    strut bushing damage

    got a ul1 and has been running great ,but came in after a few runs and my strut bushing was completly gone worn away ,now my props are all s&b ,

    on last run my bushing did pull out of strut a bit to meet dogbone ,what does this ,should you squish strut a bit so bushing is tight ??? ..

    anyway my strut and bushing are crap and i dont want this to happen again ,,below is pic of bushing ,whats left of it !!

      Looks like it bound up and broke. Did you have 3/16's clearance from the drive dog to the strut and was it well greased? Are you sure part of it isn't still in the stuffing tube? The bushing can be CA'ed to keep it in place if needed. I still have 2 each - struts, bushings, flex shafts, and couplers from a pair I crashed racing. I will give you a good deal on any parts you want - LMK.
