Very simple way to answer the question.

Do you want to flip?
-If answer is yes, start flipping.
-If answer is no, then do not start flipping.

I think you mean year and a half, and time is irrelevant, it is all about the individual.  It all depends on your skiing/athletic ability combined with the size of your balls.

time doesnt matter...if u think u can do a flip then just commit and keep trying till you land it..at ur level learning tricks is a pretty simple process... 1. visualize 2. commit 3. repeat

That probably depends on the skier.

Don't ask us whether you should start flipping or not. Do what's fun, thats what skiing is about right?

if you are going to start fliping, start with backflips. they are much easier and feel more natural. a friend of mine told me that if you can ski well then you can phisically backflip. i think it mostly depends on your mindset though
