    Which would you rather learn Plane or Helicopter?





    Going for my pilots license this next spring because flying a plane is something I always wanted to learn. But what about you which would you pick or would you want to learn something else?

    Plane seems far safer but I don't know the first thing about piloting or flying (never have) soooo I'll go with plane

    I feel like plane would be a fair bit easier and safer.

    How would a llama fly either? They don't have thumbs.

    Is it legal to park an helicopter in your own backyard if it's large enough? If so then I would go with that. If not then plane it is.

    I have flown planes (Cesnas and a glider) and I look forward to eventually having the money to get a pilots license. Ultimately I think flying helicopters is even cooler. Being able to be much more flexible with where you land would be awesome. I may be biased because I know a bunch of Army helicopter pilots.

    Depends where you live. But you probably have to log a flight plan.

    Helicopters take a bit more coordination.

    I think I might find more use for a "plane license" but both would be fun.

    Eventually get a jet pilot rating. Helicopter license seem easier and faster to get so I could do that after.

    Neither, I don't have a use for them.

    gyrocopter capable of STOL ( 50 meters for start AFAIK, landing much shorter )
    you may know it from engineering in WoW, their flight machine is such a thing... or you know it from James Bond "You Only Live Twice". as Little Nellie was not a prop, it
    was real action ( ok, a skilled pilot as stand in for S. Connery of course)

    Helicopter is a much more difficult sexual position.
    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

    I believe plane is easier to learn that helicopter, so plane first, helicopter second.
