If you go to
http://www.easycopter.ch you will get some info, they run a two ship training school outside Lucern in Switzerland. I worked for their parent company Helog AG i Switzerland, had a go of it last summer, the easy copter has a rotax engine and it can fly in the frame but it cant hover out of ground effect. The swiss have a course of 10 hrs which teaches you the hover and other flight manuvers at a lot less than R22 hrs. they have agreement from Australian ,FAA and New Zealand Authorities that the 10 hrs will count for hours towards a ppl. Hope this info helps you out
