[net.aviation] looking for info - fixed wing vs. other

ss@wivax.UUCP (Sid Shapiro) (11/27/83)

Can anyone give me some information please?  I am considering flying
lessons.  I have always been interested in helicopters.  Are there any
'copter pilots out there?  Does anyone have any facts about the pluses
and minuses of helicopter lessone vs. fixed wing aircraft?  Money?
Ease of flying and lessons? time?  Why do you fly?  
How much to rent/buy craft?
Any and all info would be most appreciated.  

If there is enough and it is interesting, I'll summarize for the rest
of you...
Thanks,
--
