I haven't broken a single thing yet or had to replace a single piece (knock on wood).

I agree with zooland. I have replaced several Main shafts and spindles (4 or more ) since
last October. Just the other day I broke the tail support rod on a hard landing in grass.
I checked the heli over and checked blade tracking (It was off ) I corrected the tracking, Then
tried a maintenance flight. I had a wobble (ever so slight). the next day I tore it all down and
replaced the spindle and Main shaft, along with New Bearings for the shaft. I reset the heli up ( I use
BDavisons setup. )

It doesn't take much to bend either of these parts (sad but true). Set up and balance is
everything on Any heli. just my 2 cents.
