That's pretty sweet - I really want one myself. Is it pretty difficult to learn? Have you tried a simulator at all?
I will answer with my (limited) knoledge:
A Raptor 60 is a big chopper, this makes it easy to learn and fly on as it has a greater mass, thus is less affected by prop wash and wind. However, when you crash, it is alot less kind on the wallet!
Reflex XTR is the only good heli sim out there (my opinion).
