Stupid me was not paying attention and dropped my TX (http://www.rchelicoptertown.com/forum/glossary.php?do=viewglossary&term=3) on the edge of the canopy and broke that stupid little bar the 2 canopy holes go over to hold it in place... I think its called a shoring....... are those sold separate & where? Or what can I substitute that'll fit in the holes and hold the canopy tight?

It is 2mm carbon rod. You can buy it at most hobby shops. Just cut to length and there you go. Or you could go for the Trex canopy pins.

I live out in the stix so hard to get to a LHS. I had a pack of 2 flybar rods and found that if you cut off the threads and cut in half you have 2 that would be very hard to break.

I have seen the B400 one's down my LHS and I recall they were smaller than Align one's.
The above post is good one....if it can come out of the spare box and will cost you nothing it's ok in my book :thumbup:
