Darn , there is always a catch isn't there .

Wheres the belly hook. Looks like a great vertical reference machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CTD]

Yikes.

 

[T-rex]

407,
I believe the gas tanks are even big enough for an Alpine decal! (I don't know about any skis though) 😀 😀 😀

 

[Bambi Bucket]

I guess his pants were to heavy to leave on for the flight.

 

[MagSeal]

lookie there, he's got a helmet that looks rated for the highway. So when he crashes in the centre median, the police won't have to issue him a ticket for improper head gear.

And I suppose it's not carrying enough fuel to need to worry about fire retardent clothing.

 

[Vertical Mag]

How'd you like to be the first poor b*st*rd to take it for the flight test?!

If you look close enough...doesn't that look like CTD???

Look for an upcoming flight test report!

Well I was dumb enough to buy an RAF 200 about ten years ago.

Having admitted to such a lapse of thought process here in front of all you people who thought I was perfect I can now comment on the Mosquito.

First would one of you guys who are more skilled than I do a run on auto with it on the grass so I can decide if I want one?

Rev.

Reverend C, it apears to me that a run-on could be fatal, I say "0" speed this one !

Hey Mike, If I fly this thing, will you print the pilots report (or obituary?)

GO HABS GO ...just eliminated Boston seconds ago !

 

[cyclic monkey]

I agree with all the comments above...........
But you have to admit that someone did alot of careful thinking and hard work to build this thing.
And there's no doubt about the result........it flies !! Well done.

Now that the pleasantries are done with, please excuse me while I run-like-hell in the other direction.

P.S. 407 Driver, or is your new name MTD (Mosquito Test Dummy) congratulations on making it to Senior Member level. It sounds good on you !!

My Gawd!!!!
Someone has gone and built the helicopter I wanted when I was six years old. Need the guns and rocket pods however. Calvin and Hobbes would love one I am sure.
I don't think there is much "Give" in the landing gear design and the seat doesn't look very crashworthy.
Not much of a vertical fin so TR failures will be fun ( Allouette or Lama Drivers can comment)
At least we do't have to worry about the cold weather limit - that will be a "human factors" limit. Still- knowing my demented snowmobile friends I can see some maniac buzzing around at -40. ( If he can get the heated cyclic, collective and face shield option.)
Having said that it would probably be a hoot as long as all goes well. 🙄

 

[sharky]

Looks like CTD at the controls, sporting his bmw helmet. (Needs a bit of sun on those chicken legs!)

 

[helicopper]

chroist... sure hope da boss doesn't catch wind of this thing!!!
😀 😀

 

[donnybrook]

Never mind the lack of pants, I don't see a trace of tighty-whiteys either! That thing must be REALLY fun to fly!!! (Unless they were "soiled" on the previous flight...)
