    Welcome!

    Welcome Fireball and thank you for your application. Don't bother with other fixed wing module. Just stick with the Rotaries. wink (in general, you can't have a decent level in any modules if you are flying too many of them). I recommend you though to try to get familiar with a transport helicopter too like the Mi8 (this will work well with the Ka50) because our missions are not always covering all the platforms. 

    Anyway. I saw you did the right thing and joined the BSD discord channel. You just need to get an IP on the channel (Fargo, Eagle-Rising or myself for the Ka50)  and setup an introduction flight for your quick evaluation. You have 1 month to do your evaluation flight. Then we are asking our pilots to fly at least once a month to maintain currency.

    See you very soon!

    Welcome Fireball! 

    As Bad said get with one of us (Red or Blue guys on Discord) to set up a flight. The Ka-50 works a little different from the others, trim is different as its made to fly itself allowing you to go heads down in cockpit and use the weapons. Mi-8 or a Huey is a great choice for a lift/gunship chopper to have, or both if you can catch a sale. I like them both but lean more to the UH-1H for a new pilot to rotary wings as its more forgiving as far as VRS, simple systems IMO.

    To quote my buddy Nero on the KA-50 "Controlling the KA-50 feels like a discussion with the autopilot and trim system about the flight direction"

    :) Look forward to flying with you.

    BK

    Thanks all,

    This last week has been a real rollercoaster with work (I work at a hospital) and with family.

    I hope to fly with you all soon.
    I will be organizing the first flight soon

    See you on Discord
