my own LSA.

Maybe a Skyranger is within your budget:
http://www.volksflugzeug.eu/Preisliste.html (sorry, most of the
content there is in German)

but there are for sure some other options within similar price range,
maybe there are used ones available, too.

Or perhaps do a web search for "ultralight helicopter". Check out:
http://www.experimentalhelo.com/
One of the publishers, Stu Fields, hangs out in rec.avaition.rotorcraft,
so
you could post a question there asking whether an ultralight helicopter is
viable for someone only having airplane experience.

LOL
I'd probably come just about as near to getting a whirly as I would
building a kit plane. g
