Hi All
What is a good way to get the lower linkage unhooked from the blades and the swashplate? Do they just snap off?

Thanks Dave

Davndon,

You didn't mention what type of heli you have. If a Blade CX/CX2 or Blade CP/CP Pro, just use your finger nail or a small pair of needle nose pliers. Don't be afraid to pull somewhat. There is a set of ball linkage pliers that makes things easier and a must for the higher end heli. Here's a link to a set of link pliers: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLSV3

That's pretty much a going price, you may find it somewhere less expensive but not much.
