| i do postflight inspections at the end of the day while charging batteries. I always store fully charged. I to see that no end to end play exists on all of the ball links, all of the screws, spacers and frames, servo connections, antannea connection, check for chafing of fuel lines or servo wires. I lube certain pieces immediately before flight. I use tri-flo for most lubing. If I feel that a ball link or other moving part is dirty, I will sometimes use remoil to clean it. Remoil is a very thin teflon oil that slings off immediately. It slings the dirt with it after a few spool ups and leaves the teflon.
