The Van is great, i have 1300hrs on her, she is good fun to fly. There is one problem going onto her with such low time, you are going to end up P2 on her for 1000 hrs at least before anyone will give you command, it will frustrate you to hell and back sitting right seat of a single crew aircraft. Try the Delta or Namibia and get a 210 or 206 job to build up command and total time, that way you wont get bored of flying the Van and you can get command rather quick once you do the rating. 50hrs and a conversion? is this one of those buying hrs scams? watch out for those!

Good luck
