The process of spontaneous excitation of quasi-perpendicular electrostatic ion-cyclotron (QPESIC) waves by an electron drift of sufficient magnitude, parallel to the external magnetic field, in a weakly ionized Maxwellian plasma containing one species of light positive ions and one species of heavy negative ones is analyzed from the standpoint of kinetic theory combined with the linear theory of perturbation. Attention is focused on the mode with the modal frequency close to the first ion-cyclotron harmonic of the negative (heavy) ions. It is found that the increase in the light-ions (not resonant to the wave analyzed) number density lowers both the maximum deviation of modal frequency from that of the ion-cyclotron harmonic and the threshold drift for spontaneous excitation of the mode.
