| Cleaning?Hi deckerv, I have never used anything other than Windex, it works fine, use it after every flight, or at least after every days flying. Don't lube the plastic balls or links, do oil the tail pitch slider and swash plate-only a couple of drops.
The balls and links are more or less self lubricating, you can use a tool to loosen up the links a bit if they are too tight, or just fly them (be sure there is no binding) and they will "break-in" after several flights.
If you put oil or grease on them it will only collect dirt and that will act like sandpaper and ware the parts quickly.
This is especially true for newer pilots who will be hovering close to the ground for several tanks of fuel.
BTW, there are NO dumb questions, unless you want to know the winning loto numbers-then I would play them if I knew! |
I would use caution if you use it.
. Just use old T shirt to wipe off those oil. My R30 still look new after 6 months and close to 200 flights .
