Has anyone done a turbine conversion , I have thefreewing avanti with a Xicoy 45 turbine in it and I have ordered the kit version and going to set it up and just swap the turbine from model to model

This is a pic of the broken pin next to a pin from my Sebart mini avanti. As you can see there is absolutely no bending. The Sebart pin did bend like it should, because it was designed and built with the correct hardness. The Freewing pin was designed and manufactured out of metal far to brittle. That's what I meant when I said it's a design problem.
I guess I will contact Alpha, but I'm sceptical after buying a Mig29 at the first pre order and having one of the first nose dive experiences early on and nobody believing me. I was called inexperienced and a bad pilot until it happened to others. Kinda got the same vibe when I made the warranty claim on the pin.

The pin on my Stinger broke pretty much in the same spot. Happened on a landing which was not perfect, but not so bad that i would expect the pin to break.
