Delrin bearings and Crown Silicon lubricant
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 6:31 pm
Thanks to Ron, I tried it on my elevator and it loosened it up considerably.
I sprayed some on the inside control column bearings and that helped too.
Now the elevator will actually drop to full forward position just by
gravity. I have never had that. So looks like this stuff does indeed work.
Wayne knows his plastics, that's for sure.
I should do it to my flaperon ones, too.
Will have to see what happens next time I am up in cold (minus freezing)
weather to see if they don't stiffen up now. During warm weather, like now
in summer, they were always OK.
