How I change out the main gearshaft on the blade CP!

1.) disconnect the control links that go from the swashplate at the flybar side only.
2.) Pull out the pin through the spindle rotor head.
3.) pull the entire rotor head assembly upward from the main spindle.
4.) file any burrs over the 1mm hole that goes through the spindle shaft. I use a flat jewlers file
5.) pull the stock skid rods partway through the plastic side frame and out of the main frame one by one.
you need to slide the silicone tube sections away from the side frame before removing the the skid rods free of the main frame sockets
6.) now rotate the entire skid unit away to one side which will now allow the entire gearshaft to be pulled down through once you loosen the screw on the alum collar between the main frame and the swashplate.
If your shaft is bent to hard you may need to cut it off with a 1/16 wide cut off wheel mounted on a dremel tool. It works kinda like a small chop saw. make sure to protect your critical parts from sparks while you sever the shaft. Maybe some of you have other ways of doing this to save even more time. Carefully reinstall the new shaft up through the alum collar swashplate, and then reinstall the rotor head unit. reinstall the control links to the ball links on the flybar frame. You can use a small sewing needle to hold the rotor head unit in line to the spindle shaft pin hole while you push the new shft pin in from the opposite side with needle nose pliers.
