Installing high tension spring on Futaba 8U tx

[Tony Stillman]

The high tension springs are not the cause of the broken tab.  The breakage
will occure if the loop on the spring is too small, putting a side-load on
the spring clip.  If you have to stretch the loop to get it over the clip,
you need to re-bend the loop so it will slip over.
