  Tony,

  I got the parts to fix my transmitter just in time for the Jetero contest.   Thanks again for the attentive service.

    Lance:

    See my post about installing springs.  It is not that the parts are not designed for this, as they will work just fine!  The spring MUST be able to pivot easily, if not it WILL bend and break off the tip of the plastic retainer!

      A comment about those new springs:  I've now seen 3 transmitters break the plastic hook that holds the spring to the gimbal.  On gimbal broke twice!! first time on the plastic hook and the second on the gimbal side. Those plastic parts are nit designed for the load of the heavy duty springs.  My transmitter was one of these.  I now believe that they are a nice idea but an impractical one.
      Be warned and be ready to land with no spring center.

        Since all this talk about Li-Poly's and such, I was wondering what type and size fire extinguisher you guys would recommend for your shop.

        Second question.  I recently replaced my gimbal springs with the Radio South heavy duty springs.  The stock springs had grease on them.  Anybody know what type grease you should use on your transmitter springs?

        Thanks,

        Bruce
