Mine just broke at the same spot as everyone else's, right at the top above the flybar.

I cannot describe how really angry this made me. It looks like a major problem and I will bet that over 98% of them will break in the same spot.

Horizon must have known about this defect through their testing. Only a slight hit on the flybar and it is broken...every time, but IMO, they obviously were in a hurry to get them out for the holidays and chose to ignore the issue.

I ordered two replacements. You get the inner shaft, main gear and the head piece for $9.00.

To remove them simple losen the collar at the bottom and pull it. Watch it because there is a bearing in the middle and I nearly lost it.
