Helicopter Redeye:
Great post, and the best advice I have seen on here in ages.
Chopperchav:
You've got the helicopter (and a very nice one, if it's the one I'm thinking of that I was drooling over yesterday...
), so why not give the commercial licence a run? As Redeye says, at the worst you'll decide you don't want to fly for a living, you'll still be enjoying your Raven II and your flying will have improved significantly.
Go for it!
