Many online places sell the parts, so all you really need to buy is a supply of shafts if you keep bending them... I'm trying to remember where I got mine. Maybe it was allerc.com... There's also aircraft-world.com, and a plethora of others.
We gotta get that Slow Stick flying right so you quit bending shafts...

Tell me about it. I think I finally got it, but it was in my backyard, hence the bent shaft. I know this is supposed to be a backyard flyer, but I need a bigger test area next time, too many obsticles. I just can't believe how fragile that shaft is. Is it a weight issue that make them use a metal thats so easy to bend? Theres gotta be a stonger metal than what theyre using.

Tower Hobbies is where I got my most recent one. They seem to have all of em in stock. Paid $14 for the "F" version. Came with complete gearbox w/bearings and the drive gear for the motor.
