Lubrication Charts

Post by simon »

At the risk of sounding ignorant, is there a lubrication chart somewhere that shows the proper lubricant to be used on the flap tracks and rollers on the B model? The 100 series manual is fairly vague if I recall. Just curious what everybody is using.

Use Mil-L-7870 general purpose oil on rollers, bearings and flap tracks, every 100 hours/3 months and annually. (If you don't have Mil- L-7870, you can use 3-in-One oil, or any good quality gun oil. LPS-2 is also OK tho' a bit lightweight.)
