I just wrote a nice big reply but lost it all....nice....so here it is in brief.
1. Helicopter industry is just as hard if not harder to crack than fixed wing (in my opinion)
2. Will cost you alot more to achieve
3. Money is not as good etc etc
4. Training overseas, loads of links. but in general, conversion costs etc, meeting the right people, blah blah, loads more im sure.
Anyway there's my ten cents worth
Good luck
