Convert-A-Mosquito This package includes drawings, parts and a pre-modified Futaba radio (the drawings are not yet specific to the Mosquito, but will soon be updated). With a little work, you'll soon be learning how to hover using the control system on your Mosquito helicopter. When you're ready, you simply shed your earthly shackles and fly away in your Mosquito ultralight helicopter. This method of learning by far exceeds what you can learn with a flight simulator, and let's face it, with an ultralight helicopter you're not required to get flight instruction. It's up to you to be responsible enough to know your limits. If you absolutely do not want professional training, then this might be the next best alternative.

"Walk away hovering", 2 days, 12 hours total time on the Heli-Chair If you can travel to our facility and spend two days with us, we'll send you away in a hover. With the skills you learn, when you go to your flight school, you're going to be starting out where most people end up after at least 10 hours of instruction (at an average of $220/hour). The idea is to teach you the gross motor skills and basic coordination you'll need to fly. For any current and proficient fixed wing pilot, our course is guaranteed. For the complete rookie, we can only promise to do our best as learning styles and baseline knowledge will vary widely between students. Review the course curriculum here. | |

Cyclic Grip Upgrade This upgrade increases functionality by bringing more of the switches from the radio right to your fingertips. It is expensive because it's lots of extra parts (the grip itself is $175) and a lot of extra wiring. We'll add some wires to the radio to hook directly to the switches. We can configure the cyclic grip however you want and there will always be the option of changing some of the assignments in the future. We don't recommend this for the basic customers who only want to learn to hover. | |

Auxillary Power Unit Let us mount a dual high-capacity battery unit directly underneat the seat of your Heli-Chiar. This extends the operational time of your transmitter to well over 10 hours in most circumstances. You can also use the battery for starter motors and other equipment that you may decide to use (including video transmitters, goggles, etc.) | |

Basic Heli-Chair Unit without the goodies. The most inexpensive Heli-Chair package is the "Basic Heli-Chair Unit". You will be required to supply us with your radio transmitter, which will be modified to interface with the Heli-Chair. Your radio will NOT be tied exclusively to the Heli-Chair. You will be free to use it, any time you choose, in the exact same way that you use it now. Note that you will have to build your own helicopter and acquire the necessary field gear to keep it operating. This option is recommended for persons already involved in model helicopters. Note, the basic package does not include paint! | |
