So I bought a Futaba balancing arm for my neck strap only to find that the ring on the TX was the wrong way round. So I thought, hmm probably just twists around. So I twist it... and then snap. I sheared the bolt off.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get this fixed and source the parts?

Wouldn't a seriously strong glue, maybe No More Nails do the job getting the old one back in and locked?
This is not a game anymore!

That was my first idea but I didn't feel like leaving it up to a bit of glue to hold my TX on, it would worry me that it would just let go during a flight.

Cheers, I will contact them first to see if this can be replaced.

I didn't think I would ever have to replace my TX and for such a simple thing as a snapped neck hook it would be a shame.

Update: Chap at Ripmax posted me a replacement free of charge. Which was rather nice of them. Good old fashioned service at it's best :)
