2 weeks and still down
2 weeks ago (21st October) I had a fairly significant crash and my King has been grounded ever since 
In case you don’t have access to the HeliGuy forum, basically the heli was caught by a gust of wind which blew it straight at me. I had no time to react and the heli hit me and I dropped the transmitter. The idle-up switch was broken off, not before it was switched into idle-up mode! So there I was with a useless transmitter and a heli on it’s side on the ground … not a good situation!
I managed to source some replacement - although not equivalent - switches for the transmitter and fitted them today. Thankfully, the transmitter is fine! The next concern was the motor and ESC. I dismounted the motor and powered up. I gingerly moved the throttle stick and … the motor spun into live!! Thank goodness for that 
The electronics are all OK and I now have replacement servos (3 x SG90 and 1 x SG50), however I do not have all the bits to replace the bent shafts. The main shaft, feathering shaft and the flybar are bent, also the main gear is a few teeth short!
It seems to me that the best option is to go for a Belt CP barebones kit and transfer my stuff over, so that is what I will do. Unfortunately, due to monetary restrictions the upgrade will have to wait a while
So, 2 weeks and counting………….
