The New Got Friends Mini 500

[JaseMelbo 389]

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.

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
