Only grease the gear box every 50 flights. It takes me 15 minutes to do this. Also, I can do "Flying Lunches" during the week. Just take 3 batteries charged and going to the field that is 10 minutes from my office. Probably the single reason that explaing my improvement in the last few years. I go back to work and nobody can notice that I have been flying. I hope my boss is not reading this e-mail.....
