first solo

hello everyone
i am new to this section, i hold a jaa and an faa fixed wing atpl, although i have been always fascinated by helicopters. I would like to know how many hours it would normally take a fixed wing pilot to solo in a helicopter. If that is the right time to discontinue the training for a while and if based on your experience, what kind of maneuvers i could expect to accomplish is in , let's say, 10 hrs - takeoff, landing, hovering-?

Many thanks
