Training:Which way round Rotor and plank?

HI Everyone,

This is my first post, so be gentle with me? I've been lurking for a few days, took me two days to look at all those photos's, amazing!

My question is this: I am starting my Cpl(H) this Spring, I think. Ultimately I have to get both rotor and plank ratings, but am not sure about which way to do it. Do I get rotor 1st and convert to plank; or is it more cost effective to get licence with cheaper plank hours and convert to rotor?

Or are they so completely different that I have to do both separately? I think the problem is that I have read, studied and anticipated this so much that my lack of actual experience (other than pax trips) has muddied my vision.

Please don't refer me to the archives, I've read all them too. I'll be in the Norwich area when I do it if that makes any difference?

Here's hoping? Oh and sorry if I can't reply immediately, but I will when I can,

Thanks again.
