Default Do I know what I am doing ?

Hi folks,

I know what I am doing but not sure if it is the proper thing to do.

front servo . . .
I heard a strange noise in that servo; sounded like skipping teeths.
I took it off and opened it. Now I know what it looks like inside.
I could not find anything wrong. There is no damaged teeths on any gear.
The final gear onto which the arm is screwed on works on only a few teeth and there is no damage there either. I put it back together and re-installed it and it works fine.

main motor
The thought came in my mind about lubrication in this BLADE 300 X.
Having operated many things in my life I felt like it all sounded dry .
I was particularly concerned about the outrunner that spins so fast.
I also was thinking about that fellow that showed a video repairing the motor shaft that had been worn by the inner raceway that was spinnning. He reported that was in less than 20 (twenty) flights.

I took the motor off to access the bearings.
Not knowing what I was doing I deposited a drop of Singer Sewing Machine oil on both bearings. That was done using a toothpick to carry the tiny oil drop over.

I also deposited a drop on the bearings of the main shaft and the swash assembly.
Re-mounting the motor I notice the elongated opening of the frame so that the motor can be adjusted for its pinion engagement to the main gear.

If anyone needs you can ask me how to do it and I will guide you.

After all together again I made some running tests and I really feel good about it.
I feel that there is evidence that much less vibraton is noted.
It does not feel dry . . . . . . .

Hope that all had an enjoyable Easter Holiday.
