Extreme Danger
I'm much like the previous. I did my PPL(A)and immediately switched to helicopter training after passing my fixed wing flight test. I flew for a week, every day and then 2 hours every week after that until I passed. Alogether it came to 38 hours including the flight test.
Do I enjoy it ? Well I have flown 2 hours in a fixed wing since starting to fly helicopters two years ago. My PPL(A) is now lapsed and I'm not looking back. Not only is it great fun, you get the benefit of taking the mick out of the fixed wing only guys when there runway is waterlogged !
The best advice I can offer is to get yourself on the R22 safety course as soon as you can after you've passed. It'll scare you, make you sweat, but you'll learn things on that course you should have been taught while you were training. Can't recommend it enough.
