Tail spring clips

[FiLazer]

Hey all,

Realized that the previous owner of my Agile had the ball links on backwards that connect to the tail blade grips, making it impossible to have the control rod "pull" to give right rudder instead of push (without pushing the ball links on the wrong way of course). All other helis I have built have pulled to give right rudder, so I'm assuming this should be the case for the 7.2? If so, how do I safely remove the spring clips that hold these ball links on without damaging them? What tool would I use? Never worked with these before. Thanks!

I use a small flat head screw driver and just carefully push them off. If you feel like they need to be replaced you can find them pretty cheap all over the Internet. They're just a small c clip. Hope this helps.

Thank you! Worked like a charm.

Perhaps I spoke too soon. When reassembling I lost 1 of the clips into the abyss that is my carpet.....do you know what size these are so I can get new ones? I'm assuming they're 2 since the grooved shaft has a 2mm dia
