Light Sport Aircraft Pilot is a directory of aircraft that generally fit
into what are described as ultralight aircraft, advanced ultralight
aircraft,

John Uptigrove, the President of Innovator Technologies and designer of
the
Mosquito helicopter was at Airventure 2010 with several
different models of his Mosquito single place ultralight
helicopter.
John
first introduced his wide open bugs in your face, machine in
2002 and then in 2004 introduced the more conventional
looking XE model.
Both
models can be built and flown as legal part 103 ultralight
aircraft when powered by the 60 HP MZ 202 two stroke
aircraft engine. But to meet the weight restriction the XE
model must be float equipped. |

When you step up into the
experimental category with the Mosquito XE it can have 12
gallon fuel capacity vs. the 5 gallon for the ultralight
version. Over the years
the Mosquito XE has been flown with a number of engines on
it, including a jet engine. This year John showed up at
Airventure with a Hexadyne P60 twin cylinder 4 stroke
engine, neatly tucked away behind the pilot cabin. The
engine installation at Airventure was only partially
completed, the factory was still working on the cooling
system, ignition and fuel delivery system.
It was however a very neat installation and
if successful could open the door for pilot wanting a four
stroke alternative to power their Mosquito helicopters. The
Hexadyne P60 is 797 cc, puts out 60 HP at 5750 rpm and has a 9 to 1 compression ratio. It uses 4 valves per cylinder for better heat dissipation. It has an engine management system, with an electronic ignition system.
The engine is American made by Hexatron
Engineering in Salt Lake City Utah.
