I see what your saying but theres more chance of being killed in a road accident really. Chances are if the engine packs up you won't feel much anyway!

You lucky bastard. How much are you paying all in mate?

You can get helicopters for good money , i didnt realise how much they cost.

And you can land where you want as long as you have permission. I have a flat roofed 3 floor house lol.

Timbaland, basic course is circa £550 which includes the first two lessons of your PPL(H) and counts towards your license. I'm going to re-evaluate after that because the whole course consists of 27 excerices and is pretty intensive, and obviously not cheap

You can get a two seater kit for around 25k, although I'll be flying the Robinson 22 which is the most popular aircraft (pic below) these cost anywhere around 60-90k.



Would consider buying a kit if all goes well

Your as likely to die with brakes failing in your car as you are to have your engine fail in a chopper.
