John Uptigrove, Innovative Technologies (3/15/11)
One of the most fascinating bits of aviation technology is the Mosquito ultralight helicopter. Not only is it great that a helicopter can be built that meets the requirements of Part 103, but it looks great, too. John Uptigrove joins us to talk about the aircraft.
