I managed to break the elevator ball off the swashplate - Eco 8. Is there a decent fix or do I need to get a new swash?

If you have the plastic swash than you need to get a new one. If you have the metal one, rotate the swash 180 degrees and use the ball on that side.

More info needed

I've broken a few, maybe I can help but I need:
Aluminum or stock swash?
120 or 90 degree setup?
broken screw or swash arm?

Thanks all for the tips. Decided to go with willy's idea once I knew it was do-able. It is the stock plastic swash, 90 degree set up. I got hold of a spare rod from a Nexus or Stiletto I once had which is about the same diameter (1.8mm) as the anti-rotation rod , drilled out the swash where the ball had snapped off, screwed in the rod, cut to length (about 20mm), slipped on a ball and retained it with a nut. Seems to be fine, possibly better than the plastic stuff.
