Default RE: Oiling groove In Auto Clutch. Raptor60

Winter is a big setback for flying. That's why sims are selling so well and it gives me time to tear down the machines and do "the annual" so when flying season comes around again everything is like new for another season.
The upside is we appreciate warmer weather. I went flying last sunday afternoon during a warm spell, 55 degrees F and 15 to 20 mph winds. Needless to say I didn't fly for very long, hands swelled up from cold and wind kept me on my toes.
If there is a calm day when it's around 20 or 30 out and you can get the engine to light up, man does a heli fly good in those conditions, thick heavy air, cool enough to make the engine run great and the blades can cut the air better. Downside is plastic gets brittle when it's this cold so avoiding hard landings and crashing along with the frozen ground which is like concrete.

Back to the subject at hand, you might want to check out the QuickUK auto hub. I know several others that tried it and had very good things to say about it.
