls on the ends of the legs, bit of a scary take off but a cool machine none the less.
