I posted this in another thread earlier today, but here it is again. When I find a sprung or broken shock absorber in one of these, I squeeze or beat it back to within spec length, clamp it in a big C-clamp and weld that thing up so it can’t ever do that again. I then use a brass shear pin in the prop to save the gears. Here’s the last one I fixed.
