I sure will be glad when Hobby Zone gets in the prop shafts for my cub. they have been out of stock for quite a while now. I have not flown in far too long and I'm getting cranky. lol I can't find it on ebay either. So, If you guys got the secret hook up let a brotha know!  Thanks for listening to me whine. Im going to mope around the house now and get on my wifes nerves some more.  |

Bummer deal, Fire...
Have you tried to straighten that one, assuming it's bent?
Or is there some other metal rod that could work?

No straightening. It broke in two. A small threaded part is stuck inside the prop. I have tried JB welding it back together a few times and it works for a few flights but it ends up just spinning inside the prop then coming out. But I certainly appreciate the offer Raygun. kent I don't know if I could find a die small enough to make the threads necessary to attach the prop. It is just a tiny little shaft on the ultra micro. For that mater I don't know if I could find a rod that small. China, ugh.... |

The shaft is, if I still remember how to read the micrometer, 1 mm. Not sure how long it is as it is broke off at the prop end. One end of the shaft with the white nut on it is a reverse thread. The other end is regular thread and the spur gear is stuck in the middle. not sure if the gear could be gotten off and put on a new shaft or not.  |
