Playing with semantics, if a pro agreed to power such a helicopter, he'd most likely be doing it as an amateur, since amateurs do things for the love of it! Pros take risks, but I'd theorise that a part of the career would be managing those risks, to maximise the career. It would be very cool to power the first human powered helicopter, but I suspect we are not typical, in that the typical punter cares more about sport than a helicopter. From a professional point of view, the fame and returns from piloting a helicopter are negligible compared to the rewards of improving in the Tour or the Giro. I'm descending into hot air production here, since I have no real evidence on which to base it!
