BANJO. MY ONLY ADVICE IS GO FOR IT! FLYING HELIS IS A LEGAL DRUG, ONCE YOU START YOU CANT STOP!! IVE BEEN TRAINING/PLEASURE FLYING FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE RACKED UP A MEASLY 80 HOURS ON AROUND 7 DIFFERENT HELIS INCLUDING ROBBOS, SWIEZERS,JETBOXES GAZZELLES AND EC130S HAS COST ME A FORTUNE BUT IVE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT AND DONT REGRET 1 PENNY.
WHO KNOWS ONE DAY I MIGHT EVEN DO MY FIRST SOLO.
FINANCIALLY THE ADVICE I WOULD GIVE IS DONT PAY FOR THE WHOLE COURSE UP FRONT, AND EVERYONE CAN SLATE ME FOR THIS IF THEY WANT. BUT HELICOPTER SCHOOLS HAVE A HABIT OF DISSAPEARING OVERNIGHT, ALONG WITH YOUR TRAINING MONEY, SO PICK A LARGE OUTFIT THAT ARE BUSY AND YOU KNOW WILL STILL BE THERE 2 YEARS DOWN THE LINE.
I WAS TRAINING WITH FLIGHTWORKS AT COVENTRY AND NOW THEYVE GONE BANKRUPT SO IM GLAD I DIDNT PAY UP FRONT.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU, AND WHEN YOU GET TO HOUR 10 AND YOU CAN HOVER AND SMILE AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL KNOW IT WAS MONEY WELL SPENT!
PS WHEN YOU TELL THE GIRLS IN THE PUB YOU FLY HELIS ITS BLOODY GREAT
