N45480, THE ORIGINAL REDBIRD. One of the best ways to make a pilot feel like they are ying a real airplane is to put them in a real airplane. That’s why when we set out to revolutionize the ight simulation industry, we decided to make our prototype out of a real airplane fuselage, salvaged, restored and modied for use as a simulator cockpit. We started searching aircraft graveyards across the state of Texas to nd a suitable candidate when we stumbled across N45480 decaying in a eld south of Dallas. It was a Cessna 177 Cardinal RG and it was perfect for our rst prototype. Not long after we bought this Cardinal, we realized that the idea of using an old fuselage was not as ingenious as we had once thought. So we revised our plans, and N45480 was sent back to quietly repose in the Texas sun. Although our original plans for her didn’t work out, we’ve never forgotten the plane that was once to become the rst FMX. How could we? After-all we named the company after her. 2 3 MCX The MCX is the perfect option for ight schools focused on ab-initio pilot training, CFI/CFII and CRM training.
