Rotor Installation Issue

I attempted to install the main rotor to the helicopter and despite all my best efforts, I was not able to. From what I was able to determine in the plans, a plastic rod should have been inserted into the motor where it could spin freely. After several attempts I ended up snapping the rod, fortunately, the chopper did not supper any damage. I decided to cut a small metal rod and super glue it to the rotor. While it will work the rotor will technically be free to fall off if the model was in an inverted position. A small price to pay to get this part installed.
