as far as getting your pilots license...it took me almost 6 months going every day for 4 hrs to get my private license, that is for airplanes though. should be about the same for a heli... my friend has been going for over a year just on the weekends hittin a lesson here and there..so its all in how much time you can dedicate to getting to the airport...
hope that helps

For a heli liscence you can expect to spend around 8-10g's and 500 hours. Flying is without a doubt the coolest thing I've ever done and if you really want go for it. Takes time, money and dedication but well worth it in the end.

After checking out your links I say go for it. Really you will want/need your liscence before you buy anything as the schools will provide a rental plane/heli. Experimental 2 seat heli would be cool as hell though.

lol but yeah flying by far is the most rewarding thing ive done, there is nothing that compares to it...Just be prepared to be REALLY PISSED OFF at how long it takes you to drive places..cuz flying is usually atleast twice as fast...
