Go for it.....you only live once and it's only money. Compared to some an Enstrom is still a good buy....still in production and spares available. I bought my own helicopter to fulfill my dream over 20 years ago...it costs me an arm and a leg to keep it airworthy as I don't use it commercially but I can fly when and where I want at a drop of the hat and enjoy every minute of flying I get.
