I've been in heli's for a few months (Off and on for longer than that) and I've never seen info on what to grease or oil on a heli. I assume that the swashplate bearing on the main shaft needs it, as does the tail rotor slider and gear. What about the following:

1) Main gears
2) Ball Links (I don't think so but not sure)
3) Feathering shaft
4) Thrust bearings in the head
5) Tail wire drive (If so equipped)
6) Aileron, elevator and pitch bellcranks
7) Starter shaft bearing
8) Main shaft bearing

There no info in the two heli books I have, nor is there any in the heli instruction manuals I have. I'm sure other newbies also need to know this!

Thanks

Bob
