METHUSELAH here !

two pics : KING 3 plus mCX with Transmitter
I dared (DARED! ) to open the TX with the broken ANTENNA
and exchanged it for the new one.
then re-flipped the switches and got the mCX to fly again,
since the CX-2 has been turned into a ZOMBIE.

The PRECIOUS KING - 3 has been LIT UP. However, the gale
continues and not even the garage is safe; so I plugged it in,
worked on the canopy to make it fit. With a 2200mah battery
(heavy) the heli BALANCES but perfect.
Cycled the GYRO, beeped happily and gave a soft twirl of the
blades, inside. That's IT......it seems to be VERY READY. So first
change I get it will be tried.
have HUNDREDS of hours on both SIMS (FSONE & 4.5) done in the
past month. I think I should be good to go
A GLIMPSE of the INNOVATOR just behind.......
