 One Sweet Warbird. Beginner's ReviewApr 21, 2011
By Wayne Bengston
This was my first aileron plane, but my 3rd plane overall. I got comfortable with a Night Vapor and a Ember 2 first.
It came with one prop angled further down than the other, and the wheels are drilled off-center. Other than that, it looked good, and I found that the defects caused no real problems.
For my first flight, I found the Mosquito to be too fast for me to react, and I crashed it soon after getting it off the ground. The horizontal stabiliser folded and I repaired it with packing tape.
I decided to get an Ultra Micro Trojan to train with, as I have heard that the Mosquito is not as tough as the Trojan, and that the Trojan is easier to fly. I did find the Trojan to be tough and it is easier to fly, though not that much easier. The tough part was important, as I crashed it due to the everpresent Cordelia wind, many times, with no real damage. The Trojan is also easier to land with landing gear, due to the tricycle gear, and lands at a slower speed.
After I had gotten comfortable with the Trojan, I returned to the Mosquito. I find that the Mosquito is smoother and less responsive in flight, than the Trojan, but it requires more speed and is faster than the Trojan. I find it to be easier to fly in wind than the Trojan with stock batteries, but the Trojan is easier to fly in wind than the Mosquito when using a 180 mah Hyperion.
The Mosquito will begin to settle toward the ground and stall at a higher rate of speed than the Trojan. I find it easier to do loops with the Mosquito, but the loops are bigger, as are turns. It also rolls slower.
Due to the wheel that is drilled off-center, it pulls to one side while it is on the ground, and the steerable tail-wheel does not stop the pull. Once it is moving quickly enough, the rudder becomes effective and stops the pull. I pint the plane to the right and give it throttle, which causes the plane to turn left to the desired heading, before the rudder takes control.
I really like the sound of the twin motors. The Mosquito has a great presense in the air, and I find it to be a beautiful aircraft. It gets lots of oohs and ahhs from family and friends. I have landed it in grass a couple of times, and noses it over once, with no further damage. The battery gets pretty warm in flight, since it has no cooling air. I usually fly it at 1/2 throttle, unless climbing or doing loops. I get 5 minute flights from the stock battery and have not tried other batteries yet.
I really like this aircraft, and would purchase it again.

Great buy for intermediate RC flyers, great buy overall!Jun 29, 2011
By Ray
This is a great airplane. I haven't flown RC planes in a long time and this is my first plane, guess you can say my comeback airplane :) but anyway I have never flown anything this forgiving considering its size. I wouldn't really recommend it for beginners, this is more of an intermediate level. Still I am amazed at this airplane overall. The twin engines eliminates torque that you would have in a single engine aircraft and provides A LOT of power; I have saved myself from many would-be low altitude crashes just by applying full throttle and pulling the stick back. Takeoffs are short and also depending on throttle, you can take off at 3/4 throttle but will take more room. Landing is a little bit fast though and requires the most skill out of flying this airplane as this Mosquito has the glide characteristics of a brick. For a small airplane it can take wind pretty well. This is an overall great airplane with many scale details to compliment its superb flight characteristics. Would recommend it (provided they have some experience) to any RC pilot!
 Manufacturing problemJan 09, 2012

I bought 2 Mosquito MK VI and both with defects, have engine failure after 4 minutes of use. In one of them I've changed both engines and the problem continues, it seems the problem is with the electronics. I bought other models like the ParkZone P-51D Mustang, Corsair and I haven't had any problems.
I really like this model but unfortunately has quality problems that must be corrected
I informed to Horizon Hobby of the problem, but it is very expensive to return it because I live in another country
Ultra Micro MosquitoSep 08, 2011
By Mike H.
Bets micro flyer yet. This thing is stable, semi fast , maneuverable and flys like a bigger model. It is so stable I put lights on it from Tiny Bright Lights and fly it at night. The model also looks very scale, not twitchy like most micros. Comes in a nice carry box so you can take it almost anywhere. It handles wing well, 5 mph or so is no issue, of course on a calm day or indoors it excels. Run time is about 8 minutes or so on a full charge. Props are counter rotating so no torque issues. Fun little plane, I enjoy it more than the other micros I have, Beast, Cub, SU26xp.
Good things in small packagesJul 17, 2011
By Kevin
My brother and I gave this plane to our Dad for Father's Day. He has about 23 planes from micros to giant scale and the Mosquito was a great addition to the fleet! We already have several different micros and this one outshines them all. It flies like a much larger plane. The twin engines provide a very stable flight, but amazingly it will roll with the greatest of ease. Most micros struggle a bit on the ground with their tiny wheels, but the Mosquito has oversized wheels which result in a nice rollout for takeoff. I HIGHLY recommend this plane!! Well done!
