Thanks for all the advice. Quite like that description of the difference between choppers and f/w!
On my trial flight, I really did enjoy the hands on experience, the viz was great, and i guess it was the versatility and that "helicopter experience" that made me really enjoy it.
Combine that with your excellent advice, and i think i might just give it a crack.
Time to start saving!!
