Not one to wait, I jumped in and ordered my Raptor 30 v2 today. Here's the damage:

I've yet to pick up Morgan's Cool Power 15% Nitro fuel. I'll have to do that sometime soon. Maybe. First thing is first, though: gotta get my copy of Ray's Authoritative Helicopter Manual. Maybe I'll even find a club nearby.

Cough. Damn. When we raced remote control boats when I was a kid, I remember that the radio controller was always one of the more expensive pieces, but I'm only now reminded that the boats only needed relatively simple controllers, because there wasn't a lot to control.

Also you just successfully made me feel better about my compulsion to buy a new snowboard. ;-p

I've always wondered, do RC helicopters have an auto throttle? i.e. you manage the collective and there's some device that manages the throttle?
