I'm a long time fixed winger (c 1973) who started
flying helicopters two years ago and loved it.

Except for the expensive hourly rate, I'd a lot
rather be flying a heli for sightseeing/pleasure
flights. Of course, the fixed wing wins when you
need to travel somewhere, or when the conditions
are IFR.

The problem I've got right now is that the closest
FBO with helicopters for rent is more than an
hours drive from my house. Also, as I've learned
more about the R22, I've become a skeptic about
its low-inertia rotor system.
