Wow, an old Hawk III, The Hawk III was the last Hawk to have the 8mm main shaft. It was replaced over 14 years ago by the Hawk IV which had a 10mm main shaft system.

I believe Century stopped making the 8mm main shafts in 2010 or so (nine years after production of the Hawk III stopped). Consequently I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone that still has one.

The only thing I can suggest, is to convert your Hawk III to the 10mm mainshaft system with the conversion upgrade (part number slips my mind at the moment). It contains the main shaft, the swashplate, the washout hub, the two 10mm main shaft support bearings and the main rotor hub. I believe this conversion kit is still available from Heli-World in the USA or Leisure-Tech here in Canada.

Then in the future, if you have a mishap that bends the main shaft, you will still be able to find one.

You will also find that the 10mm main shaft will not be bent as easily as the old 8mm shaft did.

Very true bro. Yea I'm going to do 10mm upgrade but there other that needs to go with it its elevator crank i think since the genth is also bigger not just thicker. But to do that will cost me half of the price of a hawk pro new in box.
