[NSRCA-discussion] Installing TX springs

[Stuart Chale]

You definitely do not want to take the gimbal apart.
Some springs are more difficult than others to install.  You may have to
bend the new spring to match the old one.  Patience usually works.  If you
are installing heavier springs, I like the Futaba ones available from Tower.
I have not done a 7C but in the ones I have done, they fit pretty easily.  I
have struggled with another brand.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Installing TX springs

Anyone installed gymbal tension springs in a Futaba 7C?  I can't figure 
out how to attach the spring for the lateral axis.  The spring loop end 
isn't big enough to go over the hook on the end of the tension arm 
unless it's at an angle, and the body of the gymbal housing prevents 
inserting the spring at sufficient angle.  Do I need to completely take 
apart the gymbal?
