Brand new, factory built, never flown by anyone but the factory. Complete and ready to go, still at factory. This is the ultimate experience in performance, technology and pure "wow" factor. With a top speed over 100 mph and rated climb rate of 1200 feet per minute this performer will satisfy the most demanding pilot and turn heads and gather crowds wherever you travel. There is nothing like the pure power and sound of the turbine propelling your helicopter into performance parameters all others will envy.

This is legally recognized as a turbine helicopter!! Only a private fixed wing license is required to fly the Mosquito XET in the US. No helicopter license is needed.

The Mosquito XE airframe is a unibody construction made entirely of high quality fiberglass in a vinylester matrix. Body and structure are the same to minimize weight and maximize structural efficiency.

Engine: 90 hp (67 kW) Solar T62-2A1 turbine. The Solar T62 Titan is an American gas-turbine engine used mainly as a helicopter Auxiliary Power Unit, ground power generator or helicopter power-plant. General characteristics - Type: Turboshaft - Length: 33.41 in (84.86 cm) - Diameter: 21.375 in (54.293 cm) - Dry weight: 142 lb (64 kg) lb Components - Compressor: Centrifugal Impeller - Combustors: Annular reverse flow with six burners - Turbine: Radial inflow impeller - Fuel type: JP-4 / JP-5 / JP-8 - Oil system: Wet sump Performance - Maximum power output: 60 to 150 hp (45 to 112 kW Power Train: The primary reduction is bolted directly to the engine. A centrifugal clutch on the engine crankshaft permits startup of the engine without the load of the rotor. XET Engine Power is transmitted from the clutch to the driven pulley of the reduction through an HTD cog belt, one of the highest power to weight ratio power transmission methods available. The driven pulley houses the sprage clutch which permits the rotor to overspeed the engine during autorotation. Power is transmitted to a splitter gear box at the front of the tail boom through flex couplings and a floating drive shaft. The gear box sends power to the tail rotor through a drive shaft housed in the tail boom. Another floating drive shaft then transmits power to the secondary reduction at the top of the mast which drives the main rotor through a second high capacity HTD cog belt.

The main rotor is a semi-rigid configuration. Main rotor blades consist of an aluminum spar bonded to a wrapped aluminum sheet skin. Foam plugs at both ends prevent interior contamination and pumping losses. The tail rotor is also of a semi-rigid configuration with aluminum skin wrapped around a tube and foam plugs at either end. A 45 degree drag hinge is utilized to maintain tail rotor alignment.

The control system is unique to the Mosquito. Main rotor control is achieved from the floor mounted joystick and collective through a control mixer in the base of the main mast, then through push tubes in the mast up to the base of the swash plate. The swash plate is contained within the mast and is supported by a push tube located in the rotor shaft. Control rods on either side of the push tube transmit inputs through the rotor shaft to the control lever on top of the rotor shaft and then down to the blade pitch horns through pitch links.The tail rotor is controlled by the foot pedals through a push pull cable to an actuating lever on the tail rotor shaft. - Collective friction lock - Ground handling wheels - Vertical fin - Strobe - Aux fuel tank - VHF comm and transponder antennas and wiring (ready for radios) - New David Clark K10 helmet with headset
