General WASP 3x Canopy strut repair

[heli_aviator]

I bought a wasp 3x fbl heli. (I'm a beginner). I crashed it and snapped both canopy struts at the threads where they are threaded into the main rotor shaft bearing block. How can I get the broken pieces out?

Easy outs or drill bits designed for removing broken bolts.

Just be careful you may need to re tap those holes.

Yup ,the smallest left handed drill bit you can get your hands on. Push hard and hope it grabs the bolt and backs it out.

Thanks muranket and Tony. I talked with the mgr at the shop I bought it. He said to remove the fwd l/h and r/h screws in the upper main rotor shaft bearing block. Slide it up and with needle nose pliers, I shoud be able to back them out. Fingers crossed.
