Mini-500

The Mini-500 is a lightweight, single-seat helicopter originally designed as a kit-built aircraft in the 1990s. While the original model struggled with reliability, this version embraces the Stitt Industries design, upgrading the Mini-500 with a Solar T-62 turbine engine for increased power, stability, and performance. Compact and agile, the Mini-500 is perfect for low-level exploration, tight landings, and exhilarating solo flights.

Built from the ground up using Microsoft Flight Simulator’s native helicopter SDK, this rendition features an authentic flight model, fully interactive cockpit, and immersive sound design recorded from real turbine aircraft. Whether you’re a helicopter enthusiast or a first-time rotorcraft pilot, the Mini-500 delivers a thrilling and responsive flying experience.
