So darn close!
The new Blade CX4 fuselage in bright green arrived today! Like the old Twister Police Helicam fuselage, the new fuse has LEDs both front and rear which plug in the same way as the light system on the previous fuselage. Mocking it up to the frame this afternoon showed me this big buzzard of a coaxial helicopter is going to look really, really nice. It will be a brand new indoor/outdoor model for a total outlay of about $25. From scrap to superb, as it were.
Problem: It didn't come with the mounts. They're sold separately. The good news is, they're still in stock. My hobby shop ordered the mounts today and they'll be here on Tuesday. True, this is an incredibly simple rebuild as if it were being rebuilt after a crash. It's just that it had been returned to the original retailer for whatever reason, cannibalized for some parts and discarded. For nearly six years, it sat unused, but no longer. I'm even going to get a second Lectron Pro battery for the three models! It's as I'd written; there's a great feeling taking a pile of parts - any pile - and turning them back into a fun, functional and like new model! |
