He summed up the situation with this: Airplanes barely work. Helicopters don't work. aerobatics or sailplanes recommended.

Helicopters have a tendency to shake themselves apart. I planned to get a helicopter add-on rating where the school had two helicopters. They could never keep them flying, always in maintenance. I finally gave the idea up after one of them had a hard landing on the back of the skids and the main rotor cut the tail rotor off. Helicopters are best flown by entities with deep pockets in my opinion.

Anyone have advice about taking helicopter lessons? There's a Bell 47 trainer nearby with a small flight school. Perhaps our Lancair family can render comment (either way).
