    The license requirement is for the entire experimental class, not the just Mosquito specifically. In the experimental class ONLY you may fly any category of experimental aircraft with any private pilot license. If you are licensed for balloon you could fly fixed wing or rotor wing as well. If you are licensed for heli you could fly fixed and balloon etc. etc. BUT this only applies as long as you are the only one on board (absolutely no passengers at any time in an aircraft category you are not rated in) and that aircraft can not have more than two seats - you could not fly a 4 place fixed wing on a heli license but you could fly a two place. All of that said you still need to learn to fly the category of aircraft you will be operating and since add-ons to your primary rating are 15 hours dual/15 solo by the time you learn the new aircraft type you are almost at your license anyway.

    This unique situation is most beneficial to those that have access to other types of aircraft through friends, family or other circumstances where they can get enough time to learn to fly the alternate aircraft type. Father/son, two business partners, a very generous employer .....

    For your license you need to meet the FAA minimum of 20 hours dual and the remainder if you are ready can be done in any other ship in certificated or experimental class including the Mosquito - you can not log any hours towards a certificate in an ultralight aircraft (fixed or rotary wing).

    The aircraft specific training is just that, if you will be flying a Mosquito then in addition to flight training you will be instructed in setup rigging, balancing and maintaining your ship and its mechanics, avionics. If you were flying a Rotorway for example you would get the same specific training in that aircraft. The cost is unspecific because it is set up with each individual and depend how in depth they want to go - this is billed at $55 per hour.

    Sorry to be so late in responding, either we don't get an email notification of messaging waiting here or we missed. best to email us directly at info@rotorfx.com.

    (2 or more parts due to space restrictions of forum)

    But back to your questions. Actually the entire XE line has the same fuel capacity, the XEL is listed as 5 gal but the tank is actually 12 same as the others. The 103 regs say you can not "carry" more than 5, you can have the capacity for any volume but you must not fill beyond 5 so the XE helicopters are all identical in that respect. As far as the actual fuselage the only model which is structurally different is the XET because the demands are different for the horizonatally mounted engine and the heavier gearbox. You can upgrade from an XEL or an XE to an XE3 but not to an XET.

    Rotor F/X,

    I've been looking at the Mosquito and have a few questions. Sorry if they seem foolish.

    Since all of the Mosquito XE kits are the same except for the powerplant and fuel capacity I should be able to purchase the XE kit and later upgrade to XE3 or the XET without any major alterations, correct?

    For license I need 20hrs instruction (minimum) and the remainder of the 40hrs (minimum) could be achieved in the Mosquito XE?

    You offer an "Aircraft Specific Expanded Private Pilot Course" can you explain how this would apply (and approx cost if possible)?

    Finally, the XE models only require a Fixed Wing Pilots License...why/how is this possible for the Mosquito but I don't see other single passenger heli kits stating the same information?

    Thank you for any answers you can provide...
