I had a Venture 30 before I purchased my Raptor 30 v2. The reason I opted for the R30 after 4 months with the Venture was the repair cost and wait time to get parts. The LHS stocks R30 parts and repair cost are less expensive. A small tail rotor strike on the ground cost me $75.

The part I like most about the hobby is fixing and wrenching on the heli. Even the best pilots crash, so that puts you in elite company. :-)
