Props won't screw in syma s5xw

[CONNIE MARCOTT]

After owning the syma a few weeks I upgraded to the phantom 3 but still want it to work. We had to replace a motor after 2 weeks but when we put it back together, 1 prop just spins when trying to tightern it. Bought the "prop fixing unit" which is the shaft they screw into but how do we get the old shaft off? Syma gives no info on what you are buying or how to make it work you just have to learn it all alome. Please help a newbie out

I wish I had the answer for ya. I ordered all the gear, shaft, prop mount stuff about a week ago for my X5sw-1 for spares. I'd imagine it would take some gentle prying. Maybe Jackson or some of the old pros can help ya with that. That Phantom 3 ought to be a blast.

Use pliers and pull the white stem off and the shaft and gear will slide out the bottom. Your replacement gears came with four of those white attachments and just put it on when u slide the new gearshaft in. Hope that helps.
