Lubrication......

[Dashik]

No, nothing to do with the inflatable sheep mentioned elsewhere.

Just sitting here thinking, and I do know thats dangerous, but should the bearings on a heli be lubed? If so what with?? If not why not?

It just seems a little odd that none of the kits seem to mention the use of say a light machine oil on bearings or rotating parts.

I dribble a bit of Tri-flow in mine.

BAAAA!


The lack of bearing maintenance mentioned suprised me too.
I think a bit of light oil after a days use is beneficial as long as you're careful.
Don't drown 'em and wipe of any residue.
You don't want any in your clutch bell either (running it down the start shaft).
