You can buy an ultra-light mosquito helicopter and fly with no license, no notin as well as fixed-wing same category.
Most people fly to the next airport and have coffee and go home.
It is a hobby, they are not really going anywhere.
The helicopter opens up lots of places and spaces with no airports.

I have taken 2 helicopter lessons in a Robinson R22. Loved the experience and was surprised how quickly I picked it up. This is definitely a possibility in my mind.
MY intention is mostly hobby flights with the occasional visiting of friends and family in NY, MD, and MA. Other than the dream "visit all 48 states", I doubt I'll be going much further than that.
Im still in the investigational stage but I like that I have more options. I know the "dangers" or flying a plane that has not been put together professionally, Im ok with those factors. Plus, I will know every part of my plane like I know ever part of my house and my cars. I know it isn't for everyone but that is what I love about this country of ours.
Anyone here have experience with experimental aircraft? Thoughts? Experiences?
