Greetings! Just saw a post in the Helisimmer that you guys are flying MI-8 helis and are looking for cadets!
Little info regarding myself:
IRL Student pilot (LAPL(S) holder and PPL(A) student)
My first ever flying experience was actually in an MI-8 in Montenegro where my father worked in the military and managed to get me on board. That was when I fell in love in flying.
Not up untill recently (2 years-ish) that I've started flying virtually on ESP and x-plane platforms and I would count myself fairly experienced in different aircraft systems. So you could imagine my joy when I noticed that there is a properly modelled MI-8 out there! I just had to install DCS. The main issue is that it is a quite a learning curve and would appreciate an instructor and some tips regarding how to properly fly this thing. I assure you, I am going to read the manuals and want to understandevery part of flying this heli.

Best regards,

Drago Blagojevic

And yes, I did create an account for myself!
