Status: offline 		Can I use the main shaft from the honey bee fp to replace the shaft on the #4? I know many of the parts are interchangeable but the HB FP does not have the clip in the middle of the shaft like the #4 has.

Status: offline 		I'm pretty sure they're the same - certainly close enough to try. I have a Hummingbird FP and a VNRII (same as the #4) and the shafts look the same to me without tearing down both helis to compare them. I just rebuilt my VNRII head with Dynam Hughs, HB, and VNRII parts. I haven't flown it yet, but it looks like it will work.

Does anyone know if I can replace the GWS dragonfly main shaft with the Walkera #4 main shaft?
