Glad to have a fellow heli-head onboard. Welcome!

Cool! I can't wait to start flying. Have looked into different private flight schools. It is true that fixed wing are easy to learn on that helis, right?

Does anyone know if a yacht has ever had or does have a VTOL jet/plane? I reckon they're better than heli's as they're faster and longer range. You can practically live on your yacht...OK OK if you're a billionaire I know...anyhow use your MY as a mansion and office/business HQ on water and just fly anywhere you want...hehe.

How much are the above helis.

Carl, are there any good heli forums like this one? It's a wonder Greg Norman didn't have his heli on his Aussie Rules (now renamed) or design a pad onto it.

Oh btw that Lady Moura sure is beautiful.

Ciao,

Adam.
