Don't let the helis intimidate you. They just take a ton of practice and patience.
I learnt on my twister 3D storm and it was many many hours before I even lifted her off the ground.
The first step is to slide her around on a smooth surface on the ping pong ball training legs and get used to the controls and fine tune the Tx settings. You are not going to break anything starting that way.
No reason you can't learn a heli at the same time as fixed wing.
Most importantly have fun as you learn the subtle craft of RC flying, the PRCAC members will be your greatest asset, a ton of experience to draw on and the best bunch of people you'll find anywhere.
Cheers
