Nice.  Listened to Jeff Dunham's book and he built one of those in college and really loves it.  Good luck and have fun with it.

Just working on my private and commercial pilots license as well as my instructor and instrument ratings. The chopper you see here is 250k new / 100k - 150k used :( so I won't have my Own anytime soon.

Selling my G8 to help free up some money for school :(

I've officially started flight school finally (the pic above was my intro flight on 8/10).  I'm 2 lessons in so far, it is AWESOME.  I can't wait to get to the point that I can get paid to fly everyday!  I'm a total noob, but I'm getting the hang of it slowly.... its easy to stay motivated though with as much fun as it is.

I cant wait to make this my new career.... I like my current job, but I dont love it.  I would *love* flying for a living though.

If you've ever been thinking about learning to fly helicopters, DO IT!  :)

Nice, grats!
I've always wanted to fly, but don't have the cash to do it without working full time, so I never have, plus I couldn't buy my own plane or copter, so it'd be like having a drivers license without a car.  :-\
Plus, I really like my job right now  :metal:

   My Z28 whistles whenever I push the pedal on the right, is that normal?
