That is my situation as well.

So far I've flown helicopters in the Canadian Military, civil flight schools, EMS, VFR charter and offshore IFR. In every role I've spent at least some time in the instructor's/training pilot's chair. I still enjoy it and wish there was a school close enough to my home to continue to ab-initio instruct. I'm considering making the leap to finish my plank instructor rating to get back into it regularly.

Training has taught me so much about flying, other people, myself, and theaviation business that I can't imagine ever leaving it behind.

The only caveat is to never, ever to do it for less than the guys/gals who are earning their keep by doing it. It is completely unfair to them and a disservice to the industry.
