How to fix a parkzone micro citabria
I broke the prop of a parkzone micro citabria.The prop came straight off without breaking but it looks like the gearbox attached to the prop broke causing about a mm to stay on the prop but not enough to pull out.Any suggestions

Super, is there enough on the gearbox to re-engage? It was a fairly regular deal on the Cessna. If so, just put the prop on the gear.

Super, take a good pair of pliers and hold onto the wire. Unscrew it from your prop. Then see if your prop won't screw back on to the gear box. Tim

Do you have a drill press? If not, it will be hard to get the broken shaft out of the prop. Buy a new prop and glue it on to the broken shaft.
