Ultralite helicopter

Just back from Bensen days and Sun'n Fun.  I flew (hover taxiied) a 254# 
legal ultralite helicopter.  I was amazed at the lack of any tendency to 
depart to a foreign zip code.  The little Mosquito Air felt more stable to

me than a Bell 47.
At Sun'n Fun John Snider demonstrated several autos to the ground in his 
experimental class Mosquito.  Some of the autos were hovering autos from
as 
high as 15-20 ft.  John also has produced an outstanding video showing 
the 
techniques he uses in doing full down autos from varying positions and
also 
demonstrates  stretching and shortening the auto to reach a good spot.  He

also demonstrates a throttle chop with the collective held showing how
long 
it takes the rotor to decay.  While a bit pricey as videos go ($90)  it is

well worth the price and a must have if you are a Mosquito owner or 
considering a Mosquito or just want to walk thru some autos while in your 
easy chair.
