THANKS GUYS !!!! LHS is closed today, just got back. I think the 3-1 is fried[:@]. The only way this could have happened is when I hit the IDLE UP switch while it was on the ground.......but it was only for a few seconds. I'm going to order a new 3-1, plastic blades, and some other junk for it. With the problem I'm having.........Is there ANY way it could be the RX ??????? I hope not.......and I also hope that these 3-1's are'nt that easy to fry. If they are, I might as well pick up a dozen of them.
