Helicopter add-on?

Thanks for the input. Personally, I'm not looking to get the rating so that I can make a living using it - I just want to have it and who knows, maybe some day I might buy something to scare myself with.

Might be fun to try both and see for yourself, first hand. Here's a little blurb from ANN that you might find interesting:

Robinson Captures 79% of N American Heli Production: World Domination To Follow

Piston Helos Continue To Gain Market Share Over Turbine Helos

The only thing that Robinson Helicopter does better than make helicopters is... selling them. Robinson Helicopter Company sales increased to nearly 80% of
all piston and turbine helicopters produced in North America during
the first half of 2004. According to AIA's North American
production figures, Robinson produced 343 helicopters during this
period, a 54% increase over the same period last year. Of those
helicopters, 115 were R22s and 228 were R44s. The North American
industry total was 433 helicopters, with Bell producing 36,
Schweizer 24, Sikorsky 16, MD 8, and Enstrom 6 helicopters."
