The PPLH will be of no use if you don't own a helicopter to fly.
Either a myth...or I was very lucky with where I lived. I hired helicopters in the same way people hire club f/w aircraft, though it cost more of course. As a PPL(H), I flew hired aircraft to friends' houses, on a mountain flying course, and to Paris! And that's just what I remember after many years. But check into it first of course.
Try both for a few hours each....
Excellent advice. You may find you prefer one to such an extent (helicopters, I suspect, but I'm biased
) that all other arguments go out the window.
