I just bought two #36 off ebay. I got one with a brushles motor, lipo battery , & carbon blades. the other is a complete copter with no eletronics. This way I have spare parts on hand . I also got, 1 extra battery, 3ext ra sets of top and rear blades. and simulator cable . The total came to $430 with shipping.
I haven't been able to find a Sim cable for the #36. Let me know if the Sim cable you got works.
What sim program are you using it with?
