Bought pair of these skids, wasn't particularly impressed with the quality to be honest, not sure they were actually straight. Taking my stock skids off the heli, I got the left rear carbon rod wedged in the socket and it broke off in there. Need to get a mini drill bit and try get it out. Annoying thing is I have a spare chassis, BUT I can't get the pin out of the rotor head shaft, it seems to be soo tight, I don't want to force it too hard and break something. Is there a trick to this???

Anyway flew my heli after putting the skids on, and after a few touch and goes a not particularly hard landing, just trying to avoid a bike in the yard, the front right join where the plastic meets the aluminum, just sheared off. So now I can't put stock skids back on. Frustrating me this, costing me a damn fortune even when I'm not even crashing heavily. Crying or Very sad
