Helicopters For All

The title of this blog is "Aviation for all", but I am sure you do not expect to be able to afford flying a helicopter - unless you are very rich!

Well, I have some news for you - owning a helicopter is possible even for the ordinary guys. Therte are many ways to do it - for example buying an ultralight helicopter or buying a share in one.

Probably the most exciting possibility is to have a homebuilt helicopter. What does it mean? Well, you guessed right, you'll build your helicopter at home!

Don't be afraid to search the Web for more information, to buy ultralight helicopter plans and to start working for your dream.

One thing you need to know about homebuilt helicopters is that they are regulated in different ways depending on the country where you are situated. For example in USA they are labeled as "experimental aircraft" and therefore have toi comply with special license requirements.

Make sure to check the exact rules in your country.

If you feel excited to build an ultralight helicopter for your own use, great, but don't forget you need to learn how to fly it first. Flying a helicopter is not easy at all and you need first to pass some education and exam.

Anyway, what I wanted to say with this post is that owning a helicopter is definitely an achievable dream if you are ready to work hard for it. Don't give up!

The best advice I can give you is to create a plan including when and how much time and money you can spend. First, plan your education - it may be as expensive as your homebuilt helicopter! It will take a lot of time as well. Then, plan how much time you can spend on building your helicopter. Finally, start action and make sure you stick to the plan.

Good luck!
