The Aérospatiale SA 315B Lama is a French single-engined helicopter developed to meet hot and high operational requirements of the Indian Armed Forces. It combines the lighter Aérospatiale Alouette II airframe with Alouette III components and powerplant. The Lama possesses exceptional high altitude performance; on 21 June 1972, the type established a helicopter absolute altitude record of 12,442 m (40,814 ft), a record which remained unbroken as of September 2017.

SUITABLE FOR FG 2017 Versions and better !!!!

The team at FGUK are proud to release Version 1 of the Westland Scout, and it is a real refinement of the previous BETA version.
Although the cockpit and clickable switches are still a work in progress and will be updated in coming released the experience of this classic helicopter is well worth a try for anyone with a love of rotary.

Many missing textures and details have been added all over, both in and outside. New rotor detailing and animations for the main rotor as well as new textures for the tail rotor are also present.
The FDM has been fully updated and now performs incredibly close to real life data. Although it's worth remembering that this is an early generation helicopter and will require a different approach and finesse to newer models.

The Westland Scout was a light helicopter developed by Westland Helicopters. Developed from the Saro P.531, it served as a land-based general purpose military helicopter, sharing a common ancestor and numerous components with the naval-orientated Westland Wasp helicopter. The type's primary operator was the Army Air Corps of the British Army, who operated it in several conflict zones including Northern Ireland and the Falklands War. It was progressively replaced in British service by the Westland Gazelle in the reconnaissance role, and the larger Westland Lynx as a battlefield utility helicopter.

Suitable for FG 2017+ versions only !!

The Bell UH-1 Iroquois, commonly known as the "Huey," was a multipurpose utility helicopter famous for its use during the Vietnam War. Bell developed the powerful helicopter in the 1950s and produced more than 16,000 between 1955 and 1976, over 7,000 of which served in Vietnam. The aircraft were used primarily to transport troops, for medical evacuations, cargo transport, and aerial attack.

The UH-1H model was produced more than any other Huey, with the U.S. Army alone receiving nearly 4,850 aircraft. Many Hueys are still in use today, in both military and civilian capacities. Hueys have been used in firefighting missions, humanitarian aid efforts, research operations, and search and rescue duties.

Flight Character.

In basic trim it is tail heavy. Take off requires Right pedal and Cyclic towards the 1 o'clock position. 

Normal cruise  110-115kts.

Fast cruise  up to 125 kts.

VNE  around 150kts but you have to push the airframe quite hard to get to that.

Other  notes.:-

If you install this one, or the original  EC130 is separate custom aircraft directories, they should co exist  quite happily.

P.S.  Dont forget to put fuel in it   for the first time.
