Ok, sorry to ask... ask....and ask more ?'s.
What parts need lubed and what to lube them with? (Excluding engine) and where do you purchase these products?
Not having any problems, just want to prevent them
Thanks
Kevin

Silicon lubricant (not WD-40) is what I use for the following points;
- Main mast where the radius block and swashplate make contact.
- Tail rotor shaft where the tail pitch slider ring make contact.
Lithium grease is what I use for the following points;
- Thrust bearings in the main blade grips
- Dampers in the yoke or headblock.
- Thrust bearings in the tail blade holders.
I lube the mast and tail shaft regularly, the thrust bearings and dampers (basically stuff that requires dissassembly) gets checked every 3 months (unless in a crash which makes it sooner).

Silicone oil for all bearings
Teflon spray for sliding parts
