Hi All

Does anyone know if the upper rotor head & or the Flybar hub/holder are removeable from the inner shaft? They are all listed as as seperate parts in the manual yet I don't think they can be seperated. The reason I ask is that I have a slightly bent inner shaft with a good flybar hub/holder and a good shaft with a busted flybar head/holder and would like to make one good assembly out of it.

Thanks

Jim

Jim, unfortunately, the plastic upper rotor hub is molded onto the shaft. While it is removable, the damage is permanent because you have to destroy the hub to remove it. Thankfully, the replacement inner shaft, including the new plastic upper hub, is only $6.99. Keep in mind that you may continue to break those hubs. I broke mine on the first flight. Thus, I might suggest replacing the hub with the upgraded CNC aluminum hub. Both MicroHeli and E-flite make a version, and while their visual style differs a bit, both are equally functional on the CX/2. At that point, if you bend the shaft, you need only replace the shaft and not the head (shaft is available from microheli.com for $3.99). The aluminum head bolts on using an allen/hex set screw. Hope this helps. Neall

I think the only way to replace the inner shaft w/ the stock(plastic) unit is to replace the complete part. I am using an aluminum unit from e-flite & you can just replace the shaft w/ the aluminum unit.

" I am using an aluminum unit from e-flite & you can just replace the shaft w/ the aluminum unit."
That's the way to go. I smacked mine into a wall broke the plastic one, the aluminum one only 10 bucks more. Haven't had a problem since.( or maybe I'm just not hitting as much as I was.)

Thanks for the info guys. I have replaced my inner shaft before & it is not that expensive. I just happen to look in the manual and it showed the shaft, head, and hub all as seperate parts & I could not see how they would be replaced individually.

I plan to go to the aluminum version if my LHS has one tomorrow.

Thanks

Jim

Zeke, here's a link to an excellent guide for disassembling the CX/2. Neall
