Re: broken flybar removal

Hi,

Sorry to hear about this, you were doing so well too.... I take it your friend is paying for the damage.? This is an open and shut case of fwoc(ing) (flying without owners consent) lol

Its a carbon fibre flybar aint it. That means it'll be fun to get out. You could try one of the following..

1. Pair of self locking pliers (mole grips) on whats left of the flybar... lock them up tight and pull.
2. Piece of straight wire about the same diameter as the flybar... Use this to push the remainder out.. You may need to resort to tapping it through but it should work.
3. Drill it out. But the possibility of damaging other parts is very high.

I dont think you'll need to break the flybar carrier but you can never be sure. Try the above and see what happens. You should check your mainshaft also if you havent done so already.

Good luck... Azzy
