Re: Woodruff key in camshaft
Have you pointed this out to Draganfly so they can bin their stock instead of suppling other people with the same wrong part?

Re: sq mk2 footrests
A quick look in the parts book tells me that they are 5383-46 and are what might be termed standard fitment being found on all post 1946 rig/plun singles and twins.
