Lmh
I agree a flight simulator is the best way to go.
If you have big bucks and big bucks to keep it in the air go that way. I started out with a Concept 30 and had a great instructor. I now have a LMH AND LOVE IT. For under $600 you can get in the air with a LMH. Thats no money when talking helis. And besides I dont know one person that has only one plane or heli or dont have plans to get another. I have seen more than one person that has gotten discuraged and gave up. I LOVE THIS SPORT and I think thats sad. I am thinking about getting a raptor. I will probly use the LMH as a trainer to teach other. I realy think for some it is the best way to go.
