The New Got Friends Mini 500

Featured Replies

Not alot of chat on here about the new Mini500 chopper.

Just thought I'd post up to see if anyone on here purchased it (only 15bucks US) and having a fun time with it.

Great product, right up there with the quality of their Wilga.

Anyway, if you fly it, let me know what you think.

Personally, I love it.  A heap of fun.

Enjoy!

Do you have the CowanSim Big 500?

How does it compare with it, or the Cabri flight feeling wise?

I fly the 500e a fair bit and being a two seater, it feels different but just as nimble as the mini500.  Cowansim did a great job of the 500e.

I'm a huge fan of GotFriends quality and the mini is a great partner to their Wilga.  Just a fun single seat chopper to get around in.

I have never flown the Cabri so sorry mate, I can't compare.  What I can say is that for 15 bucks, it's a steal and worth every penny mate.

I'm tempted.  I'm not a helisimmer but it looks like a good place to start, and GF have talent..

Update was just released.

For anyone who hasn't got this one yet, it's highly recommended -  flies wonderfully and is an absolute gas!

G'day everyone,

 

I love this little machine but I wonder if anyone has managed to map opening the doors to a hardware switch? I've tried to find LVARs etc but no luck.

 

Cheers
