I have two friends who each own and fly a Rotorway Exec, but, those machines are top notch, with all the updates. They tell me that the older versions (and most certainly the straight "Rotorway" of the day, are an avoid). I had considered an older Rotorway I came across, but they convincingly talked me out of it. The Exec is out for me, as I'm 6'3", and simply don't fit, much less with a helmet on.

The fact that you have "a place" for a helicopter may not mean that your place is well suited for one. Go and take a few lessons in an R22 (firstly to see if you like truly small helicopters) and have your instructor take you into your place in it. If they wince in the least at the idea, you probably should not pursue it. Having the place is one thing, that place having suitable approaches is another aspect.
