SASLESS has good advice in theory , the problemwith doing a f/w then a H addon, is you wont get a job. 99% of the first jobs you will get are in the R22, and due to insurance that these operators get and the sfar (req 200 hrs helicopter, plus make and model), you will never qualify.

I would stay away from traning in the H300 . the R22-300 debate is a whole other can of worms that I care not to debate. Make your won mind up about where the job is going to be. If you weigh more than 200 youll have to train in the 300. And dont believe a operator if he tells you youll have no problem getting an CFI job in a r22 at 200 Plus pounds... he is full of crap. espically out west where you are talking where it is high and hot...

or take SASless better advice and go starch wing..
