600XL Shaft Snapped

As it says, about 16 flights in, was at the top of a stall turn when the motor went crazy. hit throttle hold and auto'd it down fine, but annoying none-the-less. no warranty though as i bought the kit second hand (but new). will buy a new one tomorrow, which at least will have a warranty.....

Jesus mate well done for saving it.
Buy a new one, in a weeks time take the knackered one back with the receipt for the new one...Hey presto! Free motor!

I would and have done similar before but didnt want to mention it first

well thats what i hope ill be doing, gonna have a chat with the shop owner tomorrow when i pick it up (we get on well, im sure he'll help me along with this ). The auto was far from tidy, as i had low headspeed from coming down from the stall turn, but got the head speed up in the flare, and landed it nicely. Bloody annoying though
