The crankshaft on my Pacemaker 59 let go while flying in our Vintage Stunt comp this weekend. It was the second round and I'd just completed the climb and dive and wing over and was in level flight when the motor made a horrible vibrating sound, the prop and prop dive flew off which was followed by the inevitable shaft run.
Fortunately the piston sleeve was okay and there was no other damage to the motor or model apart from a ding in the wing leading edge where the prop parted company with the plane.
Looks like it wasn't a good weekend for shafts from the other number of other posts looking for shafts!

Can anyone help with a Pacemaker 59 crankshaft or a parts engine with a useable shaft please. Any help locating one would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
