While flying a spin? Bummer. 

Where are you located? USA? Not a lot of Tigers around. 

What you might do, since that Tiger is an F18, is to find another F18 mast, such as a Goodall C2/Akurra, or a Nacra 18 mast. They're all the same length. The mast step might be a bit different, though, so you could likely use the base of your old mast on a new mast, maybe modified with a little ingenuity.

If you're in the USA, try contacting Jill Nickerson of Red Gear Racing in Florida. She'll be of good help. Tell her Marley sent you..... she'll get a chuckle out of that... maybe. 🤣

Thanks, it was while flying a spin. The traveler was in and I let the main out. Costly mistake
