Default RE: squeaky wheel?


ORIGINAL: skeeter_ca

The front wheel on my GP Trainer 40 has started to squeak like a banshi when taking off or landing. I probably have 100 flights on it and it just now started to squeak. I was wondering if just taking off the wheel and cleaning it and sanding the axle would be enough. What is the best way to make it stop? Should i use some WD-40 or grease when reassembling it?

Simple answer, retire the PT-40 and get yourself into a 4*.

As an alternative you could just replace what ever is making the noise, the wheel, gear or engine mount. All fast and cheap, but not as fun as a 4*.
