Should I take the Mosquito pill? I would probably get an XEL. This might be a pipe dream, but I want to commute in one of these.

P.S: I know it is a death trap, but it is better than a Helicycle, plus the Mosquito Factory is close to home.

Maybe? What is your experience with helicopters, anon?

I have some simulator time (in an actual simulator, not a video game) and have flown radio controlled helicopters in the past.

I used to have this really tiny non-stabalized remote control heli and it was one of the hardest things to fly because any kind of turbulence would send it off, especially at takeoff and landing

Those are the ones I had.One was made by Blade. I almost bought their Bo-105, I regret not doing it (it is one of the rarest Blade helicopters, third to only the Huey and 700 sport heli).

Aside from being a death trap it isn't useful for anything. Bingo fuel is literally 20 minutes of flight time with a max climb rate of 900ft/min and never exceed airspeed of 70mph.

In other words you likely have to refuel after every single touch 'n go around a small grass strip.

if anything, its lack of usefulness unironically makes it sound useful for personal transport

20 minutes is all I need. at 70 mph my longest commute would be 8 minutes, plus I pass the local airport on that route.

How do you think a Mosquito compares to a Helicycle or any of theose newfangled coaxial jobs from the Czech Republic?
