That does make sense as I saw a photo someone using this plier near the swashplate. These are differnet from the ball linkges in the photo in a previous message ? Yes, I should just get a heli and f*cking look at it, I know. Ton Looking at the pic earlier I can see why you wondered what the pliers where for, this is a link to a page with a few different type of pliers, http://www.modelhelicopters.co.uk/acatalog/VarAccs_BallPliersDrive.html I'm not full of Stella now :-) >> Ball link pliers are a special type of pliers that have a "U" shaped >> grove cut into one of the jaws.

Unless you have very strong & tough fingers. You must have soft fingeres. Using fingers was the way it HAD to be done in medieval times before the ball link lifters were invented.

Go to the hobby shop and ask to play with a pair of ball link pliers. Links for the removal of.

You may THIK youo're safe with that farty little piece of water between us, but I'm a SAILOR!!!. As for ball link pliers, they're nothing more than a normal pair of (small) flat nosed pliers with a semi-circle of material removed from the tip of one of the jaws and a "pimple" welded/incorporated on the other jaw so that the "pimple" sits inside the hole where the material was removed. This allows the pliers to be fitted UNDER the ball link and the pimple sits on top of the ball. Squeeze the pliers and the link is lifted off the ball.
