Oh come on K77, you know I wasn't trying to give you a hard time. I just see a lot of people think they know what they want when it comes to helicopters and then waste a lot of money over it through bad planning. The whole flying thing is so expensive and can literally change your life for years. I'm one of the self funded ones and know exactly what you're going through. It took me 12 years to get a full time salaried flying position from starting my ppl(h) in 1994. Ok I did my instructors rating etc, inbetween, but it took a lot of time, effort and money.

Please don't stop posting. I think Fly 7 is right. You definitely have enthusiasm.
Just focus on the important things, ie not going off and buying helmets and flying suits and sim time if you don't really need them. That would probably buy you 4 or 5 hours in the air.
