Default Helicopter Repairs?

Hi,

I was recently given an offer to repair helicopters in a local hobby shop. Nothing has yet been discussed.

I would like to know from someone who worked in a similiar position, how fullfilling the job is?

I love helicopters but would like to know if i make this my work, will i get to hate helicopters for the rest of my life? I do not want to risk my liking for the hobby to turn into something negative.

Secondly, what can one expect to get paid, the person mostly deal in raptors and has many clients.

Would i have to build and setup the radio and all, or just build the heli and leave the rest to the client?

Any information, advise or help would be very appreciated. Information is so hard to find on these topics, i would just more or less like to know what i can expect out of this job? Is it worth quiting a dayjob over this or is it mainly for the guy who's doing it for the love of it not really the momey?

Thank you

Pete
