JR Heli Vibe - Airskipper - Sylphide - Venture > Venture airframe lubrication???

Hi,
I guess I don't recall seeing in the manual any discussion of lubricating the airframe, bearings, etc. Could someone recommend a lubricating schedule for this bird? what to use for lube? where to lube? where not to lube? I thought I heard some sort of metal on metal squealing while flying last night and thought maybe I had a bearing going dry or something. However noticed nothing interference wise with the radio (FM).

Thanks for the help!!!

Well I can see RunRyder is a nice place to come when you're sick and tired of people being nice to you.......hah, hah.

Hopefully the squeal will still be there when I learn to fly inverted!!!

Could not resist.Some wise guy did that one on me when I asked-I'm just keeping the world spinning....I don't think there should be much to oil.Sealed bearings....The tail pitch slider is a little, fast spinning bushing though.May have bad bearing in start shaft area.It takes a lot of abuse. Joe V.

May have found source of noise, but not sure. I noticed this am that one of the blade covers was split at the tip. Fixed it up with a little CA and no longer notice the noise. Is it possible that I was actually hearing a very high pitched whistle???
