FastCow is the developer of the Cicare8 FCP Heli, an Argentinian light Helicopter, it is really very well done albeit not very popular because it is a new dev and also a new Heli. It has 0 reviews in the Marketplace.
Today in the FastCow discord I learned the dev lost his home to Hurricane Helene so I thought it would be a cool idea if all that can would buy this Heli, give it a 5 star review (it is really nice) and enjoy having a light Heli for MSFS and at the same time help a family deal with the recent disaster.
Mods: If you think this should be moved somewhere else please do, I wasn’t sure where to post it.
Thanks!

Great idea LuisArgerich.
I’ve heard good things about FASTCOW and I’ll buy this one for sure.

I’m sure you did, but this thread is about the addon developer FASTCOW
Thanks. I value grammatical precision, and I appreciate the correction.
Its a bit to much horrible weather right now, floods in eastern europe, nepal, usa just the last week!
And we still have people thinking this is natural!
There is a very small window we can grow food in, THAT is what the biggest problem is with what we are doing to the earth!
Not just a little bit of raised oceans!
I will buy his chopper first thing in the morning when I wake up!
Hopefully it at least helps him a little bit!

Can never have too many (good) helos, and if you say it’s good, I trust that. Purchasing in a bit.

Bought it and on my maiden flight now!
Its a nice flying chopper!
Feels alive like the cowan R22!
Great 3d model and visibility out of the cockpit!
With an xbox controller I recommend reducing the sensetivity on the cyclic, I have -75, that calms it down nicely.
Only complaint is that it seems hard finding the sweetspot for forward flight, I keep bobbing up and down, going to play a bit more with the sensetivity settings and dial it out.
But I like it!
This is one of those choppers where I feel I really wished I had full helicopter controls to fly with, to really have fun with it!
And sure hope more buys it so we can help the guy out as much as possible!
Edit: Nevermind the lower sensetivity, its much less pilot induced oscillation when just flying with the default controller settings now that I am getting the hang of this little guy.

Thank you @LuisArgerich for this great idea! The Cicare is a beautiful little helicopter and worth buying on its own merits. The main developer Justin was just preparing another update when disaster struck. Justin has been very responsive to user input and is passionate about this project, working together with the manufacturer of the real-life Cicare. I was really shocked to read on Discord that his home was destroyed by the Hurricane. He really deserves our support!
