Helicopter licenses are like 10 times harder to get than airplanes. And helicopters are like 10 times as expensive. A helicopter is about 10 times the price of a plane in a similar category unless you want to get a homemade one... Something about having some DIY's fab work flying makes my stomach turn a little after seeing what some people do to jeeps.
But yeah helicopters are bad ***, gotta start small first though.
