BAH!

Yesterday I was setting up the plane with my transmitter and I was adjusting the servo reversing for the rudder and accidentally did the throttle! OUCH!

I grabbed the plane but not after tearing up the prop with both my hands! Nothing too bad - a few real little cuts and one real good one on the top of my right index finger on the section between my knuckle and the first finger joint. Again - not a bad cut but a cut none the less. These little planes ALWAYS get me the best. Well...now my gearbox is a little worse for wear and I don't think it's going to last long as it is. It's got a couple of gears that are a little worn.

Here's the thing - which GWS gearbox would I replace it with since eveyone I've looked at online so far is out of the eflight EFLM221 gearbox and it's parts (since I really only need the spur gear).

Edit:

I'm kind of wishing I had bought an outrunner instead of using the geared motor setup; I can see buying more replacement gearboxes and with the outrunner it would have been a non issue I suppose...
