Dragonfly 22D Main rotor shaft to main gear connection?
The main rotor shaft on my Dragonfly 22D appears to be no longer connected to the main gear. Does anyone know how the main gear attacheds to the main rotor shaft? There are two little pins on the main gear, that may go in a hole in the shaft, but I don't know for sure and don't want to force them in.
Thanks,
Rich

It should be one little pin. If that doesn't make sense, then consider that the two little pins you refer to are probably the ends of the one little pin that went all the way through.
The main gear of the 22A/D has a small hole in it, and so does the metal shaft.
If you get a 1mm dia spring steel rod from a hobby shop and cut a short length, remove all three broken sections and refit the new pin, all should be good again

Thanks for the advice. Now I have to figure out how to line up the gear and the shaft so I can get the pin back in.
